Additions to Property. — The most important addition to the station prop- 

 erty was the installing of a new water system. This includes a pumping station 

 capable of forcing 7,600 gallons of water per hour into a 20,000 gallon tank. 

 This is elevated 100 feet from the ground, which gives excellent pressure to the 

 system. 700 yards of 4-inch iron pipe form the main which, in turn, supplies 

 the various nursery compartments through the existing 5 acres of overhead 

 sprinkling system. 



Four new buildings have been erected during the year. An implement 

 house, 101 feet long by 30 feet wide, provides needed room for all machinery. 

 One small barn, a common room for employees, and an additional workmen's 

 house were also erected. This makes a total of 8 dwellings as follows: Man- 

 ager's residence, foreman's house, 5 houses for teamsters, fire ranger, and work- 

 men, and a common room. 



Two and a half acres of new lawn was made, a half-mile cedar hedge 

 planted, and 140 rods of wire fence was erected.
