distance of 15 x 140 feet. About 300 yards of earth were 
taken from conservatory range 2 and used to fill in the 
new road at the rose garden. The earth of two sections 
in the display house at conservatory range 2 were taken 
out and replaced with topsoil so that we might put the 
plants in the ground. This topsoil was taken from the 
two new paths under construction, one on the eastern side 
of power house 2 and the other near the cherry garden 
shelter. 
About 600 yards of fill were hauled into the Garden 
by outside contractors. It was carted in at the expense 
of contractors who were seeking a convenient place to 
dispose of it. About 400 yards were placed on the new 
road at the rose garden and the remainder was used for the 
lane near the horticultural garden. 
We blasted about 1,500 yards of stone in the two quarries. 
This stone and the balance of that which was blasted last 
year were used for paths at the horticultural and rose 
gardens and to build the coal bunker at power house I. 
Nearly 250 cubic yards of stone were used to build this 
coal bunker. The stone taken from the quarry near the 
museum building was used to build paths south of the 
horticultural garden. 
Drainage 
To drain the coal bin at power house 1, we used 50 feet 
of 4-inch drain pipe. Two catch basins and 120 feet of 
3-inch drain pipe were used to drain the mallow garden. 
Roads and Paths 
The plaza at the western entrance of conservatory range 2 
was enlarged from 40x 40 feet to 50x75 feet. We cut 
out soil east of power house 2 for a path to feet wide and 
about 800 feet long and also for a path 10 feet wide and 
100 feet long near the cherry garden shelter, and used it 
in forming planting areas in the central display green- 
house. On the western side of the rose garden a 10-foot 
path, 510 feet long, with a branch 10 feet wide and 60 feet
