Garden who were looking for a place to dispose of it. This 
earth was deposited to our satisfaction at the contractors’ 
expense. About 1,000 yards of the earth were placed 
north of the Woodlawn Road bridge, and about 3,000 yards 
were placed in the old quarry near the Pelham Avenue 
and Southern Boulevard entrance. 
Nearly 4,800 yards of earth were removed in the con- 
struction of the new driveway at the rose garden, and about 
3,500 yards of this earth were used to extend the driveway 
across the lake, the remaining 1,300 yards being used to 
grade both sides of this new drive. About 300 yards of top- 
soil also were removed from the paths at the iris corner to 
grade both sides of the new road through the rose garden 
and for grading near the mansion. 
Drainage 
For the construction of the deep drain at power house 2, 
we have added 44 feet of 8-inch pipe. We used 202 feet 
of 6-inch pipe to extend the catch-basin pipe to the river 
at the northwestern end of the long bridge. On the 
western side of the river near Pelham Avenue, 50 feet of 
12-inch pipe were used to connect the culvert with the 
river, and 850 feet of 6-inch pipe have been laid through 
the old drain in the rose garden, to which two catch-basins 
have been connected. In laying this drain-pipe through 
the rose garden, we removed 700 feet of a stone wall from 
both sides of the old drain, the stone being used in the 
construction of the new road. 
Roads and Paths 
Two paths 10 feet wide and about s00 feet long have 
been lined at the entrance from Pelham Avenue and the 
Southern Boulevard, and 400 feet of these paths have been 
paved and prepared for screening. On the western side 
of the Bronx River north of the Linnaeus bridge, 1,600 feet 
of path have been lined ready for paving and a path Io feet 
wide and 400 feet long, running northwest along the road
