Considerable repairs were made to the arbor by the 
carpenters during the year. A drinking fountain was placed 
in the northern end of the Garden. 
In order to replace cracked flags in the steam trench 
under the north path at Bedford Park Boulevard entrance 
it was necessary to make an excavation eight feet wide, 
fourteen feet deep and twenty-five feet long. We also 
replaced four flags in the lawn in front of the Museum 
Building. 
To facilitate spraying of the tallest plants two or more 
times a week a small gasoline engine with pump attached 
was purchased, for Conservatory Range No. 1, which proved 
satisfactory. By running the gasoline engine for two weeks 
five months supply of wood for fuel for the propagating 
houses was cut. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Artuur J. Corset, 
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.
