Paths 
Under the arbor on the west border of the Hemlock Grove, 
a path 6 feet wide and 300 feet long was constructed. A 
branch path Io feet wide and 345 feet long was built through 
the Pinetum from conservatory range no. I to the museum 
building. A path 617 feet long was constructed and partly 
paved from the east entrance of conservatory range no. I 
through the Pinetum to the cross road in front of the museum 
building. 
Running south from the Chestnut Bridge, on the east side 
of the Bronx River, a path 588 feet long is near completion. 
All paths around conservatory range no. 1 and the path 
leading to the Elevated Approach were resurfaced with 
screening. We surfaced and screened 1,580 feet of path on 
the east side of the new road at the east side of the grounds, 
and spread 230 feet of trap rock on the lower end of this road.

the roofs of power house no. 1, the stable, and the museum 
building. The leaders of the museum building also were 
repaired. ‘The rear and parts of side walls in the library and 
four window panels in the cryptogamic laboratory were re-

In addition to repairs in and around grounds and buildings, 
the carpenters have constructed a closet and two sets of 
shelving in the publication room, 14 feet wide and 16 feet 
long, a closet for the storeroom, and another for power house
