Construction of Roads 



The approach to conservatory range no. 2, having been 

 partly broken up by coal trucks, has been rescreened and 

 rolled and is now in good condition. 



A portion of the unfinished road extending to the south- 

 eastern corner of the Garden was partly paved, covered 

 with trap rock, coated with screenings, and rolled in the 

 spring; work on that driveway was resumed in December 

 and is now progressing. 



The low protection wall constructed of boulders along 

 thebankof theriver on the river road has been extended 150 

 feet. 



The main driveways were covered with screenings in No- 

 vember by the Department of Parks.

The drainage in connection with regulating and grading 

 on the new improved grounds was carried out systematically. 



We have constructed seven catch-basins and laid eighty- 

 seven feet of drain tile, sixteen feet of three-inch, 300 feet 

 of six-inch and fourteen feet of twenty-four-inch sewer pipe 

 and constructed two culverts under paths. 



About 3,000 feet of edging has been done along driveways,
