the Long Bridge and along the low grounds adjoining the 

 river, has been filled to grade, mostly with ashes, paved 

 and completed, and opened to the public. 



New work was laid out after the fill was completed south 

 of the cross path leading to the chestnut bridge, and east 

 of the river road along the retaining wall of the Bronx 

 Boulevard. About 700 feet of new paths were graded 

 and partly paved in this vicinity. Also 350 feet in the 

 woods east of the economic garden and 100 feet east of 

 the herbaceous grounds were completely constructed. The 

 paths at the eastern entrance (Bleecker Street), measuring 

 about 700 feet, have been paved but not surfaced with 

 screenings. Many of the existing paths have been re- 

 surfaced and rolled.

 Extension of Water Supply 

 The six-inch main laid previously to a point about 250 

 feet north of the Lake Bridge and west of the main drive- 

 way through the Fruticetum has been extended to the 

 north end of the Garden, and thence along the river road 

 to the plaza east of the Long Bridge, where it was connected 

 with the six-inch line supplying the buildings and grounds 

 east of the Bronx River. This required 3,900 line feet of 

 pipe and 43 hose-taps. The work was begun in February 

 and completed in June. A branch line 348 feet in length 

 was later constructed parallel with the new road near the
