system of having employees guard the herbaceous grounds 

 and fruticetum until a late hour, very little damage has 

 been done. 



According to records kept by Elevated Railway em- 

 ployees, 36,000 visitors passed over the Elevated Approach 

 on Sunday, July 10, which was the maximum number 

 recorded for the year. 



The recently constructed iron fence along the south 

 boundary line of the grounds has been painted and all the 

 low iron-pipe fences have received one coat of paint. 



The catch-basins, drains, swamps, lakes, and ponds 

 have been regularly inspected, cleaned, and treated with 

 kerosene for mosquitoes and copper sulphate for algae 

 when it became necessary. 



Respectfully submitted, 



F. A. Schilling, 

 Superintendent of Grounds.
