about 450 feet in length, on the ridge east of the museum 
building, connecting with the morphological garden, the eco- 
nomic garden, and the hemlock grove. The total length of 
the paths completed and opened to the public in 1907 is 9,275 
feet; much of the work of construction, however, was done 
during the previous year. 
New paths now under construction extend along both sides 
of the driveway in the north meadows from the Woodlawn 
Road approach to Newell Avenue bridge, and on the north 
side of the road between the Long Bridge and the plaza near 
the stable. This latter path, about 1,000 feet in length, has 
been graded, partly paved, and filled in for some distance 
with soft rock. 
The sidewalks of the lake bridge have been concreted and 
surfaced with cement. The walks in front of the museum 
building have been repaired where necessary. The principal 
paths about the public conservatories have been resurfaced 
with screenings and rolled. 
Regulating and Grading 
Two areas adjoining the Mosholu bridge approach, one to 
the north measuring 250 by 400 feet and one to the east meas- 
uring 200 by 400 feet, were covered with top-soil to grade and 
sown as early in the spring as the weather permitted. 
The shores of the middle lake and the banks bordering the 
road between the Long Bridge and the plaza to the east have 
been graded and sodded. Considerable filling was required 
near the bridges and along the line of the water-main, 700 
cart loads of which was obtained from the road under con- 
struction leading to the new conservatories. 
The grading at the economic garden was completed early 
in the spring, and in the autumn the banks of the brook flow- 
ing through the herbaceous grounds were built up with stone 
retaining walls and regraded, and the overflows reconstructed. 
Water Supply 
The one-inch water line in the herbaceous grounds and 
morphological garden has been extended to the northern end
