of the economic garden, a distance of 573 feet, with nine hose 
taps 40 feet apart, protected from frost by concrete boxes 
with cast-iron covers. 
A six-inch main was connected 130 feet north of the lake 
bridge and carried between the road and path across the long 
bridge to the plaza near the stable, a distance of 1,536 feet. 
From this point northward a four-inch pipe was laid to the 
site of the new conservatories, a distance of 924 feet. The 
sections of pipe used on the Long Bridge, about 350 feet in 
total length, required a special covering to protect them from 
frost; the remainder were laid three or four feet below the 
surface of the ground. A fire hydrant was attached to the 
four-inch pipe. 
The one-inch pipe near the railway station was extended 
temporarily to the Mosholu Parkway approach. The two- 
inch water pipe laid under the river three years ago having 
been exposed by the construction of the Boulder Bridge, it 
was lowered three feet below the water line to protect it from 
frost. 
Drainage 
As early in the season as the weather permitted the drainage 
to the Fordham University grounds at the low point about 200 
feet west of the south gate was connected by 45 feet of pipe 
to a main sewer constructed previously by the city up to the 
boundary line of the Garden. A catch basin was built and 
connected, and the grade raised along the border fence suffi- 
ciently to protect the university grounds against surface 
drainage from the Garden. 
The overflow of the large fountain in front of the museum 
building was connected in April with the drainage into the 
upper lake, 396 feet of eight-inch pipe being laid for this 
connection. 
The cellar under the lecture hall of the museum building 
was drained by laying 20 feet of six-inch pipe connecting 
with the eight-inch drain. 
Three catch basins were constructed, one west of the Long 
Bridge and two at the northern end of the economic garden.
