completed. In the north meadows the foundations for paths 
approaching the Upper Bridge were made with surplus rock, 
and minor portions of paths to connect work previously ac- 
complished were built at several points. The total length of 
paths completed during the year is about 2,200 feet. 
Bridges 
The three driveway bridges and the Boulder Bridge for 
pedestrians, built in previous years, have required no repairs, 
and are in good order. 
The bridge planned by the Park Department to replace 
the present wooden foot bridge south of the waterfall near 
the Lorillard Mansion, referred to in my last annual report, 
has not yet been built, although plans for it have been 
approved by the Department, by the Board of Managers of 
the Garden, and by the Municipal Art Commission, and 
an appropriation voted by the Board of Estimate and 
Apportionment two years ago is available for its con- 
struction, which will probably be accomplished during the 
present year. It is necessary that this work should be done, 
owing to the present wooden bridge being altogether too 
small for the visiting crowds in summer and suspicions of its 
safety have been entertained. As planned, the new bridge 
will enable visitors to cross the gorge of the Bronx at amuch 
higher level than the present bridge occupies and thus avoid 
descending a somewhat dangerous slope. 
Water Supply 
No extension of the water supply was made during the 
year, but by means of a city appropriation for construction a 
contract for 2,000 feet of six-inch water main was awarded 
by the Department of Parks in the autumn, and it is expected 
that this order will be filled within a short time, thus enabling 
us to nearly complete the six-inch water main system as 
planned through the western part of the Garden, and it is 
hoped that an additional amount may be obtained during the 
year so as to complete the system east of the Bronx River. 
This six-inch water main, as laid and planned, will ultimately
