the northern part of this road, amounts to 10,528 cubic 
yards; earlier in the season 3,200 yards was hauled to the 
Mosholu Parkway approach, making a total of 13,728 cubic 
yards. 
The surplus stone at the hillside northeast of the conserva- 
tories was quarried early in spring and hauled to the road 
east of the river; we graded and regulated the hill with one 
foot of topsoil and sodded the border of the path. This 
whole area was sown in the autumn. 
The slopes and other places between the roads and paths 
on the fruticetum plain were regulated, sodded and sown, in 
so far as construction work has proceeded. 
Drainage 
Drainage having been almost completed on the improved 
areas, only two catch basins had to be constructed in ad- 
dition to the 121 built previously ; sodded gutters and tem- 
porary surface drainage were provided along the edges of 
the new roads and paths. 
A six-inch drain pipe was laid at the low point of the new 
road and path northwest of the museum building near the 
railroad, connecting catch basins with the upper lake. 
Water Supply 
The six-inch supply line along and parallel with the main 
road north and south was laid from the north end of the lake 
bridge, to the south end of the lake and connected as a part 
of the contract for said bridge; we continued the line from the 
bridge northward, a length of 514 feet. A fire hydrant was 
put in and connected at the high point on this line and con- 
nections made with the one-inch pipe laid under the road 
previously. 
The four-inch pipe connection between the west and east 
water main running parallel with the path north of the con- 
servatories, which it was necessary to take up in order to 
grade said path and slope, was relaid for a length of 450 
feet. 
An addition of 80 feet of one-inch pipe was made to the 
line parallel to the road at the nursery.
