The road leading from the eastern end of the Long Bridge 

 northward along the Bronx River to the Newell Avenue entrance 

 at the Williamsbridge end of the Garden was completed and 

 thrown open for use in November, a steam road roller being 

 obligingly detailed for its completion by the Hon. Joseph I. Berry, 

 Commissioner of Parks. This portion of the driveway system is a 

 little over 2,000 feet in length and the roadway has been built 25 

 feet wide. It will be possible to broaden it in the future in case 

 this should be found necessary, but it is not expected that it will 

 be used as much as the main 40-foot driveways and it is hoped 

 that the 25-foot width will answer all purposes. Considerable 

 grading of banks has been done from time to time along this 

 road, but much of this work still remains to be accomplished. 

 The road skirts the river north of the Long Bridge for about 700 

 feet and beyond that skirts the eastern side of the north meadows. 

 The opening of this road completes the driveway system of the 

 northern part of the ground. 



The paths through the shrub collection on the plain north of 

 the lakes, and those encircling the lakes, were completed during 

 the autumn, a total length of over a mile of finished path being 

 thus added to the system. Nearly all the grading necessary 

 along the sides of these paths had previously been done. The 



tion with the paths leading to the museum building and to the 

 systematic herbaceous plantation, a total length of nearly 2,000 

 feet, were also completed, as well as the path leading from the 

 herbaceous garden in a southerly direction to the Bronx Park 

 in the woods at the southern boundary of the Garden, a distance 

 of about 800 feet. This work was all made possible by securing 

 a boat load of fine trap rock screenings through the Department 

 of Parks. The same boat load of trap rock screenings furnished
