the bridge under construction across the valley of the lakes; to 
finish the driveways under cone ueion in the northern part of 
planned for the Hemlock Grove; to continue the grading work 
at the rear of the museum building; to extend the ieee 
and to provide some needed cases in the library and other rooms 
of the museum building. It may also be possible to ee the 
old wooden bridge at the north end of the Hemlock Grove by a 
permanent stone structure, a saving of several thousand dollars 
in the estimates of the cost of the long bridge having been 
eftected. 
The grading of the grounds immediately behind the museum 
building supplies the earth filling required for the Mosholu Park- 
way approach, for that needed about the lakes, and also the stone 
for the Telford foundations of driveways and paths. As the 
work of development proceeds it seems likely that the original 
calculations that the amount of cutting would supply approxi- 
the amount of filling oe in all parts of the grounds, 
except in the north meadows will come out quite accurately ; 
some surplus is at present indicated, referable to the dirt embank- 
ment built for the temporary construction railroad of the Jerome 
Park Reservoir contractor, which is being used for road filling at 
the east end of the long bridge over the river.
