THE HAGUE 
Some progress has been made looking toward the filling, 
grading, seeding and improvement of the parkway along Dundaff 
Street, which, when completed, will receive similar treatment as 
to ornamentation, trees, shrubbery, etc., as is to be found across 
The Hague on Mowbray Arch. 
The opening up of Olney Road Extended has now become an 
accomplished fact, and will require close attention in utilizing 
the triangular pieces of ground that are so well adapted to orna- 
mentation and can be made a very attractive part of this im- 
provement. 
Though receiving the approval of the public improvement 
committee, and approved as a very desirable advantage to the 
city by the finance committee, yet on account of the close margin 
of the city to its bonding limit, funds have not been available 
to make the desirable extension of Grace Street from Duke to 
Yarmouth, and the consequent added area to Lee Park. 
Attention is called to the loss that the city is sustaining in 
the delay, even though necessary, of constructing a permanent 
retaining wall around Lee Park, and preventing further washing 
away of its filling with every tide. The temporary bulkhead 
and retaining wall have become so decayed as to be utterly irre- 
parable, and a continuance of this attrition will cost as much to 
replace the soil and elevate the surface of Lee Park as the wall 
itself will cost.
