 County of Kings, > ss. : 

 Citv of Brooklyn. ) 



On the 1 8th day of July, 1895, before me came Willis Brower, 

 with whom I am personally acquainted, who, being by me duly 

 sworn, says that he resides at No. 356 Sixteenth street, in the city 

 of Brooklyn, and is the Secretary of the Coney Island and Brooklyn 

 Railroad Company above named; that he knows the corporate 

 seal of said company ; that the seal affixed to above instrument 

 is such corporate seal ; that it was affixed by order of the Board 

 of Directors of said company, and that he signed his name 

 thereto as Secretary by the like authority and direction. 



(Signed) LUKE O'TOOLE, 



Commissioner of Deeds, 



City of Brooklyn. 



This document was filed by the Department of Parks in the 

 Office of the Secretary of State, and in the office of the County 

 Clerk of Kings County. 



The City Works Department is now building a water main 

 along Fort Hamilton avenue, and upon the completion of this 

 work steps will be taken by the Park Department for the per- 

 manent improvement of this avenue. 



THE EASTERN PARKWAY. 



The Eastern Parkway has been re-graveled, a number of addi- 

 tional trees planted and one of the sidewalks so arranged that it 

 can be used by ladies when riding bicycles, thus providing them a 

 way of keeping out of danger on the steep grades of the driveway. 



< >n January 10 a map for the extension and improvement of 

 the Eastern Parkway, from its present terminus to Ridgewood 

 Park, together with a map providing for the widening of Buffalo 

 avenue from [".astern Parkway to East New York avenue, was 

 approved l>y me and filed with the County Clerk, the Register 

 and the Commissioner of the Department of City Works. A 

 district of assessment was laid out and forwarded to the Board of 

 Assessors. This action was nullified by the Legislature, which 

 took the work of extension out of the hands of the City and gave 

 it to the County, as will appear later on.
