DEPARTMENT OF PARKS. 



77 



Gillen place to Jamaica avenue and Pennsylvania avenue, through- 

 out its entire length and to Jamaica bay ; Rockaway Parkway, 

 from its intersection with Buffalo avenue, in said city, to the road 

 to Flatlands, and the road to Flatlands to Jamaica bay, in the 

 town of Flatlands, in the county of Kings. 



The control of these streets and avenues and parkways was 

 not desired by me, as most of them are in a frightful condition, 

 owing to the recent sewer improvements that have been made, 

 requiring in some places a fill of sixteen feet to bring them to 

 grade. To remedy these defects as far as possible, I have called 

 for an issue of bonds in the sum of three hundred and fifty 

 thousand dollars.
