10 REPORT OF THE 



expended for four blocks of land, bounded by Fifth and 

 Seventh Avenues and 41st and 43d Streets (about 15 acres), 

 to be known as Sunset Park. 



The report for the year 1891 has been unavoidably delayed. 



There were several circumstances contributed to retard 

 it. The former Secretary, Robert Courtney, and the Chief 

 Clerk and Paymaster, Charles F. Moore, were each taken 

 ill, and after a long and painful sickness, both died. They 

 being the principal clerical force, it was impossible for the 

 Department to do more than the necessary daily work. 



As soon as the new officers became acquainted with their 

 respective duties, they have been engaged all their spare 

 time in preparing the reports for 1891 and 1892. 



Very Respectfully, 



GEORGE V. BROWER, 



President.
