FOURTH ANNUAL REPORT 



COMMISSIONERS OF PROSPECT PARK. 



To the Common Council of the City of Brooklyn: 



The Board of Commissioners of Prospect Park herewith 

 respectfully submit their Fourth Annual Report : 



During the year 1863 they have performed no active duties 

 connected with the contemplated improvement of the Park 

 grounds, nor could they enter thereupon until after the report 

 of the Commissioners to estimate the value of the lands taken 

 had been finally completed and confirmed by the Supreme 

 Court. 



This report was made in the month of December last, and 

 is now on file in the County Clerk's Office, ready to be pre- 

 sented to the Court for confirmation. As soon as the report 

 shall have been confirmed, the Board will organize in such a 

 manner as to give it greater efficiency ; and the work of laying 

 out and improving the Park will be prosecuted as rapidly as 

 may be consistent with economy, and with such prudent caution 

 as may be deemed 6afe in the adoption of measures and 

 plans. 



No expenses have been incurred by the Commission during 

 the past year, ex*cept for services of Counsel. 



Dated January, 1864. 



J S. T. STRANAHAN, 

 President Board of CoirCrs of Prospect Park. 



R. H. Thompson, 



Secretary.
