the consideration of such problems as those we have adverted to 

 can only come before your commission in an indirect and incidental 

 way, we have thought it best to lay the results of our study thus 

 fully before you, because during the investigations and consultations 

 of the past year it has become more and more evident that the early 

 adoption of some such scheme as the " Parkway would have the 

 effect of adding very greatly to the advantages which your commis- 

 sion is endeavoring to secure to the citizens of Brooklyn in the con- 

 struction of the park. 



Respectfully, 



OLMSTED, VAUX & CO., 

 Landscape Architects and Superintendents. 



Brooklyn, January 1st, 1868.
