There were two hundred and ninety-seven days, during which the 

 main part of the force was employed. The largest number of men 

 employed at any one time was in the month of April, viz. : 1,392 as 

 against 1,840 for the preceding year. 



The statements of force are made up from observations of the 

 actual number of men at work daily, throughout the year on the 

 park. 



The improvement of Washington Park was begun June 1st, 

 1868, with a force consisting of two gangs. About the 1st of 

 August another gang was added, and work continued thus till the 

 close of the season, giving employment to an average of 120 men. 

 There were 175 working days from June 1st to December 31st. 



ORGANIZATION. 



The form of organization remains as previously roported. 

 Changes are of frequent occurence, consequent upon the develop- 

 ment of incapacity to discharge the duties required, on the part of 

 men who have sought employment either as foremen, assistants or 

 laborers. It has been made the duty of Engineers of Division and 

 the general foremen to establish, wherever classes of work admit of 

 it, standards for comparing day's works, with the view to derive the 

 largest amount of labor from men receiving a given amount of 

 wages, and the standards thus established have resulted profitably. 

 The force of stone-cutters, masons, bricklayers, carpenters and black- 

 smiths was largely augmented, in consequence of the development 

 and progress of archways, and other constructions requiring me- 

 chanics' labor.
