The main walk leading to the dairy has been finished, and the 

 system of walks in that neighborhood has been graded, and will be 

 ready for completion in the spring. Numerous stone steps have 

 been set in the different walks, also one carriage landing-step. 



The walks between the carriage concourse, east of the lake, and 

 the entrance from Franklin avenue, have been finished. The walks 

 on the lake peninsula have been sub-graded. 



Franklin avenue has been graded, the curb and gutter set, and 

 the street opened for use from the eastern boundary of the parade 

 ground to Flatbush avenue. 



The entrance drive at the southeasterly angle of the park has 

 been finished. 



The Ambergill Brook has been finished to its connection with 

 the large pools. 



The slopes of these pools have been formed and shaped. The 

 peat has been removed from them and piled for future use. A dam 

 and waterfall has been built between the two pools, and one com- 

 menced at the head of the upper pool. 



A large amount of excavation has been made for the main lake. 

 About eight and three-quarter acres of additional lake surface has 

 been puddled and finished. A dam has been built in connection 

 with this work, and the area of finished water surface increased to 

 about twenty-three acres. 



Tile drainage has been put in near the Third street entrance, and 

 some stone drainage in a portion of the West Woods. A fifteen- 

 inch main sewer has been extended to the lower pool. A sewer 

 connection has been made between the dairy and the stable. The 

 basins and pipes have been put in for the drainage of the walks con- 

 structed during the year. 



Early in the spring a system of perforated pipes was laid in the 

 sand, between the outer and inner curbs of the well, for the purpose 

 of obtaining a more rapid flow of water. The result has been quite 

 favorable, increasing the supply to the pumping-engine. 



The boiler house at the well has been finished. The interior 

 walls of the well have been pointed. The reservoir on the summit 

 of Lookout Hill has been constructed, and is nearly complete. 



The inclosing walls, and the bottom of this reservoir, are formed 

 entirely of concrete. The roof is of brick arches, sprung from 

 piers and counter-arches. It is intended to use the roof as a con- 

 course for pedestrians. The capacity of the reservoir is 750,000 

 gallons. 



The ground adjacent to the Third street entrance has been shaped
