From the section of the Park-way between Washington avenue 

 and the Plaza, the top-soil has been removed by the Park force. 

 Grading was commenced at the Plaza in January, by two contracters, 

 but proceeded slowly, and has been completely suspended since the 

 middle of September. In June, a contract to grade a portion of the 

 Park-way(commencing at Washington avenue) and to fill the low 

 ground within the limits of the east side-lands, and contiguous to the 

 Park-way, was awarded to Daniel O'Brien. He commenced work 

 immediately, and is carrying on operations with dispatch.
