FORCES. 



During the most active period of operations the aggregate force of 

 teams, carts, and laborers amounted to between twelve and thirteen 

 hundred, although the daily average of the year was less than nine 

 hundred. We have had no difficulty, during the working season, in 

 maintaining the force to such numbers as desired, numerous applica- 

 tions being made throughout the year for work on the park by a 

 very fair class of men. Our foremen were all old employees, 

 thoroughly experienced in the work required of them, and discharged 

 their duties with efficiency.
