other pavements have cost seventy-one thousand three 

 hundred and eighteen dollars. 



The Commissioners respectfully refer to the Reports of 

 the Engineer in charge of the work, and his Assistants, 

 for a further and more detailed statement of the several 

 objects of these expenditures, than can well be presented 

 in the limited pages of this Report. The vouchers appli- 

 cable to each item of the account, will be found at the 

 office of the Board, regularly filed and numbered for 

 greater convenience. 



Operations on the Park have steadily progressed since 

 the opening of the Spring, and as many men as could be 

 employed to advantage, have been kept at work. In 

 addition to the Engineering Corps in the service of the 

 Commission, a statement of the laboring force employed, 

 will be found in the annexed report of an Assistant 

 Engineer, from which it will appear that the main part of 

 the force has been employed two hundred and ninety- 

 seven days during this year. The largest number of men 

 working at any one time, was in the month of April, and 

 consisted of thirteen hundred and ninety- two men, while 

 the greatest number during the preceding year was 

 eighteen hundred and forty. 



The results accomplished by this force will better ap- 

 pear from the reports of our Engineers, to which refer- 

 ence has already been made, but in general it may be 

 stated that much of the easterly portion of Prospect Park 

 is now complete, and has, during the latter part of the 

 year, been in constant use by the public ; and that the 

 improvement of the residue of this park, except in the 

 extreme western district, where, for reasons before re- 

 ferred to, nothing has been done, is in a very satisfactory 

 state of progress.
