10 REPORT OF THE DEPARTMENT OF PARKS. 



It has been the aim of this Department to develop and 

 retain every natural -feature in the many small parks in our 

 city, and the result is that there is no sameness about them, 

 and when they are completed according to their several plans, 

 no city in the country will have a greater variety of parks, or 

 more attractive ones, than Brooklyn. It has also been the 

 aim ot this Department to study Park systems in other cities, 

 and if we are not in advance, all candid minds must admit 

 that we are fully abreast with them. 



All the improvements made in the various Parks will be 

 found in the following report of the General Superintendent. 



Respectfully submitted, 



GEORGE Y. BROWER, 



Commissioner.
