THE SMALLER CITY PARKS. 



The smaller Parks in the City of Brooklyn having been placed under 

 the care of the Commission during the year, surveys were made, and 

 topographical maps constructed, as a basis for designs for their im- 

 provement. At Carroll Park, no proper provision had been made for 

 the escape of surface water, which overflowed the walks at every storm. 

 An inlet basin has, therefore, been built at the lowest point of the 

 ground, and connected with the Smith Street sewer. This has been 

 located with reference to a future more complete system of drainage. 



The fence of this Park has been painted, and the gas-lamps, which 

 were unserviceable, have been renewed. The fence of the City Park 

 has been repaired. Nothing in the way of construction has been done 

 at the Washington or City Hall Parks.
