 are enumerated, with estimated cost of their completion. The 

 principal incompleted area is that which lies between Ninth 

 avenue and the west drive from Third street to Ninth street. 

 This contains about 16 acres. 



In carrying out the design, this will call for about 

 4,000 feet -walks averaging 12 feet in width, or 

 48,000 square feet superficial, estimated to 

 est for grading and superstructure as follows : 



W jtli concrete superstructure walks, 12 feet wide 

 at 16 cents 



Drainage and silt basins 



Grading and surface treatment, including plant 



Branch drive 2,000 feet at £2.00 per lineal foot. .
