BECONSTRUCTION. 



In making provision for reconstruction work it is proper to 

 consider the superficial character of the re-surfacing of our 

 drives during the last three years ; by 1887 it will be necessary 

 to renew a large part of the surfaces of our drives lately re- 

 paired. Provision will therefore be desirable to be made for 

 re-surfacing, during the next two years, about three miles of 

 drive estimated to cost $1 .50 per lineal foot 



There is out of repair and necessary to be done at this time por- 

 tions of the west drive between the Plaza and Lookout Hill, 

 running parallel with Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street, 

 about 6, 000 feet of roadway . In addition to the work of re- 

 surfacing the roadway it will be necessary to regrade portions 

 of it over a length of abotlt 1,100 feet. A portion of the drain- 

 age and water service will probably require some readjustment 

 in connection with this part of the work. 



This regrading and roadwork combined will cost 



Beidle Eoads. 



There are to be repaired a little over three miles of bridle roads ; 

 these require to be all cleaned of the stones which have worked 

 up to the surface, and some general regrading. There could 

 properly be expended on this work about 



Walks . 



There are eight miles of walks averaging 14 feet in width, not 

 including walks contemplated but not built. Of these walks 

 the following is their condition : Bad asphalt, 26,010 lineal 

 feet ; passable asphalt. 10,800 lineal feet ; gravel bad and de- 

 sirable to be re-surfaced with asphalt, 2,490 lineal feet ; gravel 

 passable, 3,000 lineal feet. There are about 27,000 lineal feet 

 of bad asphalt walks. This is equal to 378,000 superficial feet, 

 at 12 cents per foot 



There are about 3,000 lineal feet of gravel walk which should be 

 concreted. There are 42,000 superficial feet at 15 cents per 

 foot
