EEPORT OF ARCHITECT OF UNITED STATES CAPITOL. 7 



BOTANIC GARDEN. 



During' the present year these grounds have been much improved by 

 cutting down the mound over the "Tiber" sewer, and with the earth 

 from the same filling the lawns to the grade required for the walks. 



The heating apparatus, to which two new boilers have been added, 

 has been put in good order for the winter and the necessary painting 

 and reglazing has been done. The concrete walks have been extended . 

 The buildings at the south side of Maryland avenue have been put in a 

 good condition, principally by adding new rafters to the "rose" house 

 and new staging in two of the other houses. Next year it will become 

 necessary to paint the entire conservatory, as much of the iron work is 

 now exposed to the weather.
