and the grading of Hopson Street has left it in an ugly condition, 
I would suggest to your honorable board that there be funds 
provided to grade and sod this embankment. 
There are also on Clifton Avenue two very abrupt and un- 
sightly banks that should be cut down and surfaced with rich 
loam, as at present they present a very undesirable landscape 
effect, especially along so prominent a thorougfare as Clifton 
Avenue. 
The concerts at Burnet Woods were greatly appreciated by 
thousands of music-loving people during the past summer. The 
proceeds from the investment of the Groesbeck Endowment were 
sufficient to furnish twelve concerts. It was estimated that an 
average of five thousand people were in attendance on each oc- 
casion. The popularity of the musical feature at this park was 
greatly augmented by the high class of music furnished by Kopp's 
Military Band and Smittie's Famous Military Band and Harp 
Orchestra, who, by an arrangement made when contracts were 
awarded, played alternately during the season.
