Caliiqltn-Street Extension of Burnet Woods — The 
contract for grading the Calhoun-street end of Burnet Woods 
has been completed in so far as tlie rougher work is concerned. 
There has been a plan prepared in the office whereby a 
much greater use can be made of this property by beginning 
at the curb and making a gradual slope northwardly to the 
ravine, using the material that is taken from the Calhoun- 
street addition to fill the above-named ravine, thus bringing 
about a splendid landscape effect and making of this property 
a very useful part of Burnet Woods. The roadway it is 
proposed to build here will make a very convenient city en- 
trance to Burnet Woods, encircling the slopes south and east 
of the University buildings, thereby giving the public a greater 
use of that portion of Burnet \\'oods, especially for driving 
purposes. 
This plan, however, will necessitate the acquisition of two 
additional pieces of property just east of the present boundary 
of Calhoun-street extension, and I would reconimend to your 
honorable board that steps be taken towards acquiring this 
immediately. 
LuDLQw-AvENUE Triangle — This property has just re- 
cently been acquired, and at the earliest possible date arrange- 
ments will be started looking towards the removal of the 
buildings. 
The corner acquired by this Ludlow-avenue purchase, be- 
ing in close proximity to Clifton, would be an admirable place 
for an entrance. A very elaborate entrance could be built at 
this place and extended up through the ravine, connecting up 
with the main driveway near the band-stand. This would 
make one of the prettiest drives in Burnet Woods, and no 
doubt the most popular, as it would give an opportunity to 
persons driving from Clifton to the city to traverse the entire 
length of Burnet Woods by way of park drives. 
The grading, sodding and planting done here will all be 
in conformity with the forest conditions prevailing in Burnet 
Woods.

land known as the ''Hubbard Tract," extending from Warsaw
