comparison of the population with twenty of the largest cities, 
of the United States. 
In compiling the above data comparisons are shown which 
are helpful to a great number of people, as well as a saving 
of time for our department, as numerous requests come to 
the office for just such information. This can be answered 
by mailing a copy of the present report to persons wishing 
the information. 
It has been deemed advisable, because of the fact of the 
proposed new park plan having met with the approval of so 
many people, to have a map of the same placed in each copy 
of our report, which will, no doubt, be a source of splendid 
information to a great number of people who receive copies 
of the report annually. Respectfully submitted, 
J. W. RODGERS, 
Superintendent of Parks.
