MT. STORM PARK 
This property is in such excellent condition that it has so 
far required merely the cutting of grass and keeping the surface 
clean. A slight widening of the roadway at the residence build- 
ing, thereby better accommodating the vehicle driving at the 
point, has been made, adding materially to the facility for driv- 
ing through this property. 
MOHAWK PLAYGROUND 
Along the canal at Mohawk and Central Avenue, the play- 
ground property was graded and made available for children's 
use, without apparatus, and a new sidewalk placed along the 
street line. 
On most of playground surfaces the experimental use of 
tan-bark has so far proven extremely satisfactory and will un- 
doubtedly lead to the use of this material on all playground 
surfaces. 
SYCAMORE STREET PLAYGROUND 
The shelter building was completed in course of early spring, 
and the whole property has been in excellent use throughout the 
summer. 
WESTWOOD TOWN HALL LOT 
An effective improvement was made on this property by 
changing and correcting the slopes on the border of the grounds 
and considerable planting of trees, shrubs and flowers. 
NURSERY 
The rapid use of the trees and shrubs available in our nur- 
sery, suggests the necessity for a permanent nursery. It un- 
questionably is of very great service in obtaining our planting 
material in this way, rather than purchasing from the commer- 
cial nurseries for current use. The Department's Forestry Ser- 
vice is working on a number of the larger properties, growing 
trees that will permanently supply the needs of all the parks, as 
well as avenue trees necessary in time on boulevards and park- 
ways. A most excellent progress has been made by the Forestry
