The house on the property under lease from E. W. Kittredge has 
been repaired and is now occupied by the caretaker. The old barn, 
which was falling down, has been removed and a new barn constructed, 
using old material for this purpose. 
A fairly good road has been constructed into what is known as the 
"Smith House." 
Considerable nursery plantings have been made during the past 
fall, consisting of trees and shrubs. 
An eighteen-hole golf course has been laid out on the property, 
but the actual construction has not as yet been commenced. 
The forestry proposition which is to be the dominant feature on 
this property is covered in a special report by Mr. Secrest, and for 
that reason this very important undertaking is omitted in this report. 
MT. ECHO PARK. 
The retaining walls, which are to support the new roadway for 
the entrance into this park, have been completed. The grading of 
the roadway has been finished and the sewer for road drainage is 
now being constructed. Contract has been let for the paving of this 
roadway from Elberon Avenue to the south line of Moulton Avenue. 
This paving will be finished early next year. 
About 750 feet of 1-inch water pipe was laid to supply water for 
the playground near the old Smith House. A drinking fountain and 
hose connections were also established. 
Considerable planting has been done in the park proper, con- 
sisting largely of trees. 
MT. STORM PARK. 
Very little work has been done on this property during the past 
year. 
Additional comfort and toilet facilities were provided. 
The main road has been oiled and placed in good condition. 
Plans have been prepared for the lighting of this road from LaFayette 
Avenue into what was formerly the old Bowler homestead. 
NORTH FAIRMOUNT PLAYGROUND. 
Adjoining the North Fairmount School, on Carll Street. 
The necessary sewer and drains were constructed, and also 718.7 
cubic yards of grading, which covers the property acquired by the 
Board of Park Commissioners, giving this section additional play- 
grounds. 
PARKER'S WOODS. 
During the past year we have installed a drinking fountain on 
top of the knoll at the end of Langdon Avenue.
