Park Engineer's Report 
19 
On a large number of properties not mentioned, no improvements 
" were made, the only work being that of ordinary maintenance. Even 
on the properties covered in this report many of the details have not 
been mentioned owing to the fact that it was deemed best to make 
this report as brief as possible. 
This Department has, through the Head Gardener, Mr. Barclay, 
given considerable aid to the Board of Hospital Commissioners in the 
planning and laying out of their grounds for shrubbery beds and tree 
planting. 
A considerable portion of this planting has already been accom- 
plished. 
It has been our constant endeavor to instill into the minds of all 
the men that we not only wanted, but expected them to deliver $2.00 
worth of work for $2.00, and we hope during the coming year to raise 
our standard of efficiency still higher. 
The reports of the Head Gardener and the Captain of Police 
hereto attached show conclusively that their departments have done 
everything possible and have not spared themselves in their work. 
Respectfully submitted, 
C. H. MEEDS, 
Park Engineer-
