water. The park acreage created is 
423.6 acres or one acre for every 1,152 
people. A separate financial report 
accompanying this book shows a 
total expenditure for the five years of 
$1,657,472, and an expenditure for the 
fiscal year ended November 30, 1908,' 
of $295,037. Daniel W. Langton is 
landscape architect of the system and 
Walter G. Muirhead secretary. The 
offices of the commission are in Jer- 
sey City. 
The report of Superintendent J. W. 
Rodgers of the park system of Cin- 
cinnati, O., tells of substantial im- 
provements in Eden Park, where the 
early part of the year was spent in 
re-surfacing the drives and walks, 
which were afterward treated with ati 
oil emulsion consisting of the follow- 
ing mixture: 100 gallons Ragland 
District crude oil; 50 gallons water; 
25 pounds soap. The soap and water 
are boiled vigorously for thirty min- 
utes, when the oil is turned into the 
mixture, and boiled until the whole 
has thoroughly coalesced. It is then 
used as a base, taking ten per cent 
of the mixture to 500 gallons of 
water and applying it to the surface 
of the road with an ordinary sprink- 
ling cart. The entire surface of Eden 
Park was sown with a special mixture 
of grass seed, the formula of which 
is as follows: Five pounds bluegrass; 
five pounds red top; three pounds 
perennial rye, and one pound white 
clover. About 380 palms in variety 
were added to the green house. The 
poor are allowed to sleep in Wash- 
ington Park in the summer and some 
7,305 persons took advantage of this 
privilege in July.
