buildings, some of which are in progress. 
The Forestry Department had a busy year 
in the matter of spraying and taking care 
of destructive • insects, and completing the 
pruning of the trees of the city. A total 
of 148 streets was primed during the year, 
giving a total of 20,589 trees which have 
been cared for. During the year 2,867 pop- 
lars were removed and were replaced by 
more desirable varities. The report sug- 
gests that public interest in her parks is 
rapidily growing in the city of Buffalo. 
Los Angeles Park Notes. 
A park containing 5,000 acres in a sec- 
tion where fifty-foot lots sell for $1,000 
each is a valuable asset to any city. Such 
is Griffith Park, near Hollywood. This 
magnificent pleasure ground was donated 
to the city of Los Angeles some years ago 
by Colonel Griffith J. Griffith, whose name 
it bears, and the colonel has now supple- 
mented his munificent gift by another of 
$100,000 as a Christmas present, the money 
to be used to build a public observatory on 
Mount Hollywood, the highest point in the 
park. It is hardly necessary to add that 
the City Council unanimously adopted a 
resolution accepting the gift and conveying 
its warmest thanks to the . donor. 
During the last year or two the Park 
Commission has spent a good deal of
