To the Honorable the Common Council of the City of Brooklyn : GENTLEMEN : Owing to the small amount of money placed at their disposal for all purposes, the Park Commissioners have been restricted - in their operations during the past year (with the exception of yery little special work) to the ordinary maintenance of the sev- eral parks of the city, and the outlyme parkways and other improvements under their charge. With this Report, there will be found appended a statement of receipts and expenditures for the year, together with such statistics of work accomplished, force employed, &c., as are usually submitted for the consideration of Your Honorable Body. A leading feature of work, during the year, was the re- pairs made to the concreted walks of the Park, which the Commis- sioners were enabled to do by your aid and that of the Legisla- ture. This work comprises, in part, the resurfacing and repairing with bituminous concrete, of such portions of the principal walks as were most needed, and which were calculated to contribute more largely to the convenience of visitors. Over four thou- 4 REPORT OF THE sand lineal feet of walk were so repaired ; this was done under contract with Mr. Thomas McCann, at such reasonable cost as to occasion regret that the Commissioners were unable to con- tinue the work upon other portions of the Park where similar renewals of the surfaces of walks much used by the public, were desirable. . The prices paid by the Commissioners for this work were as follows: For the repair of holes and broken surfaces, three cents per square foot, superficial ; for resurfacing, three and one-half cents per square foot, superficial. The appheation of the material varied in thickness, from one to five inches, according to the condition of the surface to be worked over. The material used consisted of an artificially prepared bitumen, the residuum of coal used in the manufac- ture of gas, and now comprising a common article of commerce, mixed with selected gravel, which the Contractor was permitted to use from that found upon the Park. These ingredients make up a desirable and economical substitute for the more expen- sive concretes, of which asphalt and specially selected gravels form the component parts. The surfaces repaired during the past summer, have been in general use for five months, and give promise of durability. Many of the walks of the Park, with a superstructure similar in character, have been in use for ten years and over and have required little or no expenditure for maintenance. For’a surface for roads and walks, with good foundations, where considerable and frequent change of grade occur, it furnishes an economical superstructure, being durable and requiring but little expenditure for cleaning and repairs. During the summer, portions of the, roadways which are considerably used as thoroughfares for pleasure riding and driving, were rendered more convenient for passage at night, by the aid of lamps, which were placed along their line at suitable intervals. The lamp used is of special construction, and is BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 5 known as the Automatic lamp. The illumination is produced by a brilliant gas, the product of a volume of naphtha contained in a reservoir attached to the lamp itself, and which is gener- ated by a simple and ingenious process. The use of certain portions of our Park drives is exceptional, particularly in summer and early fall, m view of the fact that they form a direct and very desirable communication by way of the Ocean Parkway with Coney Island, and are very largely used for that purpose. The Commissioners, therefore, taking a practical view of the subject, have felt warranted in lighting the roadways at night to the extent described, while they do not approve the general proposition which has from time to time received some public advocacy, of lighting up large parks at night. So far, the lamps have served a useful purpose, and may be continued in use. GENERAL MAINTENANCE. The appropriations for all purposes for the past year, were in no sense liberal, or even sufficient for the necessities of the parks, &¢., and the Commission was in consequence limited to a most superficial treatment of all branches of work. For the coming year the appropriation has been still further reduced to an amount smaller than ever before. It will be utterly in- adequate, even with the exercise of the strict economy and fru- gality which has marked the administration of the Commission, to secure to the public the comfortable enjoyment of all parts of the Park, or to arrest, in any material degree, the general or unavoidable excessive deterioration to which some of the most important portions and structures are needlessly subjected, £ the want of reasonable appropriations. The comparatively mild and variable weather which charac- terized the earlier months of the year, with frequent alterna- tions of frost and thaw, entailed disproportionate additional labor in attention to road surfaces, drainage, &c., and during the remainder of the year the force was employed upon various portions of the Park in such work as grew out of its use and 6 REPORT OF THE wear, or was made necessary by the exigencies of the season. A very small portion of the roads was resurfaced with gravel from the park pits, work which was of a comparatively tempo- rary serviceableness. Many portions of the roads continue from necessity in an unsatisfactory condition, being rough and un- even, and to which a very considerable application of gravel will be necessary to restore them to their original condition. The very large areas of turf have been kept in order, as it is proper that they should be, as ornamental features of the land- scape, and for such general use by the public as it has been the pleasure and policy of this Commission to encourage. The drainage system is both an extensive and important feature of the Park construction, and entails a considerable expenditure for its necessary care. The great advantage resulting from the Park Water Service, which is separate and distinct from that of the city, was specially demonstrated during the serious and _ protracted drought during the year. Had the Park, Parkway and Coney Island been dependent upon the city for a supply-during the past season, there would have, without doubt, resulted great damage to the turf, shrubbery and roads of the Park, and the public would have been denied many conveniences which have been afforded by the liberal supply of water furnished by the Park well. The system of pipes, hydrants, stopcocks, &c., &e., which have been in continuous operation for a number of years, needs extensive modification and repair in order to meet the increased and growing demands. ‘The service itself has, mdi- rectly, substantially aided the Commission in its economical administration, and justifies the expenditure it will be necessary to make upon it from time to time. Our roads, walks and structures suffer, and have suffered for several seasons, from this compulsory neglect, due to the very meagre appropriations of money for General Park Maintenance. Many of the large turfed areas require refertilization. ‘The condition of our plantations is a critical one. We speak with BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. ¢ understanding on this subject, and we have no means of parry- ing the censure to which the Park has been subjected in the public press, except through the medium of this report. These plantations, as we have before said, are complex in their variety, and very valuable. A very moderate allowance of money would enable us to restore harmony to this essential feature of the Park embellishment, and at the same time permit us to make use of many valuable plants, now not needed in their present position, for the ornamentation of unfinished erounds elsewhere about the Park. A choice collection of evergreen and deciduous plants could thus be saved, which must otherwise be totally destroyed. PUBLIC USE OF THE PARK. — The use of the Park, by our-citizens, has been more general than the preceding year, there has been a noticeable increase in the use of the roads for pleasure riding, both in carriages and on horseback. The meadows, which shared the common suffering from drought in the early months of summer, recovered rapidly under the refreshing rains in July and August, and proved specially attractive to a large number of visitors who preferred the grass and the freedom, which its breadth afforded, to the greater restriction of the more retired walks. Popular participation in the various games which are per- mitted, and for which our turfed areas are so admirably fitted —such as croquet, lawn tennis, archery, &c., added picturesque- ness and spirit to the attractions of the Park. Nowhere else, apparently, do these innocent and healthful pastimes find so many and so faithful devotees than in Brook- lyn. Archery—the art of shooting with bow and arrow—in ruder times forming a principal means of defence and attack, but, in later centuries, much in vogue as a pastime for both sexes, has been recently revived, and its practice during the past three r four years has found special encouragement upon the Park. 8 REPORT OF THE This mode of recreation offers many opportunities for robust exercise and the practice of considerable skill, and is well eal- culated to become popular with both sexes, young and old. Among the most prominent organizations which have been afforded facilities on the Park is the Brooklyn Archery Club, composed of many of our own well-known citizens. The special fitness of the Park grounds for archery purposes has already attracted the attention of the leading organizations of the country, who have officially expressed desire to hold their National Tournament for 1881 in this city next July. PICNICS. Throughout the summer and fall months, picnic parties have made constant use of the West woods. The care of these grounds and the provision of such facilities as grow out of their use for picnic purposes, such as supplying water, tables, seats, swings, &c., In special localities, together with the necessary police surveillance and attendance without charge, have necessitated an expenditure not ordinarily appreciated by the public or apparently regarded with favor by the au- thorities ; but the enjoyment and benefit derived from such expenditure has long commended themselves to the judgment of the Commission, who are fully committed to the policy of liberally maintaining the grounds for this almost unique use. The annual parade of children, which was participated in by a considerable number of Sunday-school organizations of this city, took place upon the Park in May last, in honor of Anni- versary Day, which is justly regarded with great imterest and pleasure by our citizens, young and old. CONCERTS. Although the Board of Estimate declined to make provision for concerts on the Park, the Commissioners, in response to a general public expectancy, diverted with some inconvenience to the general work, a sum sufficient to meet the expenses of ten concerts, the first of which took place on the 5th of July and the last on the 4th of September. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 9 The month of June, during which it has been the custom heretofore to provide concerts, was omitted for obvious reasons. The music was under the direction of Mr. L. Conterno, of this city, who furnished at moderate cost, a band of over thirty musicians ; the attendance was exceptionally large, and the music which was of a varied and entertaining character, and of the first order, gave great satisfaction to the public. The Com- missioners entertain the belief that few expenditures of the public money, more directly benefit all classes of the com- munity, or provoke less adverse criticism, than a moderate out- lay for concerts on the Park. No entertainment can be provided more consistently at public expense for those who from taste or necessity, prefer our public parks, to the more expensive and not always preferable places of public resort, in summer. The generally mild and varied character of the winter in the early part of the year, prevented the forming of ice upon the Park lakes, of sufficient strength to justify its use for skating purposes at any time, although the Commission made ample provision in the way of fitting up the buildings, &c., for the public. The absence of skating throughout the season of 1879 and 1880 is an unprecedented fact in the history of the Park. The weather during the month of December has been more propitious. The lakes of the Park were frozen over at an un- usually early period of the year, affording opportunities for skating during the holidays and for a week preceding Christ- mas. Several falls of snow already, have enabled our citizens to enjoy a pleasant season of sleigh riding, and there is promise of protracted cold weather, during which, it is believed, there will be exceptional opportunities for enjoying the varied winter sports, notably, sleighing, skating and coasting, which the Park and parkways are so admirably fitted to supply. The boating, carriage and restaurant services, together with other means provided for public entertainment, have been ample in their provisions, to meet the demand, but the patron- age was not large, in view of the greater attractions of Coney Island and other adjacent resorts. 2 10 REPORT OF THE | The Commissioners continue to be more strongly impressed in each recurring year, with the great value of the Park as a sanitary and moral force, affording health, instruction, pleasure and contentment to thousands, not to our adult population alone, but those who are growing up to take their places. The thoughtful observer can hardly fail to be impressed with the fact that the Park, maintained with wise economy, and sufficiently provided with means to keep it from shabbiness of appearance, and its resources fully developed, exercises all the beneficent and differing influences we have noted. It is a wholesale purveyor of healthful recreation at no cost to the individual,—it enlists his sympathies and interest in the public welfare ; it gives him a greater respect for his own citizenship, and elevates the entire plane of public morality considered in its broadest sense; it gives welcome to the poorest, and, to those more favored by fortune, it is a resort full of attractions. Its facilities for pleasure and recreation in riding, driving, walking, boating, skating, for field sports, picuies, &e., each in their season, are unrivalled in this country. Already its fame and beauty have been potent influences to bring and hold many good citizens to Brooklyn, and with prospective and en- larged conveniences for transit between our suburbs and New York, the Park will exert a greater force in the future. FORCE. The force employed for all purposes upon the parks of the city, the parkways, Bedford Avenue and Coney Island, is not large, and is made up of experienced men, whose term of service varies from three to fifteen years; they are industrious and reliable, and their knowledge of the character and variety of the work ensures to the park a useful and faithful service. The rates of compensation in every branch of labor continues to be more moderate than are paid? to any similar class of em- ployés upon any public work in either city. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 1a SMALL PARKS. WASHINGTON PARK, OR FORT GREENE. Our means have not been sutticient to enable us to carry out an efficient system of maintenance in this most important of the small Parks. Fort Greene covers a considerable area, has many attractions, and is admirably adapted to the needs of the large and respectable neighborhood for which it forms a con- yenient centre. This work, in common with Prospect Park, has suffered materially from the effect of the too meagre pro- yisions made for its care by Your Honorable Body. A much needed improvement, consisting of a building for the use of women and children, will be erected next year, the money having been provided by the Board of Estimate. A considerable expenditure is desirable for the purpose of readjusting the plantations and to restore fertility to many por- tions of the turf which has been very liberally used by our citizens in the vicinity, for croquet playing, «ce. CARROLL PARK. The sum of $1,450 was expended upon this Park in restoring surfaces of the concreted walks. Two thousand lineal feet of walks, averaging twelve feet in width, were resurfaced in a satis- factory manner, and at a very reasonable cost, by Thomas McCann, of this city. TOMPKINS PARK. This small Park has been kept in order and continues to be a favorite resort by the residents of the neighborhood. On the 5th of July, appropriate ceremonies in honor of American Independence were hefd under the auspices of an organization of citizens of the neighborhood and a Committee of Your Honorable Body. The exercises consisted of addresses and music and an oration by Mr. Andrew McLean, of this city. 12 REPORT OF THE CITY PARK. City Park continues to be mainly used as a thoroughfare, . and is too often a resort for idle people, whose habits fre- quently justify and require police supervision and interference. The Commission still entertain the belief that the welfare of the city and the general convenience of the community would _be best served by such action on the part of the authorities as will lead to the transformation of this considerable area, now no longer needed, or adequately used as a Park, into a public market. The- products of the farm and other articles of commerce, which form part of the domestic necessities of every-day life, would find a large and ready sale in our own city and indirectly contribute to the well-being of many of our own citizens; in- stead of which a large volume of products daily passes through our city to New York, from which we derive no benefit, and which, in part, returns to Brooklyn in a less healthful condition, to be purchased at advanced prices. We beg leave to urge you to a serious consideration of this suggestion. EAST SIDE LANDS. It was found desirable to make some provision for the dis- posal of surface water which gathered in large quantity after storms, on a portion of these lands below the grade of Flatbush and Washington avenues. To avoid publie complaint, an out- let was provided for the water and a simple system of drain- age constructed, with a view as well, to a permanent benefit to the lands themselves ; this was accomplished during the past season at a small cost. No other expenses have been incurred, beyond that of the necessary police surveillance. With regard to the sale of a portion of these lands, the Commissioners, after a careful consideration of the subject, feel justified in suspending for the present, the efforts in that diréttion, the purpose of which was to arrange, if possible, a sale this fall. In confirma- tion of their own judgment, they have sought the advice of responsible parties, and as a result it is generally agreed that BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. _13 the condition of the real estate market is such as searcely to warrant the attempt to sell at this time, nor is it desirable or necessary to make a needless sacrifice of any portion of this _yaluable property. The undoubted increase in the business activities of the country will ultimately affect our own neighborhood. and the attention of capitalists and others having money to invest will be attracted to this property, which, purchased at reasonable prices, cannot fail to prove a desirable investment. Under the circumstances, the Commission are encouraged to wait a more favorable time to put this land upon the market. If sold at present, it must unquestionably be sold for less than its reason- able value, the effect of which will be to deprive the city of a con- siderable revenue, and at the same time seriously affect the standard of value of a large amount of unimproved property in the vicinity of the Park. The Commission feel confident that an early opportunity will be afforded them of selling a portion of these Lands. EASTERN PARKWAY. The Eastern Parkway is in great need of a general renewal of the superstructure of the roadways. The fitful and con- tinuously niggardly maintenance to which it has been subjected, the result of insufficient means, has resulted in excessive de- terioration ; portions of this roadway are much used, in con- nection with Bedford Avenue and the Park. True economy clearly demands that greater liberality should be exercised in the care of this important thoroughfare. BEDFORD AVENUE. Bedford Avenue, since it was placed under the charge of the Park Commissioners by an Act of the Legislature of 1878, has also been but indifferently provided for. This statement ap- plies both to the means placed at the disposal of the Commis- sioners for repairs and for ordinary cleaning. With regard to the latter, there has been a great deal of complaint, but it has ~ 14 REPORT OF THE not been possible for the Commission to do more than they have done under the circumstances. The importance of this thoroughfare, as a convenient medium of communication to very considerable and important sections of the city, calls for a more liberal allowance proportionally than ordinary streets ; the travel, both for business purposes and pleasure riding, is probably greater than any other street in the city, Fulton Street, possibly, excepted. An appropriation of $8,000, authorized by Act of the Legis- lature, enabled the Park Commission to carry out a very ex- tensive work of repair to the superstructure of the roadway during the past season. Resurfacing to the extent of one hundred thousand square feet, superficial, was effected at a cost of eight and a half cents per square foot, and a total expendi- ture of about $8,600. The work was done in a substantial and satisfactory manner, by contract with the Abbott Pavement Company of this city. The material and manner of doing the work was practically similar to that of the original superstructure, also put down by the Abbott Pavement Company, and which, it has been understood, has given substantial satisfaction. A further appropriation of $8,000 would enable the Commis- sion to complete the needed resurfacing and put the avenue into a very favorable condition for the large and varied use to which it is subjected; but it is equally necessary that a sufh- cient sum of money should be placed in the hands of the Com- mission to enable them to carry out such a system of repairs as would preclude the possibility of any considerable destruction or impairment of surface, and thus ensure to the public a con- tinuous use of all parts of the roadway under the most favorable conditions. PARADE GROUND. During the year, the Parade Ground has been kept in suit- able condition for use for the military, both of our own county and by organizations from New York. The extent to which it i > BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. LS has been used by our citizens and youth for out-door recreation is very considerable. During the fine weather of spring, summer and fall, its fields have been im constant requisition by organizations engaged im recreative sports, such as base ball, cricket, la crosse, foot ball, &c., for which it has secured a national fame. If the encouragement of such sports among our young men is a proper one for the consideration of the public authorities, as we certainly think it is, a small additional appropriation would enable us to greatly enlarge the facilities now afforded by these grounds. OCEAN PARKWAY AND CONEY ISLAND. The use of the Ocean Parkway as an extension of the Park, and as a thoroughfare for the accommodation of a constantly increasing volume of business traffic is noticeable. Its value as a well built and very convenent line of communication with the suburban towns to and including Coney Island through which it passes, is rapidly increasing, and furnishes an ample reason of itself, why the roads, superstructures and all con- nected with its welfare should be more substantially provided for and maintained. Similar roadways in the outlying portions of New York City, bearing relatively no greater importance to the public interest and convenience of the city, are provided for by most lavish outlays compared to that which the Commission are permitted to expend upon the Parkway. The gravelled surfaces have been worn away by the constant attrition to which they have been subjected by the wheels, &c., and considerable portions of the roadways require resurfacing to the depth of several inches in order to restore them toa condition measurably corresponding to that of their original construction. The money provided for the care of the Parkway is too small to permit of any substantial repairs, or to allow of such liberal and continuous resurfacing and sprinkling during the dry weather of the year which is necessary not only for the comfort of those using the road, but to prevent the surfaces 16 REPORT OF THE from being broken up and seriously disordered. The varied uses which it affords in connection with the Park as a com- modious thoroughfare to the outlying county towns, and as a broad highway to Coney Island, ought to ensure on the part of the authorities, a sufficient appropriation to preserve the super- structures from unnecessary destruction and to provide means for a proper maintenance. CONEY ISLAND. The great increase of visitors to Coney Island has brought into more prominent notice the area known as the Concourse, belonging to the county, and under the charge of the Com- mission. The accommodation for rest and shelter, and the provision of drinking water, has been abundantly made use of by visitors, and although these accommodations are not extensive, they have served a very useful purpose. The use of the Con- course as the connecting communication between the east and west end of the Island, was very large during the summer season, and imposed upon the Commission the necessities in the way of attendance and police service at the island, which the allowance for that purpose was inadequate to meet. The concreted superstructure of the Concourse, which forms the roadway and walk of the Concourse require the expenditure of several hundred dollars in order to put it in proper condition for use, and a more general resurfacing will be necessary within a short time to preserve this road and its foundations. It must not be forgotten that the embankment encased in substantial bituminous concrete, upon which the Promenade and Concourse drive rests, forms one of the most substantial barriers against the encroachments of the ocean at the island, and which has many times successfully resisted the north- east storms from which adjacent portions of the island have suffered so much damage. For its proper protection, as a means of safety to large interests, in which the town of Graves- end and the county are concerned, a substantial provision of means is warranted on the part of the authorities. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 17 A similar structure on the eastern end of the Island, or one of even more substantial character, in which the use of concrete, brick and stone masonry may be combined, will be found to be necessary to prevent the periodical destructions resulting from the prolonged northeast storms to which this portion of the Island is lable, and to which we have referred more at length in previous reports. Much responsibility is entailed upon the Commission in maintaining some measure of order among hackmen and others who drive for hire, their conveyances over the Concourse. The Commission found it necessary to make arrests, and their action has been sustained generally by the justices of the neighborhood but the comfort and safety of visitors, whose welfare and convenience all parties at the island should regard with interest, must be made secure by proper regulations and a strict enforcement of them, and of the penalty for the violation of them. The prominent relation which portions of the Parkway and the Concourse hold to the growing interests of Coney Island, has involved and continues to involve the Commission in Serious annoyance and expensive litigation in order to ward oft encroachments upon the property under their charge, or to arrest the progress of railroad structures and other enterprises which are calculated to interfere with and subordinate the public interest. During the past season the Commissioners were forced to expend for legal purposes the sum of $2,308.83, which the Board of Supervisors, not without inconsistency as it appears to the Commission, have refused to make provision for. Fur- ther suits, one in connection with the railroad crossing of the Parkway, contiguous to the rear line of the Concourse, and another affecting the title to a small portion of the Concourse at the west end, are still pending. These suits have been prose- cuted with vigor, and with the best intelligence at the com- 3 18 REPORT OF THE mand of the Commission, but no provision in either of these cases has been made to meet expenses which must be conceded by all to be necessary and highly proper in connection with such A J heh important subjects. The Commissioners have in preceding reports, endeavored to point out defects in the general management of the island and have made suggestions, to which they again ask the atten- tion of those in authority, without whose co-operation the Commissioners must continue to remain powerless.
