To the Honorable the Mayor of the City of Brooklyn: SIR: The Brooklyn Park Commissioners beg leave to submit herewith their annual report for the year 1885. The accompanying financial statements represent the several amounts of money which were appropriated for their use dur- ing the year, together with the details of its expenditure. The report of the Chief Engineer and Superintendent fur- nishes the details of the work, together with such other infor- mation pertaining to the parks, &c., as is likely to prove of interest to the public. The Commissioners have observed with satisfaction the increasing interest in the parks and of their appreciable influ- ence upon the value of the city at large. It is not without solici- tude, however, that they have sought to administer the duties imposed upon them by law with the means which, from careful observation, they believe to be inadequate for the requirements of the work. In this connection the Commissioners submit for your infor- mation a series of estimates which have been prepared by the 6 REPORT OF THE Chief Engineer and Superintendent, under the direction of a committee of this Board, with their report thereon, and these are herewith submitted for the information of the public. The Commissioners beg leave to recommend that legislative authority be sought for to transfer the control of Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street, at present vested in the Brooklyn Park Commissioners, to the care of the Department of City Works, with the provision that authority over the park sidewalks and the location of railroad tracks on these avenues shall remain in the hands of the Commissioners. They further suggest that consideration be given to the needed repairs of Flatbush avenue from the Plaza to the city line, and that provision be made for lighting it with gas or electric lights. The condition of the streets and avenues surrounding the park within the city limits and the large increase in their use by the public, would justify their improvement. The Ocean Parkway and Concourse at Coney Island are important institutions to our citizens, who hold large residual interests in them. It is very desirable that these should be liberally maintained and preserved in their best estate. They also recommend the completion by suitable grading, paving and planting of the Plaza streets which form the bound- — ary of the Plaza, and which are considerable and important public approaches to the park. The general growth of the neighborhood upon the west side, and the progress of valuable private improvements adjacent to the West Plaza street, particularly, would seem to warrant the carrying out of these improvements. In the face of difficulties which existing laws pertaining to improvements of this character impose upon the city at pres- ent, it would be well to seek such amendments of them from the Legislature this winter as would enable the city to exercise its discretion in the matter, and at the same time to modify the law under which funds for the parks are provided, as that the determination of the amount of money to be appropriated BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. Uf by the city for the maintenance of the parks shall be left to the discretion and authority of the Board of Hstimate, in har- mony with the general policy which pertains to other depart- ments of the city, and according to the conditions of the city’s obligations and ability. In the matter of the east side lands, the Commissioners have been estopped in any action on their part looking to a further sale of the property owing to legal technicalities that have been raised in issue as to title, &e. By agreement of counsel repre- senting both interests, that of the purchaser and of the city, the questions were argued at General Term of the Supreme Court, Judge Pratt presiding, who rendered a decision upon all the questions raised in favor of the city. The case was by further agreement taken to the Court of Appeals, where a final decision is expected to be obtained at any time. If the favor- able decree of the General Term of the Supreme Court is con- firmed, as is anticipated, it is believed that there can be no further legal interference with the final disposition of this prop- erty. The commissioners, in common with many of our citizens, share the belief that the earliest favorable opportunity should be taken advantage of to renew the sale of the remaining portion of these lands. Respectfully, JOHN GIBB, President Brooklyn Park Commissioners. AnpreEw A. SMITH, Secretary.

As the result of their deliberations, they herewith submit their report with accompanying estimates. First, as to Construction—There appears a considerable extent of unimproved and also unfinished areas—notably the Plaza street, and that portion lying between Third and Ninth streets —on the Ninth avenue side. There is as well the requirement of structures which, if provided, would inure to the comfort and safety of visitors. Second, as to Reconstruction—The free and continuous use of the parks and parkways by the public, since their completion, has worn out a considerable portion of the original plant ; while, by reason of the limited appropriations for maintenance of the same, they are at present in such condition that unless immediate relief is provided the outlay required for the pre- servation will be largely in excess of that which a present judicious expenditure could restore and perfect. A considerable area of the walks are in need of immediate repair. The same is true of the structures. Then, the planta- tions, provided in part for immediate effect, urgently need attention, especially the preservation of such as are not already past recuperation. A large number of trees on the parkway should be replaced by vigorous substitutes, and the remainder should have ample sustentation. Furthermore, your Committee are of the opinion that an annual appropriation of $197,500 for maintenance, with $50,000 BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 11 per year, for a term of ten years, for construction, would enable the Commissioners to place the park and parkways in the con- dition contemplated in the detailed reports. In the matter of Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street, your Committee are confident that the park and the adjacent prop- erties would be permanently benefited if these streets were improved—especially the former—and that its substantial improvement would hasten the building up of the properties lying along the west side of said avenue. Finally, it is the deliberate judgment of your Committee that the interests of the city and of the contiguous property owners would be subserved through a Legislative Act, which would transfer Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street from the custody of the Park Commissioners to that of the Department of City Works. Respectiully submitted. ROBERT B. VAN VLECK, LEANDER WATERBURY, THOMAS C. SMITH, JOHN Y. CULYER. 12 REPORT OF THE CONSTRUCTION. Of the work left unfinished at the time of suspension in con- struction work twelve years ago the following principal items are enumerated, with estimated cost of their completion. The principal incompleted area is that which lies between Ninth avenue and the west drive from Third street to Ninth street. This contains about 16 acres. Alternate Alternate Estimate. Estimate. In carrying out the design, this will call for about 4,000 feet walks averaging 12 feet in width, or 48,000 square feet superficial, estimated to cost for grading and superstructure as follows : With concrete superstructure walks, 12 feet wide PY mel WSU eY=y 0 atin.

There is contemplated in conjunction with some of these unfinished areas and otherwise several structures and erections of more or less impor- tance to the design. These are enumerated as follows, in the supposed order of their impor- tance from the standpoint of the present. Yirst—The large bridge over the middle channel of the lake at a site’ already established near the present temporary bridge. The water walls in new foundations are already con- structed. The span is 70 feet, and of height! sufficient to connect the present drives on an easy grade. The bridge will cover the water way and two lines of walk. Three designs are suggested and roughly estimated as follows: The plan approved by committee, stone and entrance No. 5, connecting the walk system on the line of Fifteenth street with those on Look- out Hill—this would consist of a light iron structure, either a truss or suspension bridge $7,500 200 500 10,000 6,720 1,000 30,000 $7,000 200 500 10,000 1,000 30,000 14 REPORT OF THE Alternate Alternate Estimate.

This will require about 230,000 square feet of flagging, and estimated to cost about $46,000. This is not included in any estimate, for the reason that this work may be done in conjunction with the future improvement of boundary streets. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 15 RECONSTRUCTION. In making provision for reconstruction work it is proper to consider the superficial character of the re-surfacing of our drives during the last three years ; by 1887 it will be necessary to renew a large part of the surfaces of our drives lately re- paired. Provision will therefore be desirable to be made for re-surfacing, during the next two years, about three miles of drive estimated to cost $1.50 per lineal foot .............. There is out of repair and necessary to be done at this time por- tions of the west drive between the Plaza and Lookout Hill, running parallel with Ninth avenue and Fifteenth street, about 6,000 feet of roadway. In addition’ to the work of re- surfacing the roadway it will be necessary to regrade portions of it over a length of about 1,100 feet. A portion of the drain- age and water service will probably require some readjustment in connection with this part of the work. This regrading and roadwork combined will cost..............

Nearly half a mile of the main West Lake drive was re- surfaced in continuation of similar work which had been done in the preceding seasons. The road gutters for a length of some 1,500 lineal feet were widened, and six large silt basins were constructed and connected by 12-inch pipe with the main drainage system, with the view to more thoroughly intercept the flow of water over the more steeply graded portions of the roadway. The surfacing material used for these repairs was — the Roa Hook gravel, purchased for this purpose. This sec- tion of the drive, which had formerly been in bad order, was restored to good condition. There was expended upon this work about $6,000. The grading and planting was renewed BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 21 upon the unfinished area adjacent to the entrance at Hleventh avenue and city line, and the neighborhood was considerably improved in effect. There was expended upon this $2,200. In the month of March the old Carousai building was removed from the children’s playground to its present site in the picnic woods. This work was done at the expense of the present lessee of the Carousal privilege, and very much in the public interest. The old building erected ten years ago was at the time of its removal very much out of repair; it has been entirely restored and its facilities greatly enlarged. A consid- erable space under the outside platform has been utilized by the construction of over one hundred locker-rooms for tennis players, of whom there were a considerable number previ- ously at the park without such accommodation. The use of this portion of the park for picnicking purposes and its convenience of access for young people generally, rendered this change of site a very desirable one. The excavation for the foundation of this structure and the filling in of the old one was done, in part, at the expense of the Commissioners at a very moderate cost. An extra force was employed during the Spring and Fall mouths in thinning out the plantations of the park. This work comprehended the removal of dead and surplus trees and shrubs, and included such other operations in this line of improve- ment as seemed essential to the restoration and maintenance of this important feature of park ornamentation. The gradual decline of the forest trees, particularly upon the park, results each year in the death of a number whose removal becomes necessary in consequence. This is more uoticeable among the nut-bearing trees, which had been injured by pound- ing with stones at the base of the tree by nut gatherers before the land was acquired for park purposes, and the damage to bark and sap-conducting surfaces have resulted in injuries which in most instances it is believed, after careful observation, haye ultimately occasioned their death, The removal of dead 22, REPORT OF THE and broken limbs from these trees in order to prevent accident to passing vehicles and to pedestrians, has entailed consid- erable work during the season. The preservation of our forest trees upon the park is a mat- ter of no little importance, inasmuch as they form a very char- acteristic feature in park scenery. In the west woods or picnic grounds, and elsewhere, the turf has been trodden out and the earth so compacted and hardened by continuous use, as doubtless to deprive many of these trees of the nourishment through the medium of natural sources, air and moisture, which is unquestionably essential to their vitality. The necessary removal of leaves, from the presence and accumulation of which, trees in their natural state derive material support, 1s no doubt equally productive of injury. The danger from fire makes this removal imperative, however, even if considerations for general tidiness, care of roads, &c., would not justify it. To restore to portions of our already limited forest areas a desirable means of recuperation, the most radical proposition and one most thorough in its possible results, would be to sequester specific parts of the woods for a season, and work over and retertilize the surfaces. Another means to accomplish the object, less completely however, would be to apply a hberal covering of properly selected manure about the base and over the root bed of the trees. In view of the extensive use made of the grounds for picknicking purposes and our limited means, the latter propo- sition could be most conveniently carried out. During the last fifteen years a large number of the older varieties of trees have died in the park. How far it will be possible to rehabilitate this forest feature by replanting, is to a considerable extent a matter of experiment. In the growth of a forest, a great many more trees die than survive, and those that come to maturity have fought their way to a suflicient strength to command conditions favorable to their existence. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 23 Light, ventilation and a certain amount of living room are necessary to each plant, but as our woods are quite open, and there is a considerable space here and there which was formerly occupied by trees that could now be replanted with advan- tage, arrangements might properly be made to supplement our woods from time to time by planting young and thrifty kindred trees. These are principally oaks, hickory, chestnut, tulip, elm, gum, maple, dogwood and some minor varieties. In a few years any considerable number of well preserved forest trees such as here are contained, to be found in the vicinity of our large cities, will come to be of more than common objects of interest, and as such, and for the purpose of instruction to the young, their continued association as a comparatively dis- tinct feature with the varied attractions of a beautiful park, would be very desirable. To carry out this object properly, a nursery for the propa- gation and development of this class of trees could be estab- lished for the purpose of supplying the necessary material. In other plantations elsewhere, opportunities have been availed of, in the Spring and Fall, to regulate by pruning and cleaning out a great deal of the material which had become surplusage. This comprised shrubbery in variety, such as ‘grew quickly and used therefore often for producing effects readily ; together with other more substantial plants, where intergrowth had produced undesirable massiness and where valuable trees for permanent effect, had attained to sufficient individuality as to justify their stronger definition and protec- tion. A large quantity of material has been thus taken out, ereat care having been exercised in its removal, and nothing was done without a purpose based upon the object and inten- tion of the original planting. In some instances trees and shrubs have died and others have been injured beyond recovery. At these points and in cases where the planting has not been completed, it is intended to plant and to add such material as will be found to be appropriate for the locality. During the past season we have transferred from the more largely devel- 24 REPORT OF THE oped plantations of Rhododendrons, Kalmias, hardy Azalias, &e., a number of choice plants, to localities suited to their erowth and where they were brought into public view and proved to be a source of interest to visitors. Some loss and injury is sustained each year to our flowering shrubs and plants by visitors, principally women and children, who cannot be made to realize the harm that is done by their depredations. There are distributed throughout the plantations of the park many groups and specimens of choice and often rare varieties of deciduous and evergreen trees, both of native and foreign origin. Numbers of these have attained to an exceptionally fine state of development and individuality. To visitors interested in a more than casual view of these or who may be desirous of more closly familiarizing themselves with the range of composition of the park plantations, some of these varieties are enumerated and their general locality designated. LOCATION—NEAR THE MAIN OR PLAZA ENTRANCE. Quercus Cerris pendula, or Turkey weeping oak. This tree is the only one of its kind upon the park. It is four and a half inches in diameter, twenty feet in height, and is a notable tree of its class. Salisburia adiantifolia, the maiden hair or Gingko tree of Japan. This is one foot in diameter, forty feet high, and one of the largest in the vicinity. Kolreuteria paniculata, or Chinese Kolreuteria; Virgilea Lutea, or yellow wood. Here are also to be found fine trees of the following variety of maples: Acer pseudo platanus, or syc- amore maple; Acer platanoides, or Norway maple; Acer sac- charinum, or sugar maple ; Acer negundo, or ash leaved maple ; Acer rubrum colchicum, or red maple; Acer dasycarpum, or silver leaf maple; Acer Saccharinum nigra, or black sugar maple; Acercampestris, or English field maple; Tilia Ameri- canus, or American linden; Ulmus campestris, or English elm, BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 25 and Ulmus Americanus, or American elm; Betula alba, or white birch ; Betula alba laciniata, or cut leaved white birch; Picea erandis, or grand silver fir; Pinus cembra, or stone pine. In the vicinity of the play-ground, a short distance into the park, to the left of the main east drive, are to be found the fol- lowing, all fine specimens: Picea Cephalonica, or Cephalonia or Mt. Enos fir; Picea Nordmanniana, or Nordmanns fir. These are both vigorous and finely marked plants, thirty feet in height. Retinospora pisilera aurea, or golden retinospora, eighteen feet in height ; Sophora Japonica, or Japan sophora; Pinus excelsa, or lofty Rhotan pine, thirty feet in height; Fagus sylvatica pendula, or purple beech; Fagus ferruginea, or American beech; Magnolia acuminatata, or cucumber tree ; Magnolia tripetela, or umbrella magnolia; Castanea vesca, or Spanish chestnut, noticeable in spring for its long pendulous light green catkins. This tree is twenty inches in diameter and thirty-five feet in height. In the neighborhood lying between Battle Hill, near Battle pass, and the Deer paddock are specimens of Quercus Macro- earpa, or large leaf Bur oak; Quercus Macrophylla, or large leaf oak; Quercus Robur, English oak, and otherwise known as Hernes Oak; Quercus Cerris, or Turkey oak; Quercus fas- tigiata, or Pyramidal oak ; Tilia Huropza, or European linden ; Tilia Kuropzea Alba, or European silver linden ; Juglans Nigra, or black walnut. This tree is the last of a group of old wal- nut trees that occupied a conspicuous site upon the high eround near the old valley Grove road, and must have been familiar to many of-our old citizens before the construction of the park. Inthe valley grove which comprises a considerable part of the middle woods from Battle pass running south, are to be found specimens of Betula lenta or black birch of very large size; Nyssa Multiflora; Pepperidge, or black or sour eum; Liquid Amber, or white or sweet gum; Quercus Kubra, or red oak ; Quercus Alba, or white oak ; Quercus Coccinea, or scarlet oak ; Acer rubrum, or swamp maple, three feet in diam- eter and forty high; Liriodendron tulipifera, or tulip tree. 26 REPORT OF THE Several fine types of this tree are to be found upon the Bridle road leading from the Nethermead arches to the farm house. They are stately and interesting specimens, with straight stems of considerable height, and although a native tree, is not very familiar to ordinary observers. Some of these are over four feet in diameter. Castanea Americanus, or American chestnut, of which there are several in the same locality, whose diam- eter at the base is over four feet. Carpinus Americanus, or the American horn beam or iron wood. ‘This specimen is furnished with a well developed head, which covers an area of forty feet. Juglans Cinera, or butternut; Carya or hickory tree in variety, and Cornus Florida, or American dogwood, whose large white flowers blossom profusely in the wood. In the neighborhood of the Pedestrian Concourse or flower garden and upon the north and south slopes of Breeze Hill, may be found the following plants, all of which are choice specimens. (The collection of evergreens among these is an especially varied and valuable one.) Larix Europea, or European larch; Abies Gregoriana, or Gregory spruce ; Abies Clanbrasilliana, or Lord Clanbrasils— dwarf spruce ; Abies nigra, or black spruce ; Abies orientalis, or oriental spruce ; Picea Pinsapo, or Pinsapo fir; Picea Cep- halonica, or Cephalonia, or Mt. Enos fir, a very choice plant, fourteen inches in diameter, and thirty feet high. Taxus Adpressa, or short leayed or creeping yew; Taxus baccata, or English yew; Taxus baccata erecta, or upright yew; Taxus Canadensis, or Canadian yew; Taxus baccata, or ground hemlock; Rhododendrons and Kalmias, a choice variety of well grown plants. Generally in the month of June these plants are prolific with richest bloom of varied color ; Ilex Opaca, the American holly ; Hex aquifolium, or Kuropean holly; Carpinus betula, or European horn beam; Picea Picta, or Siberian fir; Picea Nobilis—Noble silver fir; Picea Hudsonica— Hudson Bay silver fir; Cupressus BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 27 Lawsoniana, or Lawson Cypress, 18 feet high; Cryptomeria Lobu, or Lobb’s Japanese cedar, 20 feet high; Cunninghamia Sinensis, or Chinese pine; Retenospora pisifera, 20 feet high ; Ulmus Paradox fastigiata—Pyramidal Elm; Ulmus Montana Camperdownii pendula, or Camperdown (Scotch) weeping elm 14 inches in diameter and less than 20 feet in hight. ‘This tree is at the turn of the walk at the north side of Cleftridge span leading from the latter to the Pedestrian Concourse, and is a curious and interesting specimen of a worked and grafted plant; Ulmus Montana, or Mountain or Scotch elm; Ulmns Camperdownii, or Camperdown Elm; Planera acuminata, or Kaaka Elm ; Acer polymorphum, or Japan maple, 8 inches diam- eter and 18 feet high. These latter are some of the largest and finest specimens in America and remarkable for the rich crimson color of their foliage in the Autumn; Acer pseudo platanus pur- purea—purple sycamore maple ; Acer Rubrum—swamp maple ; Cercis Canadensis, or red bud or Judas tree. The branches of this tree are covered with a profusion of purple flowers early in Spring, before the appearance of the foliage. Tila Europea Argentia, Huropean silver leaved linden. Taxodium distichum, American bald cypress. Upon the lower level of the Pedestrian Concourse, facing the Music Island, is to be found also a fine grove of Platanus occi- dentalis and Platanus orientalis, the American and eastern plane tree, fine specimens of growth and development. Upon the borders of the South Lake drive are to be found a number of the Ulmus campestris, or English elm, in a vigorous and characteristic state of development. In this neighborhood, too, may be seen the Fraxinus excelsa aurea, or golden-barked Huropean ash; the fraxinus sal- ixtolia, or European willow-leaved ash; the fraxinus excelsa punctua, or blotch-leaf ash; the fraxinus lacineata, or cut- leaved Hnelish ash. Several of the Ulmus Americanus, or American Elm, to be found upon the park, are very perfect specimens of this heauti- ful and graceful native tree. 28 REPORT OF THES These, with many other varieties of trees and flowering shrubs and plants to be found upon the parks, afford ample means and opportunity to those interested, for study and examination. To facilitate this object, metal labels of suitable size and design have been prepared, upon which the technical and common name will be legibly written, and the labels placed upon suit- ably selected subjects, to which free access will be afforded to all visitors. Of a considerable area of walk surface needing repair, the thoroughfare walk running from Battle Pass to the Willink entrance junction walk, justified its selection of such as it was possible to do this season. Itis one of the most considerably used lines of travel upon the park, and this was entirely relaid during the year over a length of 1,380 feet and eighteen feet in width, the whole containing an area of 25,000 square feet superficial, and cost for its restoration in bituminous concrete about $3,600. The work was very satisfactorily done by Mr. J. P. Cranford, of this city, and is in good condition at the close of the year. Some minor repairs were made to portions of walk at the Willink entrance and in the neighborhood of the Carousal and picnic shelter buildings. As there are several miles of walk which have been passing through a gradual process of deteri- oration during the past fifteen years, it will be readily seen that but little progress can be made in their repair out of our ordi- nary maintenance fund. The bridle roads were more generally used by horseback riders than ever before. It is desirable to improve them, but to treat them as their importance deserves is beyond the limit of our present means. The drainage system is in serviceable condition, but requires in keeping the pipe lines open and in cleaning out silt basins, a portion of our force almost constantly employed. While the large number of silt basins entails the use of considerable labor, their purpose is to intercept at frequent intervals BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 29 extraordinary flows of water during heavy storms, thus prevent- ing excessive injury to the road surfaces, and also to prevent the passage of any deleterious material into the lake. The well and water service, together with the system of dis- tributing pipes upon the park, the parkway, and to Coney Island, have been maintained in continuous operation through- out the year, and with the exception of an occasional supply to the fountain at the Plaza furnished from the city service, has supplied all the water required for drinking and orna- mental purposes and for sprinkling the drives of the park and the Ocean Parkway. By the use of this water upon the Park- way and park drives we have been enabled to maintain the roadways in good condition for travel during a greater part of the year. From Parkville to the island the four-inch extension pipe is inadequate to supply all the water needed, as the flow through so long a distance and through a pipe of such inferior dimen- sions, is greatly retarded by friction; the serviceable supply, therefore, is a very limited one. To remedy this deficiency, arrangements were made during the year with Mr. B. F. Stephens, of the Coney Island water works, for the delivery and use of water from his service at the island into our line under a greater pressure, which will enable us to maintain the lower section of the Parkway in better condition than hereto- fore. The park lake has been in good condition throughout the year. The appearance of vegetation in the water in the small bays near the boat-house, usually during the warmer months of the summer, has operated somewhat against the attractiveness of this portion of the lake. The plant which comprises this vegetation is a natural product of shallow bodies of water under the influence of the higher temperature of summer, and is not believed by those who have thoroughly examined the subject to be productive, over so small an area of water, of any harmful influences to health. No known experience upon the park will justify such a conclusion. 30 REPORT OF THE Our lake covers an area of nearly 60 acres. The supply from the rainfall is sufficient through most of the year to main- tain it at a normal level. The exposure to which the surface of the lake is subjected at all seasons is of itself a means of extensive aeration. The daily evaporation also, a natural cleansing process, is, during the warm months of summer, nearly 500,000 gallons in 24 hours. The lake is not the receptacle of any impurities except such as may be carried into it by the rainfall from the surrounding turfed area, and it contains, among other varieties, a very respectable number of bass, that live, move and have their being and undoubtedly thrive there. In fact, as to the condition of this water generally, I know more than one community of considerable numbers not a hun- dred miles from Brooklyn whose potable water supply is inferior to that which constitutes the park lake. While having embodied in a completed design of the park, such essential features as the lake and watercourses, the sub- stantial effect upon the eye and mind of the visitor, naturally pertaining to associated ideas of bodies and streams of water, simulative of lakes and streams supplied from perennial sources, has not been entirely attained on the park, owing to the occasional scarcity of water during the dry weather of summer. A full lake and constantly running streams are very desirable, and would undoubtedly prove a great additional attraction, but the occasional deficient flow of water, when observed, tends to detract from the harmonizing appearance of special localities, where one looks for a more vigorous display of water to complete the picture. With clear water from anysource at our disposal, with which to maintain a supply to feed the courses through the ravines and over the falls, through the various levels towards the lake, the comforting influence of the imagination due to the pres- ence of a vigorous flow of water through that section of the park, would work marvels upon the mind of the casual be- holder. To offset. these disadvantages, which to some extent were foreseen during the early years of construction, it is proposed BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. sil to construct a supplementary service at the head of the trout pool upon the slope of Quaker Hill. From this point a run- ning stream throughout the whole line and over the falls could be maintained during all seasons of the year. In addition to the items of work particularly enumerated in the foregoing pages, a considerable amount of labor has been necessarily expended upon special work growing out of the park, such as the provisions for music, the annual Sunday School parade, the ceremonies connected with the Lincoln monument services, and the Martyrs’ tomb at Fort Greene, Decoration Day, together with the large number of picnics, lawn tennis and other field games. A force of laborers has also been employed almost continu- ously upon needed repairs of buildings, field structures, such as summer houses, bridges, fences, seats, &e. The detail is almost infinite and the expenditure attending this work has been considerable during the year. Such work attracts no special attention, but is found to be necessary, as contributing directly to the ephemeral use of the park during the season of its greatest occupation by the public. In connection with other needed work it helps to rapidly dissipate our limited means through the most exacting séason, and involves the exercise of great economy during the Winter and early Spring months of the year. The moneys appropriated for park purposes, with the excep- tion of some minor special appropriations, is, if strictly inter- preted, intended for the maintenance of those works in detail, such as structures, roads, walks, turf, plantations, drainage and water supply, that have been brought by a course of construc- tion to an accepted condition of completion. Unfortunately, during the last fifteen years the continued use of the park has resulted in the natural and decided deterioration of many of its important constructed features, for the necessary recon- struction of which no special provisions have ever been made. The most pressing exigencies have been met from time to time, in a superficial way, by expenditures from the ordinary appro- priations for maintenance. Shi REPORT OF THE At the earlier period, when the greater part of the park con- structions had just been completed and were in good order and required comparatively little attention, this fund was a fair provision for the purposé for which it was intended by law. That this class of work has not been more thoroughly done, therefore, has been due to the double responsibilities which have been imposed upon the Commissioners, to partially recon- struct important portions of the park which could not be longer left to deteriorate and at the same time make provision for a greatly increased public use to which the parks have been gradually, year by year, subjected. Our appropriations applicable to the maintenance of parks aggregate $135,000. Out of this is to be deducted about $50,000 for the support of the keeper or police force, a service quite essential in the scheme of caretaking and general super- vision. As this fund is applicable to the care of all the parks, widely distributed about the city, viz.: Prospect park, Fort Greene, Tompkins park, Carroll park, City park, City Hall, the enclosure at the junction of Cumberland, Greene and Fulton avenues, Washington, Atlantic and Underhill avenues, Throop avenue and Gwinett street, it is possibly quite apparent that an average monthly expenditure of about $7,000 for labor, supplies, &c., is a very moderate one. This monthly average of $7,000 is really the minimum amount needed for the least exacting month of the year, while the requirements of the spring and summer months would properly involve in reason- able expenditures the use of an amount two or three times as much. With an increased appropriation a great many things can be done from year to year by which not alone a satisfactory resto- ration of many features of work can be brought about, but at the same time the comfort and pleasure of our citizens still further contributed to. The estimates which accompany the report of your committee indicate the work to be done in this connection and the amount of money that will be needed for the purpose. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. he PUBLIC USE OF THE PARK. The skating season commenced on the 26th December, 1884, and extended through a period of thirty-eight days, and closed upon March tst. With some atmospheric disadvantages due to the more proximate influences of the ocean, our citizens enjoyed nearly double the number of days of skating that were provided at Central Park. Through a greater part of this period nearly fifty acres of ice were kept in condition for use. The park lake was frequently resorted to by a large number of persons from New York to whom it proved an attraction. In addition to skating, ice boating and other sports were provided for. The winter was a seasonable one, with frequent snow, and the exceptional facilities for sleighing upon the Park and parkways were amply availed of. The sleighing was often kept in good condition by restoring snow at intervals along the roads, whence it had drifted or blown away. The cleaning of snow from the small parks and City Hall necessitated the employment of an additional force at frequent intervals during the winter. On the 22d February (Washineton’s Birthday) the use of the Park was assigned to the Second Division N.G.S. N.Y. A series of operations simulative of movements and manceuvres upon the battle field werecarried on, and were participated in by all the military organizations, comprising the Second Division, under the command of Major-General E. L. Molineux and Briga- dier-Generals Christensen and Brownell. A favorable conjunc- tion of weather, interest, and the freedom attending a holiday, had the effect of bringing together so large a concourse of visi- tors, estimated in numbers at 100,000, as to seriously interfere with the contemplated object. It is believed however that, from a military point of view, considerable advantage resulted from the enterprise. The ground was frozen and covered with snow, and there was no serious damage done to any part of the Park. 34 REPORT OF THE With the opening of Spring, the number of visitors were greatly increased, there being no period of the year so inviting or more fayorable for observing the beauties and resources of the Park. On the 24th of May the annual parade of the Sunday Schools took place upon the Long Meadow. Seating accom- modations were specially provided under the shade of the trees for between 12,000 and 13,000 children and teachers; plat- forms aud reviewing stands were erected for the use of ofli- cers and invited guests, and the North Meadow was enclosed with ropes, supported upon substantial stakes, and the field decorated with flags and bunting. The weather was very favor- able, and if is estimated that about 40,000 persons visited the Park to witness the interesting ceremonies, whick were gone through with without accident and to the satisfaction of all the participants. At the close of the exercises a number of the large Sunday Schools and Church organizations which had taken part in the parade, picnicked upon the Park, and were specially provided with seats, tables, water, &c., for the purpose. On the 27th May the Lincoln Memorial Services were held at the Plaza under the auspices of the representatives of the G. A. R. of this city. The services comprised an address by his Honor Mayor Low, who presided; an oration by Mr. Joseph C. Hendrix, and the further exercises were interspersed with music and singing by school children under the direction of Professor Caswell of this city. Other ceremonies of a similar character were held at the Martyrs’ Tomb at Fort Greene, platforms, seats and decorations having been provided in both instances by the Commissioners. The picnicking season commenced on the first day of June, and continued throughout the months of July, August, Septem- ber and October. The expensive ventures, often attended with danger as well, of journeying by boat or cars with large numbers of children BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 35 to distant points in search of accommodations greatly inferior to those provided without charge at the Park, have during late years been very generally abandoned. ‘The necessary mainten- ance of these grounds, which are almost continually used for picnicking during six months of the year, involves a considerable outlay for their care and cleaning, the provision af seats, tables, swings, water, police supervision, &c.; but the benefits in the way of convenience, safety and economy inheres so directly to our own people that these facilities, as a matter of good policy, should be enlarged rather than curtailed. While the picnic grounds are always free, it is customary and often desirable to regulate their use in the general interest. This system of regulation is now very generally understood, and operates to the advantage of all concerned. The following printed forms indicate the method adopted, and their publica- tion will no doubt prove interesting information to many who seek to use the Park in this way: IBROORTYN Die) AON AUR 188 To the Chief Engineer and Sup't, .

Croquet-playing, to a large degree abandoned by young people, continues to prove an acceptable recreation to a large number of adults throughout the fine weather of the year. Tennis-playing almost reached the limit of our resources for its accommodation upon the Park during the past season. The tenuis fields upon Prospect Park, Fort Greene and Tompkins Parks covered an area equal to nearly 60 acres, and comprised at times over 200 courts,:a large number of which were fre- quently in daily use. Over 400 clubs, averaging ten members, and composed of young ladies and gentlemen, were afforded every facility for playing. Lockers were provided also for the storing of nets, clothing, &e. Vhe turf was kept constantly in order by frequent cutting, to meet the requirements of the game; courts were marked out and maintained, and police supervision furnished. A single tennis court covers an area of nearly three thousand square feet, and requires fur the definition of its boundavies, &e., distinctly marked lines, usually made with liquid whiting, amounting to four hundred and eighty feet in length. For an aggregate of two hundred courts, these boundaries, &c., would, if extended in a single line, equal a distance of one hundred thousand feet, or over eighteen miles. These tre- quently, after heavy rains, were required to be entirely renewed. For this purpose thirty-four barrels or nearly twelve thousand pounds of whiting were used. ‘There were no charges or fees of any kind in connection with these provisions. The facilities thus afforded by the Commissioners probably exceeded those for similar purposes provided by all the public parks together in the country. The Tennis season commenced on the 24th of May and continued throughout the early part of December. The Archery grounds were maintained and made use of during the spring, summer and fall months, 38 REPORT OF THE Miniature yachting continued to interest many of our youthful visitors upon the Lake. The management of the boating ser- vice has been greatly improved, and the establishment of a moderate tariff of prices resulted in a more extended use of the boats for pleasure and exercise by visitors. The Park carriage service and other privileges, together with the Park restaurants, have satisfactorily met the require- ments for which they were established, and the public accom- modation in this particular has been satisfactory. MUSIC. The first concert of the series of 1885 was provided on Decora- tion Day, May 30th, and continued until August 12th. Twelve con- certs constituted the season. The music was furnished by Mr. Luciano Conterno of this city, who, in providing a choice, varied- and acceptable programme for each Saturday, conscientiously discharged his responsibilities. The concerts were largely attended, and it is to be regretted that our means did not permit us to continue them longer. If the money could be had, I would recommend that an additional concert be provided on Wednesday of each week, in addition to the regular Saturday concert, during the months oi July and August. No better place for women and children could be found for convenient recreation during these warm months, especially to those whose means would not permit of expenditures necessary to obtain the same amount of comfort and pleasure at more distant points. BICYCLING AND TRICYCLING. The use of the bicycle and tricycle for recreation and exer- cise has considerably increased in Brooklyn. ‘The park and parkways have afforded exceptional facilities for riding. The tricycle as a vehicle for ordinary exercise and pleasure riding is more generally used than last season. This machine is greatly used abroad as a convenient means of traveling about the Se BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 39 country, and would be found very serviceable, especially for adults, for that purpose upon the park and parkways and upon the quieter roads and byways in the rural neighborhoods of the adjoining county towns. There have been few accidents chargeable to carelessness or inexperience in the handling of bicycles, and the riders them- selves, as a body, are solicitous to observe every precaution calculated to ingratiate themselves, as riders, in the good opin- ion of the public. The following rules and regulations which have been ap- proved by the Commissioners meet in a practical way all the requirements which, from my observation and experience, it seems to be necessary to impose upon riders: RULEs AND REGULATIONS For BICYCLE AND TRICYCLE RIDING In Prospect Park, and upon the Parkways and Concourse at Coney Island. PROSPECT PARK. From November Ist to May Ist riding will be permitted upon all the pathways, subject to the following and such other restrictions as the comfort and safety of pedestrians may demand. From May Ist to November Ist the pathways may be used before 10 A. M. and after 7 P.M. At other times no riding will be permitted upon the pathways, except on those south of the lake, from the frving Statue to Gate 4, and to Lookout Hill. The west drive, running parallel with Ninth avenue, Fifteenth street and the Old Coney Island Road to Gate 4, or the south- erly entrance, may be used at all times. Care must be observed in crossing the plazas at the en- trances to the park. Bicycle riders must dismount and walk down Ravine Hill and Deer Paddock Hill at all times. 40 REPORT OF THE Tricycle riders may descend those hills mounted, provided they apply their brakes and go slowly. No blowing of whistles or bugles will be allowed. All riders must carry lighted lamps after sundown. No fast riding, speeding or racing will be permitted, nor will coasting be allowed under any circumstances. This is not in- tended to prevent tricycle riders using foot-rests instead of pedals when applying brakes and going down hill slowly. Keep to the right as a rule, and always be prepared to give timely warning to pedestrians. PARKWAYS AND CONCOURSE. Riding at will upon the ocean and eastern parkways, and the Coney Island Concourse, subject to the usual rules of the road, will be permitted at all times. Owing to the large amount of driving upon the roadways, riders must observe great care in order to avoid the possibility of accident. Conform generally to the rules prescribed for the riding in Prospect Park. The foregoing privileges are subject to the following con- ditions : All wheelmen will be required to register their name and address at the office of the Chief Engineer and Superintendent, Litchfield Mansion, Prospect Park, and procure a numbered badge, to be provided by the Park Commissioners, which badge shall be worn conspicuously on the left breast, and no wheelman will be permitted to enter the park or go on the parkways and concourse without such badge. They will otherwise conform to such rules and restrictions as may from time to time be established and imposed by the chief engineer and superinten- dent. The New York wheelmen who hold badges issued by the Central Park Commissioners will be permitted to ride upon Prospect Park, &e., under the same conditions as govern the Brooklyn wheelmen. Visiting wheelmen may secure temporary permits to ride on the park and parkways on personal applica- —— eee BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. Al tion at the office of the Chief Engineer and Superintendent on Prospect Park. Particulars as to time and place for making application for such permits may be had at the Chief Kngineer and Superintendent’s office in the park. Generally, wheelmen must avoid as far as possible all cause for complaint ; they must observe due care and caution at all times, especially in the vicinity of pedestrians ; they must con- form promptly to all directions and cautions from the keepers and other officers of the park, and in case of accident render such assistance as may be necessary, give their name and address, or badge number, if required, and assume such res- ponsibility as circumstances may warrant. Special privileges, such as parades, entertainment of visiting clubs, &c., may be at all times arranged for, by timely applica- tion to the Chief Engineer and Superintendent. : The members of the Long Island Wheelmen, Kings County Wheelmen, Brooklyn Bicycle Club and Bedford Cycling Club, may co-operate in securing a strict observance of the foregoing rules and regulations in such manner as may be arranged, to the satisfaction of the Chief Engineer and Superintendent. The object of these rules and regulations is to serve the interests of bicycle and tricycle riders generally. They have been approved by the most experienced riders, and were, in the main, suggested by the organized clubs of this city, with the view to avoid all possible opposition from the public, and secure comfortable means and opportunity for a desirable recreation. By order of the Broox~yn Park ComMMISsIONERS, . JNO. Y. CULYER, Chief Engineer and Superintendent. Office, Litchfield Mansion, Prospect Park. The improvements put upon the drives during the last two seasons tended to add to the facilities for park pleasure driv- ing. Repairs to portions of the walks served the convenience 42, REPORT OF THE of pedestrians. The general freedom permitted to visitors to stroll over the meadows has relieved somewhat the pressure for a more general repair of our walk lines. At the Pedes- trian Concourse, and upon some of the small parks there was maintained the usual display of flowers during the season. Some forty thousand plants which were propagated at the park green houses were used for this purpose. It is desirable that the variety of our material should be extended. With the means to add to the collection and propagation of new mater- ial this popular and attractive feature could be greatly enlarged in its scope and interest. We have accumulated by gift and loans a collection of tropical plants which, being displayed at the Pedestrian Concourse during the summer months, have always proved of great interest to visitors. No better oppor- tunity can be offered for a general display, for the benefit of the public, of curious and rare plants af the park. Comparatively few people are familiar with many of these interesting types of foreign plants, and if this collection could be added to by eift or purchase it would unquestionably prove a valuable means for familiarizing the young, with classes of vegetation, with which they are not likely to come in contact under ordinary circumstances elsewhere. The park, in fact, is already an out of door school, where, through the facilities afforded for study, the ordinary pursuit of book knowledge has been supplemented in a practical way. The engineering classes of the Polytechnic Institute and Adel- phi Academy have for a number of years past made use of the park for their operations in engineering with, as I have been informed, the greatest advantage; the resources for practical demonstration and the carrying out of necessary detail work in the field being such as to have had a marked influence in the progress of this important study. “The art and botany classes of these institutions and of the Packer Institute, to- gether with classes of advanced pupils from some of our pub- lie and private schools, have also made the park a study eround. In addition to this, permits for individual use, accor- ding special conveniences and privileges to the holder, for the BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 43 study of Art, Botany, Entomology, Ornithology, &c., have been issued to the number of four hundred. The park is also a favorite resort for amateur photographers, to whom about 300 permits have been issued. If, besides maintaining the park as a living panorama, de- lighting the eye of the visitor with green fields and woods, and combining in the varied scenery that “pageantry of Nature” so pleasing and restful to the eye of the beholder, it has been good policy to afford opportunity to all classes of our citizens to follow the pursuit of recreation and instruction in their own way, wherever consistent with the public interest, the Commissioners in the administration of their responsibil- ities, have made no mistake; otherwise, they probably stand open to conviction as to what should constitute the scope and aim to be attained in regulating the public use of the park. SMALL PARKS. Of the small parks of the city, Fort Greene, the largest in extent and most important, has been generally maintained through the year in better condition than last season. An increase in the keeper force has tended to relieve the park of the presence of many undesirable characters, who often sought to annoy visitors when not directly under the supervision of the keepers. The park seems to invite by its convenience of access the pil- erimage of a number of worthless characters, whose course of life is made up of journeys to and from the county jail. They give us a great deal of trouble, and their frequent arrest imposes responsibilities upon us from which the city police should in part relieve us. If, too, the police justices were less lenient in disposing of such cases the public interest would be benefited. During the year considerable pruning was accomplished, and the more massy plantations were reduced with general advantage. Some of the broken surfaces upon the interior walk lines were repaired at a cost of about twelve hundred dollars, but there is still a considerable portion of the walk surfaces that 44 REPORT OF THE need renewal. The unfinished ground along the border of the jail and hospital property presents an unsightly appearance, and the slopes overlooking the Gant and on the DeKalb avenue sides adjoining the Phasbe Mission building, require to be worked over and replanted. The conditions of these two points are due to the incomplete finish put upon these areas at the close of construction work ten years ago. This park is admirably designed to meet the requirements of a neighbor- hood resort, and its importance would justify the expen- diture of the money needed to perfect its details and maintain it in good condition. TOMPKINS PARK AND CARROLL PARK. Tompkins Park and Carroll Park have received such atten- tion and care, together with the necessary police supervision, as was deemed to be desirable and within our available means. Both of these parks are located in neighborhoods where they afford, to young people particularly, a convenient resort for recreation. With the means to perfect and refine their various details, they could be very much improved in usefulness and appearance. CITY PARK. The deteriorating character of this neighborhood and the erowth of manufacturing interests in the locality have rendered it difficult to devise other use for this park than that of a con- venient thoroughfare and as a playground for the large num- ber of pupils from the neighboring public school. If it is to be continued as a park, its proper rehabilitation would require an expenditure for renewing the walks, planting, returfing, repairs to railing and entrance gates and the regulation of the boundary of sidewalk, not less than ten to fifteen thousand dollars. The several small enclosures about the city, whose locality has been noted elsewhere in this report, have required an average annual expenditure of about $250 for their care during the past Beason, BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 45 “CITY HALL. In the spring of this year the small turfed area on the plaza facing the City Hall was enclosed with a blue stone coping and the surrounding sidewalk regraded and the flagging relaid. Twelve selected maple trees were planted about this area and enclosed with a circular blue stone eurb. This work cost about $3,000, and the expense was defrayed out of the Maintenance Fund of the park. This money was not properly applicable to this purpose and should have been provided for by special ap- propriation at the hands of the Common Council of the city. This work, though limited in its effect, has undoubtedly proved a desirable addition to the former waste of flagging. PARADE GROUND. The Parade ground has been used principally throughout the fine weather of the year for field games, its adaption for which, has made it the principal free resort in this vicinity. The statistics elsewhere given of this use serve to indicate iis popu- larity and the extent to which it has contributed a desirable means of out-door sport and recreation for the young men of our city. The military have made little or no use of the grounds during the year. The turf has been kept in good order and the neces- sary attendance and keepers have been provided for the grounds to assure its care and proper regulation. A special appropriation of $3,500, which has been provided by the Board ot Kstimate, will enable the Commissioners to erect a suitable building containing lockers, wash rooms, closets, &e., for the use ot the young men who use the Parade Ground for various field sports. OCEAN PARKWAY. The repairs to the first section of the Ocean Parkway, which were made last year, enabled us to maintain the principal road- way as far as the Club House in very good condition. The 46 REPORT OF THE lower section, which is composed of a’ much finer and more sandy material, is in need of treatment similar to that of the other portion of the road. The gravel found this side of Parkville is superior for road purposes to the deposits beyond that point, and while the cost of transportation will be greater, the better quality of the gravel itself will compensate in durability for the increased difference in cost. Some parts of the lower section are very much broken up, especially at the extreme end, where more or less of the drifting sand trom the beach has blown over portions ef the road and has prevented anything but temporary betterment. The amount of money provided for the maintenance of the Parkway, nearly six miles long, if applied strictly to maimten- ance work even, is not enough to keep this important pleasure drive in proper condition at all seasons of the year. We can therefore spare very little money for resurfacing any consider- able extent of the lower section. Owing to the limited sustenance contained in the soil spaces originally provided for the trees, many of the trees have failed, and several hundred will be required to be replaced at the lower section, where many of them have died, while others have been destroyed by Jawless people in the neighborhood. In order to revitalize a number of trees whose weakly condition suggested the need of it, a supply of manure bas been worked in over the surface of the roots of such trees, with a view to their recupera- tion. The very thrifty development of the maples between the Park and Parkville will necessitate in another season a thorough and systematic pruning. The large increase in the use of the Parkway as a pleasure drive suggests the desirability of establishing some regulations as to the use of the main roadway, by traftic wagons. The heavy wagons loaded with farm produce, manure, coal and building material of all kinds, subjects the road surface to need- BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 47 lessly excessive wear, breaking it up frequently and impairing to a considerable extent its condition for light vehicular travel, for which the middle drive was specially designed. Many of the drivers of these heavy vehicles are careless of the interests of others upon the road, and are very indifferent to the possibili- ties of accident, especially during the crowded purts of the day. The side roads, which are the traftic roads, are in good condi- tion for nearly the whole distance over which the pleasure- driving extends ordinarily, and these roads are generally in better condition than those of the neighborhood. It will therefore be no hardship to restrict this class of travel at times to these roads, while permitting af other times, when it is safe to do so, the use of the main road under suitable restrictions. Accidents among riders from various causes are quite frequent, and two or three mounted officers could be employed upeu the Parkway to good advantage to regulate travel. CONCOURSE. At the Concourse, the usual force has been eimployed in the cleaning and care of the promenade, drive, walk, shelter build- ings, water supply, and the occasional removal of ofiensive debris, dead animals,’&c., which have been washed upon the shore. igi A force of keepers has been detailed throughout the spring, suinmer and fall months to regulate traflic, much of which is by public hacks. The character of these establishments, as a rule, is poorly adapted to the proper conveyance of passengers. The vehicles are disreputable, and the horses, most of them aged and decrepid specimens of that noble animal, are unfit for the burden put upon them, and daily call for the intervention of a humane and powerful representative of the Society for the Pre- vention of Cruelty to Animals. Most of the drivers are ready to practice extortion upon the guileless visitor who seeks transportation over the Concourse, i CO REPORT OF THE while others are inexperienced boys, a number of whom lust season I assumed the responsibility of preventing from oper- ating upon the Concourse. The settlement of the middle part of the isiand contains many buildings devoted to nefarious purposes and practices, upon which the authorities impose little if any restrictions. The effect has been to steadily depreciate the value and serviceableness as a summer resort of a considerable part of the island. The con- tignity of two large race tracks where, during a greater portion of the year, many race horses are quartered, has had the effect of making the beach quite prominent as a horse resort. These, with the connivance of their owners, have so divided the use of the beach with human visitors, as offen to munopolize it to the discomfort of the public, and while the benefits of sea bathing, which the horses undoubtedly derive, need not be absolutely denied them, it will be necessary next season to restrict the use of that portion of our Concourse to limited hours and at such times as will not interfere with its public use. During the storm which prevailed on the 24th November, the ocean face of the bituminous concrete upon the embankment of the Concourse was carried away for a length of 250 feet by 15 feet in width at the easterly end. This has been inevitable in consequence of the gradual encroachment of the water under the influence of a northeast storm, trom which direction the greatest amount of damage to this shore results. The system of rectangular bulk- heads or enclosed vribbing, composed principally of rough timber, which had been adopted by the Manhattan Improvement Com- pany and Brighton Beach Railroad Company, has long tended to invite the attacks of the elements upon the easterly shore of the island, and the destruction of that part of the beach has been so general as to completely modify the configuration of that portion of the ocean front between the Oriental hotel and the Concourse property. The conjunctive effect of these artificial structures and the influence of the elements, have resulted in shifting, for the time being at least, the imminent danger of further encroach- eS eee ee ee BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 49 ments upon the face of the Brighton Beach Railroad Company property and the easterly end of the Concourse, against which no protection can be devised at this season of the year without the expenditure of a large sum of money. ‘The plan adopted by the Commissioners ten years ago, for the protection and preser- vation of the Coucourse embankment, was such as to afford the desired safeguard against the force of the water beating upon and over the embankment, under the influence of these heavy storms, but this structure, at the easterly end particularly, is now threatened from a direction over which we can exercise no opposing means and is likely to seriously damage our property before Spring of next year. The value of the Concourse area to our citizens is great enough to justify a more general interest in its improvement and preser- vation than has been apparently manifested in the past. It is now the only considerable part of the beach to which the public can enjoy, with the desired freedom, the privilege for which, a journey to the island is mainly valuable. For the first time an appropriation, with which it is intended to provide some needed public facilities, has been secured, through the medium of the constituted authorities, the Board of Supervisors. . With the $10,000 appropriated for this purpose, it is pro- posed to erect a comfortable and commodious shelter where women and children particularly, may spend a day upon the shore at no other expense, if need be, than the cost of their transportation to and from the Island. In connection with this structure, it is intended to make some very simple provision for the sale of bread, crackers, sandwiches, tea, coffee, milk and fruit at very little in excess of cost price, with a view to provide persons of moderate means with facilities for needed refreshments. With a portion of this appropriation it is also intended to improve the ap- pearance by grading and otherwise, of so much of the area north of the drive as the means will allow. The Commission- 50 REPORT OF THE ers have always been desirous of rendering this area more serviceable and sightly, but it was not possible for them to do so without the necessary special appropriations. - EASTERN PARKWAY. The Eastern Parkway was quite thoroughly resurfaced with Roa Hook gravel from the Plaza to Bedford avenue during the year, and some improvements and repairs were made to the roadway, drainage, &e., of the remaining portion of the road. A number of the trees have been destroyed by vicious per- sons and these should be replaced during the ensuing season. In the month of November, twenty-three electric lights were placed upon the Plaza and along the line of the Parkway as far as Bedford avenue. This more efficient mode of lighting these thoroughfares has already proved of great advantage to the driving public. PARK EMPLOYES. The stated force of the park, including the keepers ordinarily employed during the greater part of the year, represents in numbers about 150 men. During the spring and summer months the exigencies of the work require that this force should be temporarily supplemented. From one to three hundred men are thus employed for periods ranging from a single day to three months, and their services are dispensed with as soon as the extra work for which they have been employed has been accomplished. By reference to the tabulated list of employés accompanying this report, it will be found that the greater part of our regular force has been in the employ of the Commissioners for many years. Their long connection with the work has made them familiar with the details of park construction, and versatile in methods of accomplishing work, which justify their reten- tion during good behavior and efficiency. BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 51 The working force is comprised as follows: One general foreman, 1 clerk, 2 office assistants, 2 foremen of laborers, 1 foreman of carpenters, 4 mechanics, 1 draftsman, 1 skilled gardener, 1 florist, and 90 laborers of all grades, including gardeners, teamsters and ordinary laborers. Dur- ing portions of the winter months a part of this force is temporarily suspended for purposes of necessary economy. All grades of the force are employed at a fixed rate per hour, and are paid monthly in cash at the office on the park. The general foreman and foremen, together with such other men as are entrusted with the direction of any branch of the work, are experienced in their several depart- ments and have faithfully discharged the duties for which they are employed. KEEPER FORCE. The Keeper force is constituted as follows: 1 Head-keeper, or captain, 4 Assistant Head-keepers, or sergeants, 2 Station officers, 39 Keepers, which number includes five mounted officers. There are also five subordinate employes, which includes a tailor and a care-taker of clothing, one janitor, one store-yard and greenhouse watchman, and two house-cleaners. During the year there were— Two resignations, 6 discharges for cause, 1 death, 18 appoint- ments. The latter appointments were made to fill vacancies which had occurred during the past two years. Two promotions from acting sergeant to sergeant were also made during the year. Twelve keepers were suspended for various offenses against discipline, 52 REPORT OF THE There were 164 arrests, the details of which are as follows : TntoxaGation discs oiise iinet ois cites ahs lou ee 31 Disorderly conduct secc e. uk ae 34 Reckless drying sc iisiete ts hyve > oe oe 3 Hale keeping jf. tc)y eet eate denies ge 10 Pulling plants and fiowers.......: . 5.

Two dead infants were found concealed in the shrubbery and handed over to the charge of the coroner. There was one suicide and one attempted suicide. Both cases were transferred to the care of the proper authorities. There were 50 lost children, all of whom were restored to their parents. There were 12 Park concerts, commencing the 30th May and ending August 12th. From January 1st to March 1st there were 36 days of skating. Of field games on the Parade ground there were 900 games of base ball, 150 games of foot ball, 150 games of cricket, 35 games of La Crosse. ‘here were 750 picnicking parties, to whem grounds were assigned and the usual facilities extended. Of this number there were 300 gatherings of considerable size, numbering from 150 to 2,500. These latter comprised Sunday School and Church organizations of a very considerable number of the different churches of all denominations of this city. There were 700 parties of children, to whom swings were assigned for the day on special application. METEOROLOGY. There will be found accompanying my report the usual meteorological statistics for the year. The formulated obser- vations are supplied weekly to the Department of Health of this city, and serve as a medium of exchange for similar in- formation to that Department with the health boards of all the principal cities of the Union. 54 REPORT OF THE Our records are frequently called for by direction of the courts to supply meteorological information in legal controver- sies.
