Rrooklyn :

The Brooklyii Park Commissioners, in accordance wit11 the requirements of t l ~ e statute, present herewith their report for the year eliding December 31, 1884.

There will be fouild appended statenients showing in detail the moneys recei~ed nild the sources whence they were derived, together wit11 the full and circumstantial exhibit of the expenditures for all purposes during the year.

The Con~missioiiers are gratified to state that a moderate increase in the appropriatioil for the mdntena~ice of the parks will relieve, to some extent, the difficulties attendant upon the discharge of their respoiisibilities for the ensuing year.

The need of a stated annual fund for construction purposes in the developmelit a i d improvemelit of ullfinislled portions of the ,Park, becomes more apparent each year.

4 REPORT OF THE

Tllis is particularly the case with regard to that, portion of the Park lying along Ninth avenue, from Third to Fifteenth street, forming the soutlleasterly boulldary of the Twenty- second Ward, and contignous to the Eight11 Ward of this city.

Tlie commpletioil of this work, in accorclance with the origillnl clesign of the Parlc, ~voulcl greatly aid in assuring a deservedly high cilarncter for tlle contignous property. It would i n ~ ~ i t e improvelnents inuring to the benefit of the city, while i t ~vould se'cure ail ample return to its treasury, many times in excess of the outlay, tllrougll the increased assessable value of the propert~r thus inlprovecl.

I11 regard to the policy of selling the remainder of the east side lands, it has not been tlloagllt desirable to dispose of them pending the litigi~tioa wllicll the city is now pressing to an issue as fast as practicable.

For the details of tlle morlc me refer yon to the accompany- ing report of the Cllief Eagineer and Sn:)erinteiiclent.

REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER A N D SUPERINTENDENT,

OFFICE OF CIITFP ENGINEER AND SUPERINTEUDENT, BL~OQICLYK, December 1, 1884.

T o the B~ooX,Ign, Pa.1-7c Com~rzissioncr.~. GE?~TTLEMEN :

Tl1e work of tlte Commissioners during the past year Eras been mainly coilfilled to t l l ~ t for which its princil3al fund is pro\-ided, vie, the mnitlteiiaiice of the several Parks, Parkways, & c.

Our operations, of iiecessitp, have been limited to the current and seasonable demands made npon us by the public for the appropriate uses of these several works, the object llaviilg been to extend a11 t l ~ e facilities in our power to visitors, aiid a t the same time, ns far as possil)le, reserve from destructioii the grounc-lworli of the pi*incil)al irnpro~ements in our charge. I t is unnecessary, therefore, to make more tlran passing alll~sion to the coiiclitiorl of the parks in detail, ~vllicll, for need of a more liberal provision for exp~irditure c-l~~ring the period ~vli icl~ has intervened since our coustructiorr fund was exhausted, tell years ago, have snfiilred from cl~teviorations caused by use and exposure, l'ar l)eyor~d tllc lin~itations of real economy. This state of facts llns I)een so collsta~tlltly reiterated as to fully en- lighten the public in regard to our restricted financial resources, and has j~xstly (leterred criti~isiii as to the conditioii of important parts of the worlz t o whicll, ~vi th a liberal fiznd at our disposal, we: would o t l ~ ~ ~ r n i s e be exposed. I t has beell demand- ed of us, during t l ~ e year, n cavefill and eco~lomical acijustinent of our meails to meet tlle rcqlxiren~ents made upon us.

Notwitllstancling the many disaclvantagas under whicll we have lnbor~cl for a iruinber of pears, as regards our ability to do all tlrat xvould seen1 to be desirable, the parks 11ave never before beerr put to SI IC~I general and apparently satisfactory use by the people. This is in part the evideilce and result of an

6 REPORT OF THE

increased appreciation of the means afforded for recreation, and in part to some modificatioil of the prestige of Coney Island as a resort, interest in which prevailed so generally among our people a few years ago. This greatly increased use during the last two years has been specially noteworthy. As a resort for picaicking, the Park seems to have permanently taken the place of many resorts ~ v l ~ o s e imperfect accommoda- tioils niid meretricious attractions had previously afforded opportnility for out-door pleasuriag to large numbers of people. During the past year the scllool and cllurch organizations (statistical details of which will be found elsewhere), without regard to sect, have found congenial ancl acceptable facilities at the Park; it having acquired a deserved repute for comfort, variety of entertainment, and freedom from annoyance and danger. These attractions, together with the accessibility of the grounds, have establishell for them a permanent reputation in almost every way as a desirable resort. The provisions for other special out-door recreation, such as lawn tennis, croquet, archery, bicycling, cricket, lacrosse, foot-ball and base-ball, miniature yacht sailing, ice boating, ancl other winter sports on the ice, have been cheerfully ostendecl to large numbers in a belief that the eaconraqeilzent of sllcl~ uses of the Park were in harmoily ~v i th the ideas governing those who planned it; ~vhicEl in snbstance xere to make it, as far as possible, available to the whole public for every proper and reasonable pleasure. These provisions, to a large extent, are not comnloil to public parks generally, and in arranging accommodations for some of them a considerable expeiiditure of money was required. This has caused the diversion of a portioil of our limited funds from the more specific requirements of maintenailce work, but the results of these expenditures have contributed so directly to t l ~ e comfort and pleasure of all classes of our citizens that i t can hardly be made the subject of regret.

The principal features of the work of the year have been the renewal of the surfaces of portions of our road systern; made necessary by their condition as to wear, ordinary deterioration and superficial treatment, to which they had been subjected.

BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIOKERB. 7

The East Drive, averaging forty-five feet in width, from . near Battle Pass to the southerly entrance of the Park, the length being about 5,200 feet, was re-surfaced with Roa Hook gravel, involving an aggregate expenditure for labor and material of nearly eleven thousand (11,000) dollars.

The gravel is in all respects similar to that used in the original construction of the roads on Central Park, and was procured from a remarkable deposit of this material on the Van Courtlandt estate at Roa Hook, on the Hudson river, a short distance above Peekskill. It seems probable that though expensive as t'o cost of transportation, kc., it is the best natural product out of which to construct drives for pleasure riding that has yet been brought into use.

The repairs to this portion of the Park drives amounted substantially to a partial reconstruction, and iiivolved a pro rata expenditure for the year, for this class of work, out of pro- portion to the amount available for such purpose from our yearly stipend. Being, however, a part of the principtli clrive of the Park and forming practically the main thoroughfare in connection with the Parkway to the Island, the public have enjoyed and no doubt appreciated the increased comfort and facilities which this renovated roadwork has afforded.

The coveririg of gravel was limited to a thickness of three inches-with this we sllall proba1)ly be enabled to maintain a fair surface for two or three seasons, when it will be required to be renewed.

The removal of the old buildings at the junction of Fifteenth street and the city line during the previolls year enabled us to carry through the line of the roadway and to define the entrance at that point. The lines of walk on either side were also opened and graded, and these, together with the contiguous surfaces, which were roughly shaped, have been left in an unfinished condition, awaiting opportunity to renew operations next Spring. Scarcity of suitable soil for s~zrfacing in this neighborhood may make i t necessary to procure the required

8 REPORT OF THE

material from distant points a t an incre:~secl expeilditure, otherwise superficial treatment, wllicll ill tlle matter of soil for turf an(i planting must always prove uneco11omic:~l i11 the end, must be substituted.

A well kept turf of v igoro~~s g r c i ~ ~ t11 freclnently cant, :LS is the custom dnrii~g the summer season, is very exl i ;~ust i~e of tlle sustenni~ce contained in tlle soil, and nltless this is restore(1 by frequent apl~lications of manure or other fertilizers, will result in a deteriori~ted and scarity sul)ply of gri~ss.

A considerablr espeiiclitnre T I ~ L S 8150 reqnirecl i ~ t tlre TFTell. This i-lrnonnted in part to tlle renewal of the 11l;tilt rrquire;l for operating our water service. Tlle origillal boiler, after seven- teen years' use, duri~lg \vllicll period it lli~d I~eeii frequently repaired, w;~s filially co~rcle~nned by tllr of'iicii~l Inspector, :~ild ;L new wrought-iron liorizontal tnl)uli~r I)oill:r of ilicreasecl capecity was put in i ts place. Tlle c o ~ c i i ~ i g of the ~vell was also entirely rene~ved.

The strncture known as tlle ~ronleliade Drive Sllelter, on the s o ~ ~ t l l side of the P;~rl<, Tvas retlncecl in lleigllt by the ren~oval of iL considerable part of the whole. Tire origiilal illtention was to equip this frai~ie work with a, series of :~wnings for tlle pro- tection of the public, wit11 the expectation tlli~t i t mould ill-\rite visitors to gather a t this point to vien the driving, &c.; but the distance from inally points of the I'iwk i ~ v d its central resol-ts, - - would seem to suggest too rriilote ;L contingeilcj to justify t l ~ e comp;%ri~tively expeilsire mainte~ii~ncc wllicl~ tlle iclen p~~ilctically ca r i ed out woulcl involve, ancl has suggested tlle modification wllicll has beell accomplished.

The lease of tlle Litcllfielcl J I i~nsio~l expired cluriilg the rnontll of January of this year. Tlie I~uilding, ~vitllout moclifi- cation in any ilnportant pi~rticulitr cf its interior arrai~gerr~ents, was put to use for the adminstratioll okfices of tlie Comnlission in the nlontll of April. me Litcllfielci Mansion l o e i ~ g - n d y -z-clQ f here were r n i i n y - d ~ ~ z 6 ~ ~ s t r o e t i o u that needed repair, together wit11 consider:~ble pi~inting of out- side work-i~ nem heating apparatus ~vns put in-since which time it has served a s a convenient executive lleadqnarters.

BROOKILYN PALIK COMMIRSIONERS. C)

Repairs and paii~ting to the permanent buildings, bridges and rustic work were made necessary by their deteriorated condition and their increased use.

Owing to the wide-spread interest in lawn tennis playing, all the available space in the picnic house shelter was fitted up with lockers for the storage of the clothing, nets, kc., of the players. A portion of the basement of the Litellfield Mansion has also been temporarily fitted up for the purpose.

The Park fences, to wllicll attention has been called in previous reports, were in bad corldition and have required a great deal of repair during the yew. The lei~gtll of the en- closing fence is nearly four miles, ant1 the frequent renewal of posts, pickets, bottom boards, kc., involved a considerable outlay for labor aiid material, and will continue to do so until replaced by a more sightly a i d substantial substitnte.

I n addition to the features of the ~vorlr thus specially noted, the force has been busily engaged throughout the pear on usual maintenance work, il~cidelltal to the several works under our charge.

I n the early winter months, and particularly during the prev- alence of skating, sleigl~iiig and other winter sports, the care of the ice and roads, remov:~l of sno~v, hc. , required the services of our entire force. A number of snow storrns at frequcrlt -

irltervals during January and February proved sornen~hat em- barrassing in view of the fact that the cleaning of the small parks throughout the city was required to be provided for simultaneously with the other exacting deniands of the season.

The work of general restoration in the Spring corresponds very much to that of the old fashiorrsd custom of house cleaning which everywhere prevails. The road surfaces had been broken up by the frost and were generally repaired. The turf, spaces and plantatioils littered with dead leaves, decayed wood, &c., were thorougllly cleaned, the water courses, silt basins and drainage system were overhauled, and the deposits carried into them by the storms removed. Considerable pruning was

2

nEPORT O F THE

done as late in the season as was ~ermi t t ed , and a number of evergreens aud other plants removed from crowded plantations and transferred to more open and desirable sites. With the advent of Spring the more general use of the Park as a resort became apparent. As soon as the turf was in a suitable condition to he iised for field games, lamii tennis, archery ancl croquet was established ancl ~ a r t i c i ~ a t e d in by their nuincrous votaries. These sports continued mitllout interruption until Thanksgiving Day.

Over two hundred regularly organized tennis clubs were provided with courts ancl lockers during the sunimer. For this purpose alone, nearly twenty acres of the Long Meadow were used, the grass was cut as frequently as three times :I week, and the courts marked out ancl otl~er~vise maintained without charge of any kind to those seeking recreation in t l~ i s form, at the Park.

The Allnual Sunday Scl~ool Meeting and Parade occiiured on the 21st day of May. The schools gathered together in three divisions a t different points, rvhere seats for 12,000 chilclren, stands for speakers, kc., were erected, aild tlie whole space, including the north end of the Long Meadow, was enclosed for the manceuvres which followed the usual ceremonies. The weather was in all respects favorable, ant1 it is estimated that -.

from 25,000 to 30,000 persons visited the Park and witnessed the ceremonies and parade.

On Sunday, the 25t11, tlie customary memorial services under the auspices of the Grand Army of the Eepublic mere held at the Lincoln monumeiit on the Plaza a t the Park aiid a t the tomb of the prisoil ship martyrs at Fort Greene. The usual arrangements were made for the accomn~odatioa of tlle public. The Lincoln statue was profusely decoratecl with plants and flowers, many of mllich were contributed for the purpose by the pupils of Public Schools Nos. 9, 15, 39 and 42.

On the 28th of May, exercises were held by the St. Patrick Society of this city, com~nemorative of the birthday of the poet Moore, at the Pedestrian Concourse.

BROOKLYN PARK COMMISSIONERS. 11

A meeting of the Eastern Archery Association, under the auspices of the Brooklyn Archery Club, mas held at the Archery Grounds in the Park on Decoration day. The picnic season commenced with Anniversary day, aiid throughout the months of June, July, August an6 September, the grouiids were almost daily occupied by church, school and other organizations, together with marly social and family parties.

The skating season commenced on Jauuary 4, 1883, and ceased March 5, 1884, niaking a total of twenty-six days of skating for the season of 1883 and 1884.

The weather tllroughout this periocl, was very favorable for winter sports, Nearly fifty acres of ice was frequently used by the public, who enjoyed every facility for skating, ice-boat sailing, curling and other winter ice sports. Snow storms caused the principal interruption to an otherwise more frequent daily use of the ice. Tlie attendance was greatly in excess of previous seasons, aiid at tiines our public buildings were insufi- cient for the purpose. No serious aceidelit occurred during this period. Tlie first coiicert of the season occurred on Sat- urday, Juile 7th, and continued throuphout the month of June, July ancl August, malting thirteen concerts in all. The music was furiiislied by Mr. Luciano Conteriio of this city, under whose direction there was given a most satisfactory series of concerts.

The season for field sports at the Parade Ground opened in the moiitl~ of May, anci the grounds were occupied, with scarcely any intermission, during the remaining fine weatl~er of the year. Aside from the iiumeronsly organized base-ball, cricket, lacrosse and foot-ball clubs, composed of youth and adults, to whom grounds have been assigned for the season, over 1,000 general permits were issued for otlier of this character. On Saturdays, frequently, and on special holidays, we were at times unable to meet the dernailds rnadr upon 11s.

B ic~c le and tricyle riding has greatly increased during tlie year. Tlie use of the Park for tliis purpose lias been restrictecl to the walks, where, with such regulations as i t was desirable to

12 REPORT OF THE

impose, ample facilities were afforded without serious inter- ference wit11 the privileges of others. The use of the Eastern Parkway, the Ocean Parkway and the Concourse at Coney Island, has been permitted ~vithout limitation and with no apparent conflict with the comfort or safety of drivers. The principal riders are expert in the management of their machines ancl conform to the rules which have been in part made up froin their o~vn experience. So long as these rules are intelli- gently con~pliecl ~vitll I see no reason to modify the provisions for using the Park for those seeking recreation in this manner.

As to tlie unfiilislrecl portions of the Park, to which reference is frequently made, comprising more particularly the considerable unimprovecl area along the westerly boundary of the P:~rli lying along the extreme limits of the Twenty-second and corltiguous to the Eighth Ward of this city, i t may be said that suggestions favoring the renewal of construction work is entitled to the careful :ittention of the Commissioners. The tendelley of in~provenient in the earlier years of construction carried tlle wol-lr tin-ough the main body of the area, its principal features following the trend of travel to~varcls the southerly entrance. Our means, which hacl been proviclecl by law for construction purposes, mere exhausted ten years ago, sirice which time the area just referred to along Ninth avenue and Fifteenth

J street llas rernainecl in a state of incompletion. This, at the time of the cessation of the work, attracted no especial attention or criticism in view of the generally uninlproved state of that portion of the two wards alludecl to, bordering upon and adjacent to the Parlz. Since then, however, the property of the neigllborhoot-l has recovered to a substantial degree from the effects of the general financial depression which prevailed in 1873, the tr,znsft.rs of property at improved prices, which afford every proi~lise of stability, ancl the erection of numerous buildings throughout the district, inclicate the early attainment of a lligll class reputation for tlle whole veste ern slope of the Park.

, Tlls conformation of tlle are:& from Flatbush avenue to Fifteenth street, and even beyond, and extending nearly to the


borders of the unsightly neigliborliood to the south of Fifth avenue, combines to a notable degree, in its sloping surface nild the character of the uliderlyillg material, conditions in every way favorable for a permanently healthy dwelling place. The few irregularities in tlie surface which h i ~ ~ ~ e served in the past to impede tempor:rrily the passage of the surface water, have almost all beell removed, and mill soon entirely disappear by reason of tlle improvenleilts in progress or of those sooli to follow.

The completioii of the streets by suitable pavenients and a perfected sewerage will entirely remove the possibility of annoyance which often arises from arrested ground water per- colating throtigh the surface. The numerous excavatioiis that are being made from tinle to time for tlie foundations of buildings, clisclose to the most casu:~l observer, tlle fact that the substratas of gravel a i d sand afford tlie most favorable conditions for the rapid carrying off, by natural drainage, of any water that nzay find its way tllrougli tlle surface, ancl that dry foundations in cellars must of necessity be tlle rule.

The geological structure of the Park, as ~voulcl seem quite natural, is in the niain a counterpart of that just referred to. The system of drainage and the care of surface water is probably as co~nplete as can be found in the country, while it is also the fact, to be demonstrated at any time, that no deleterious influences to health exist upon the Parlz that could be charged with affecting in any degree, disadvantageously, the healthful- ness of the circu~njacent territory. The waters that flow illto tlle lake of the P n ~ k , and the water in the lake itself, throughout any seasoil of the year, is more suit;tk)le for potable purposes than the water supply that exists to-day for several communities of people not many miles from this city. The presence of vegetation during the summer months in portions of the lake is entirely natural, and is common to bodies of fresh water and streams everywhere. This vegetation consists of a minute :~nd inferior plant believed to he of the Lemna order, commollly known as duckweed, alldl is blown over the surfaces from the shores, where i t is first developed, into the inlets and narrow

14 REPORT OF THE

bays of the lake and presents an unsightly appearance throughout portions of the season, but that i t has ever seriously affected the health of any one, it is not believed. ~ h ; s much may be said in answer to occasional public reference to this subject.

A comparison, at this time, of the progressive assessments of d u e of the Twenty-second Ward particularly, would seem to justify the coiiclusions as to the importance of interests to be favorably operated upon by the further improvement of the unfil~ished portions of the Park. I n like manner the interests of the Eighth and Ninth Wards mould be benefited to an important degree.

Within this particular area of the Park referred to, portions of the surface have been worked over, and will remain as they now are permanently. The walks have been outlined and graded, but no permanent superstructure has as yet been put upon them, with the exceptioil of that connecting with the Ninth street entrance. Tlle plantations are inconlplete and will require modifications ancl additions in important particulars.

Tlle permanent occupatioil of the Litchfield Mansion for p+rk pnrposes suggests the openiiig for public uses, of tlle section lying between it and tlle Ninth street entrance, which has remailled to tlle present time in a condition substantially as originally taken. A very considerable amount would be involved, necessarily, in the improvement of this area, but with suitable treatment ~vould be found to add greatly to the resources of the Park. No particular estimates haye been made as to the cost of this coiltemplated work, and the amount necessary for the purpose would be controlled elltirely by the perfection of detail to mllicll the Com~nissioners shall ultimately commit themselves, and to the extent ~vhich i t would be desirable to carry on the ~vorli in harmoay with the original design, but an early coasicler:ttion of the question, in view of the valuable iiiflueiices that would quickly result from this work, is undoubtedly desirable.


Other hut less important sections 1-emaiii in an unfinished state. Of these, that in the neighborhood of the Willink entrance, running south along Ocean avenue, is one. The neighborhood of the entrance just opened at the junction of Fifteenth street and the City line is another.

Of important structures contemplated, the completion of the bridge :tt a site already established, adjacent to the temporary bridge over the northern inlet of the Lake, is perhaps one that would justify the earliest consideration on the part of the Commissioners. The erection of a bridge at this point and t l ~ e modifications of the cirive across it, which would result in a material improvement in the grades, would justify at the same time the contiiluation of work upon tlle unfinished surfaces of the slope and portions of tlle Peninsula, bordering upon the Li~ke. Within a short distance of t,liis permanent bridge site i t has been tlle intentioil to erect the hotel, mliicll ilaturally would be of more ambitious design than any structure now in use upon t,l~e Park. The site is a comm;~nding and accessible one, and woulcl afford froin its piazzas and ~vindoms ail outlook upon the Lake, and woulcl comprehend in a broad vista the interrnec'liate section of the Island between the Park and tlie Island, and an expansive view of the ocean itself.

). The want of suitable provision for restaurant facilities, for the temporary care of horses a i d vehicles, and such acconl- nioclation as visitors, pm.ticularly in carriages, demand, 21:~s greatly emphasized the criticisms as to the want of such accom- modation which has followed upon the great increase in pleasure riding in the community during the past ten years.

The Lookout Hill neighborhood, a considerable portion of which is utilized as a site for the Park Reservoir, has been intended to be used as a site for an observatory, the position being every way favorable, and perhaps without parallel for such purposes in either city, in view of tlle fine outlook to be afforded from such elevatioii as the contemplated structure would command. While minor portions of the Park must of necessity require more attention and expenditure than their

1 6 REPORT OF THE

proportional sElnre of the preseiit m;~intenaiice flmd would snfEcxe for, tlie features contempli~ted ill tlie origin:!l constrnc- tioil just ennmer;ttecI ;&re by far the ~ilost important, ailcl are probably rlanied in the orcler of interests, from a public point of view, to which they are entitled.

Of the \vork xvllich it is dcsir;~ble to outliile for tlle ensuing year, the conti111r;~tion of reslurfaciug the n~airi drives will merit the earliest attention. Itesuming operations a t tlie poiilt where they were cliscoiltir~ned last yeilr, via., at the junction of tlie clrives at the southerly entrance o f the Park, i t is iilttended to co~ltinl~e the repairs to the road superstructure on the main line parallel wit11 the old Coney Isli~11d road, Fifteenth street and Ninth :%venue, constructing a new 1)ranch clrive to Litell- fielcl Mi~11sio11, and conti~~uillg the worl; tlience towttrd the main entrance. The leilgtli of surfi~ce to be ~vorlied owr, tlle roadway being geilerally in bad condition, is between one iand two miles, and when completed, if we sllall be able to clo so, will furnish a restored road surface upoil the rn;~in circuit drive aggregating

lle~gth of between three and four miles. Repairs to the otlier clrires, to tlie bridle roads aiid portio~ls of the more iinportant ~vt~llc lilies are also conte111l)l;~tecl.

T l ~ e coriditioi~ of the luisoltl p o r t i o ~ ~ of the e i ~ ~ t siclo lands, wit11 reg;trd to ~vlricl~ any present action on tlle part of the Corn- nlissioners is held in abeyance, owing to sollie trcllnical clues- tioils concerniiig inatters of title ~vllich have bee11 raised, soon to be finally clisposecl of by tlle conrts, it is believed, llss been made the occasio~i of criticism of the Cor~~uiissioners, as to ile- lay in their ultimate clisposal. After the sale of a large number of these lots at the public auction, tvllicll took place in 1881, t l ~ e failure to cornplete tlie purchase, on tllr part of a purchaser, has teilded to retard their improvenirnt up to the present time. I t is not comtemplated that any furtl~er ii~debteclness shall be incurred iii conaection with them, beyond such as mill be iiicidental to a furtlier sale, but public sentiinelit undoubtedly favors an early disposal of tlle property still belonging to the city, in order that i t shall not, from their abandoned condition, continue to operate against the general character of the neigh-


borhood, and that the further benefits to accrue from a sale and the improvement of i t sllall commence to operate in favor of the city's interest. Such a sale, not involving absolute" sacrifice of the property, and its transfer to private owners, even a t moderate prices, u~oulcl result in bonefits from several sources ~vllicll are not now possible to be availed of. The amount to be derived from their sale and, subsequently, from taxes, upon an increased valuation and improvement, would quickly add a considerable revenue to the city, while the influence to be exerted by the developmeilt of t'he area, generally, upon other sections of tEle neighborhood, would represent a considerable money value and prove a creditable auxiliary to the available resources so desirable a t this time, with which to meet the general financial engagements of the city.

t SMALL PARKS.

No special features of work upon the small parks of the city call for particular mention a t this time. They have been maintained in :LS good condition as was possible under the cir- cumstances, and have been largely used as neigllborood resorts ; their increased use woulcl justify a more liberal expenditure, especially in the case of Fort Greene. The large structure of wood on tlle higher portion of this park, used as a shelter and resting place, is very much out of repair and should be replaced by a more substantial one. It is proposed, however, to make i t temporarily servicable by necessary repairs during the coming season.

Tennis playing a t Fort Greene and Tompkins Park was permitted throughout the season to the fullest extent afforded by the turfed, spaces available. An additional police service upon these parks, which is conteniplated for next year, will add to the further security of the public.

During the year 8 portion of the flagstone forming the plaza in front of the City Hall was removed. The underlying material was replaced -cvitli soil and coGered with turf. This effected a desirable change in the character of the area

3

18 REPORT OF THE

generally, and it is believed to have met with approval. A substantial curb of granite or bluestone may be substituted, and with such planting as the early Spring will afford opportunity for, the general effect will be considerably enhanced. . Such further in~provements of this area, together with the surrounding sidewalks of the main building as mere outlined upon plans prepared in the early part of the year, would greatly exceed any means that tlle Commission would seem to be justified in expenclii~g in the absence of special appropriations for the purpose, but the central position of the representative official structure of the city mould warrant it. Indeed the general effect and appearance of the City Hall building, due to its immediate surroundings, lack character and finish and would be greatly improved by the change suggested.

OCEAN PARK WAY

A lconsiderable portion of the main drive was repaired and resurfaced with gravel during the year and very much improved. The work upou other portions of the road will be resumed in the ensuing spring. The Col~course a t Coney Island, which had been in it very dilapidated condition, mas resurfaced with concrete in a substantial manner by Mr. J. P. Cranford of this city, at cost of $30,000, for which a special appropriation had been obtaii~ed from the County authorities. This work extended over the length and breadtll of the main roaclway for a width of 75 feet, and a length of over 2,700 feet. The irregularities of the surface required, in order to adjust it to a suitable grade, the application of material varying in depth from 2 inches to 8 inches.

The Concourse area geilerally continues to serve as a most desirable adjunct to the few resources of the Island, provided for public use, to which no expense is attachecl and entirely free from modifying and undesirable features that pertain to certain portions of the Islancl. The importailce and value of the reservation for public purposes cannot but be impressed ppon all who are familiar with the relation it bears to other portions of the Island.


With suitable means, its usefulness could be increased a hundred fold. Provisions for carrying out the project submitted for the consideration of the Supervisors would not only ,. enable the Commission to ensure to tlie citizens of Brooklyn greater comfort and enjoyment at the Island, but would increase the value of important parts of the Island itself. The interests controlled by the Coinmissio~iers for the people are too important not to have impressed upon them the responsibilities concerning its extended development as a seaside resort. I n previous reports it has been suggesteci the necessity for a more efficient police surveillance of the Island. A still more serious sub j~c t is the provision for tlie removal of sewage. No suitable plan of sewerage can be effected otherwise than by uniting a11 the interests that ~vould share its benefits. Tlie coiiditions would seem to limit the resources of engineering, within reasonable expenditures, to two projects; the first, that of the rather complex arrangement of collecting the sewage a t various points, its preparation by disinfecting processes or by compost- ing, and its frequent removal, and its use for fertilizing purposes.

The second plan would be to construct a tidal sewer, parallel with the ocean line, of suitable dimensions to meet present and reasonable future requirements, having its outlet at the west end of the Island, where all material discharged from it would reach a permanent current that would carry it away from the shore. Thelatter project would seem to be the most practicable, and would be most likely to prove the more servicable, as i t certaiillp would be the most economical in the end. It is a matter of surprise that a scheme for improving the sewerage a t the Island has not been effected, in view of its importance and of the great interests to be favorably affected by it.

The renovation of this important thoroughfare has been provided for during the coming Spring by the purchase and storage upon the line of the necessary niaterial. The renewal of tlie entire surface from the Plaza to Brooklyn avenue is contemplated as early in tlie season as will be favorable for this impor-
