City Park

The new clearing required team and labor work in clearing the soil of roots stones etc. and working upon the fence. The topgraphical survey & detailed map of this ground needs to be taken before a plan can be formulated.

Park Nursery

This Department set 2500 cuttings. 3000 new seeds, transplanted 2000 seedlings, received the 62 thouand plants, and cared for them. The percentage of damage is very light in this stock. Considering the long journey & extra delays caused by snow blockades. This Department should now be supplied with the seeds necessary for temporary decorations in the parks, as well as supplied with the seedlings named in a list presented to your Board some months ago. If the Nursery Department is properly supplied, it is the department which will in a few years save thousands of dollars to the City in the purchase of trees.
