AT THE EXECUTIVE MANSION
The necessary repairs have been made here
The conservatory Is SO much decayed that there

RECOMMENDATIONS.
The necessity for additional watchmen upon
parent from year to year. The number should
be increased for the protection Of the parks and
the property In them, and also to protect those
who visit the squares for their personal pleas
ure and comfort. The necessity OF putting In
order many OF the unimproved reservations.
particularly those on Capitol Hill In the Vicinity
OF the extensive private Improvements made In
that section OF the city, is strongly urged The
points requiring immediate attention are
Seward Place, North Carolina avenue, between
I'd and Sd streets; South Carolina avenue, be-
tween 4th and 9th streets; and the several tri-
angular reservations lying along these avenues
