the best ticket that could have been made. II We

Col Rockwell, commissioner of public buildings

rangements for improving and beautirying, as far
as possible, the various public reservations for the
present year. The sundry civil bill does not make
as ample provisions for the work was desired In
some instances, and the work will be hampered In
consequence. Twenty thousand dollars was ap-
propr1ated for the improvement OF reservation No
u, and this work will be continued during the year.
Roads ana walks in the northeastern portion OF the
reservation win probably be laid out at an early
day. For Improving the White Lot only six thous-

Ten thousand dollars was appropriated last year,
