Catherine street from Brook avenue 10
Monroe, and Catherine street from Gill
mer TO Bowe street; TO open DuVal street
from Sixth to Eighth street; to open Han
cock street from Leigh TO ana beyond
BOYD street; 10 open Sixth street from
near Bates street 10 point north tt

from Sixth TO Seventh street, and 70
omen Buchanan street from Lownes 10
Baldwin street.
Work on the lower section OF Shockoe
creek at the Dock was finished during
the wear. The work of improvement
should be continued, and 1 would recon-
mend that II be carried on annually, sec
ton by section, till the whole Is COM
pleted.
Plans and estimates were made for
new buildings as we'll as Tor ADDITIONS
TO the old building for the colored aims

usual repairs at the city jail and small
repairs 10 other public buildings were
made.

Square on one side is nearly restored the

be made 70 prevent further damage to the
park.
The slopes Of the terraces at several OF
the parks need protection to prevent dam
age. and 10 improve their appearance. We
have in contemplation the raising OF vines
10 plant on the slopes for this protection
and Improvement.

raised In our city nursery, at Reservoir
PARK. were planted in the parks and on
the streets Of the city; 5000 Of these were
nlanted at Reservoir Park for forest ef-
feet We should continue this to the ex-
tent Of at least 10000 trees next year.
Some steps should be taken by the police
and the citizens should also assist. In pro-
tscting the trees from horses. otherwise
we shall not only lose the young trees,
but many OF the old ones.
AT all other parks very little more than
renairs were made. Extended improve
ments are needed at CANDLES Hill, River
side PARK, and especially at New Reser-
voir Park, where the roads. lakes. and
tree planting should be carried on contin'
