lie Works Out To-day.
 Mayor Kilduff and the members of the board of public works made tour of Windemere park this afternoon. As the party passed through Grand view heights, Commissioners Alahaney called attention to the need of com pleting the storm water drainage Sys- tenn in Brooklyn as soon as possible, because. he thought the faster that hill builds up the more damage will be done in the low lands by surface water unless provision is made to carry it off. It was also remarked that the next thing the city will have to deal with i'll the water department will be providing an elevated water station for Town plot. Hans Rasmus. sen acted as guide to the party through the park and took occasion now and then to remind the officials of the value of the grant, and also of the necessity of getting it in shape SO that the present generation will de- rive some benefit from it. 1t is .a very fine tract of land, well supplied with shade trees, cosy hooks, babbling, brooks and winding ways which. after few touches from the hand of man will render it one of the most delight- full pleasure resorts ill Connecticut. One of it's enchanting charms is the music abounding in it. the almost un- ceasing singing of it's many feathered song birds, with joyous lays at all times from early spring until late i'll the fall. The catbird. the brown thrush, the bobolink, the robin, the yellowbird and other favorite singers can be found there in abundancc, to- gether with good supply of rabbits, .1aI,, md in Ia slt- reynard puts in an appearance and makes things lively for all the timid inhabitants of that beautiful resort. The board was very much pleased with the appearance of the place. but some of them were somewhat sur prised at what it will cost to put it in condition for public use.f
