In it's annual report presented to the common council the park board show. Cd what had been done at Mohegan park in the past year in road H0rk, reforesting after cutting down the chestnut trees, and ill care of the nenagerie.
 The report was in part as follows:
 In the report of 8 year ago it was stated that there remained for conple-i ton about 1850 feet of the road known as the Taftville entrance and that special effort would be made to finish this main entraneeway by the end Of the municipal year. This work was pushed ahead throughout the fall and, as there was favora ble weather until very late in the season, the task has been finished and the gratifying and long desired result attained Of com- pleting such road construction as was laid out for that land which is already in the city's possession. Whether any other main Toad will be constructed may depend entirely upon the city's acquiring some time the land around the northeriy end of tic lake. posses sion which would give the opportunity to erFcircle completely that beautiful body Of water with 3 roadway upon the eity's own property. It is certaii1- ly to be hoped that the land needed for 50 desirable an improvement will in due season be owned by the city.
 From the Taftville entrance the best view can eb had that is obtainable in the park. Along the entire course. a mile and one e-sixtf in length. one finds the situa ton attractive and in keeping with the beautiful scenery prevailing throughout the park. but from OK Hill particularly can be had a view of the surrounding country equailirg in beauty any scene which this part of the state can present. It is hoped that the public in constantly increasing numbers will use this road. if only fof the purpose Of being able to bear wit ness to the special natural attraesive- ness of our part Of the state which is noted for scenery not merely pictur- esque but often sublime.

ture was that many members did not
have more to say about their ances-

did not fail to advertise. One said
his firm originated a well-known
cloth, another that he brought the
first automobiles into this country
from Europe, and another that he is
president OF a press clipping bureau.
One member was raised on a dairy
