O knihe

Excerpt from Second Annual Report of the Park Commission of the City of Allegheny: January 1st, 1870

The attention of your Honorable Bodies, and the public generally, is directed to the full and complete report of Mr. Chas. Davis, Superintending Engineer of the Park, which accompanies this Report. The operations on the Park last year, as also the general progress of the work from its commencement, are set forth in detail in that Report'; and little, if any thing, remains to be said, further than the Park Commission have approved everything contained therein.

In the First Annual Report of the Park Com mission, it is stated that Seminary Hill was re garded as the finest natural object of the Park Improvement, but owing to the fact that Councils had failed to procure or authorize the necessary legis lation, no progress had been made in the work. It was intimated, however, in the Report, that the Commissioners had not abandoned that part of the plan, and looked forward to the time when Councils would cheerfully approve the necessary legislation. Only one year has elapsed Since that prediction when it is more than fully realized.

By almost unanimous consent of Councils, the Act of Assembly giving the Park Commission not only control of that portion of the hill owned by the city, but authorizing the purchase of the necessary adjacent property, so as to make a desirable ap proach to the summit of the hill, has been approved, and subsequently enacted into a law.
