Present—Mayor Sawdon, H. 14'. TrerwantC .D. Bostv,,,ickv
George Carnenterp Sherman Peer, Lawrence _Fh=seYo
Wanzer, B.L. Johnson, Carl Crandall.
The following possibilities of dredging work were
discussed.
1. Beebe Lake- Hydraulic dredge - To improve water supply,
water power and recreational conditions. liboiit 100,v000 yde.
to be diselmrged over dam. Financed by University.
2, Fall Creek Cov--- Hydraulic dredge- To be done after
Beebe !,e,rce work. purpo-,je to clean out Cove and -use
.aa,terial to fill swamp lqqds south of Cove and adjoin�.n-r
cl-
pre8,=nt garbage dump, also filling other near by
low lands. Financed by City.
3. Stewart Park- Hydr-odic dredge- Filling Of low land and
beach front acrOSP entire ena of Lake, dredgiriC material
from most convenient place. Also dredring of Legoon
and filling low spots in Bird Park territory. This work
must precede aTly plamtirnq -orogramrrie. Finrinced by 0te,-,nrt
Park Coni�--,isssicn-
4. gablhadtlla Creek Cove- Tiydraulio dredge- At lower end
and- E,,niall. glic,,vel for upper -reaches of "reek.
Financed by City.
S. Six ..!Ile Cleaning out channel by steam snovel.
Financed by City.
6. South? ide T act- Hydr, n�,-"tulic dredge- Dredgi , suitable
3
outlet channels and. filling low land near Fz:i1r ground
anj to the south, -partly outside of City limit?. Possibly
steam shovel could be i.ised on City line ditch and some
of tho other small channels. Fin _aced by 2ity.
7. yisc, other Low Lands in City- To be filled by ashes
and garbage method.
8. six Vile Creek-Water supply- Hydraulic dredge- to clean
out potter' s Falls Reservo1r, Thirty foot drr, F.rd
possibl') anNntta D,=. steam shovel might be used at
upper end of Potter' s -,'a-1.1s dam during rirter qeason.
Financed by City.
9. Cayuga Inlet- Hydraulic dredge- To be cleaned out as
a-acessary after other work is done. Finneed by Stczte of
York.
It was suggested that for the 1925 season that the University
might proceed with and com=plete the Beebe Lake job- 1, th,,?,t the
Stewart Park Commission might proceed with 50,000 cubic yds or
not to exceed an expenditure of $25,000. That the City might
proceed with 50,000 cubicyds. or not to exceed $25,000. at
Fall Creek Cove.
It war,.,* directed that o.i). Bostwick and Carl Crandall
should comimL-liica t e wit'., atilt; State Department of fit.?bl i c Works
to ascertain tire ->os�ibility of renting ^ estate Dredge and also
to obtn in a list of dredging ron tractors. 3SMS parti es
are also to '�dvertise fog aids on the proposed 200,000 yards
of work for 1925. It-:-1vould be necessary for the propex
bodies to approve before, the actur,,l u©ntrcte_t 0- ,' be let.
Ob n.cc;ous t of the many, Interests involved, it does not seem
cxuite practical to actually' purchase a dre0ge on a 00--operative
basis. The sentiment was expr esned that the City should
however purchase a small steam j-iove:, this sesxs�n s.t 'In estimated
cost of 1,010 0.
It was directed that this report should be trans itted.
to the Roard of Public Works �,.t their next meet rig.

SUGGESTED PROGYM 1933.
The following sugg wits the hope that they
estions are presented v
may be of value in formulating a profjram, for the present season.
They are the result of study and consj.jltation with others interested
in the j-1,aprovement of Stewart Park, to furnish the greatest possible
recTeation- to the largest nut-Aber of -persons. These items have all
been discussed at different times in- iaeetin,,_,;s of the Corvaission and
are here presented to bring, thei,.i all under one heading for convenience.
BOATS CANO'CS DOCKS
Bybreas ns of the L location o4' the Park, on the Lake and w-LT
r ounde d
on three sides by rater boating should be one of the features. In
calm weather the Lai-,-,.e and in Tough weather Fall Creek offers an
opportunity of adequate boatin.-,-,; facilities. All that is lacking
is the boats. The fact that this is a new feature makes it jr,1possible
to interest a concessionaire to invest the necessary money for
equipment. It seems then if this desirable feature is to be adl.&ed
that it jaust be done by the paflc itself. The followin seems to be a
minimum requirei-aent; g50.00
Canoes 6 a $25.00 - 390-00
Boats 6 a 65.00--
T fit al Y-5 .00
In addition to this equipment it would be necessary to build
a simple dock or landing float to facilitate the loading and unloading
of passengers and to beach and launch the boats and canoes. Ts ii is
estimated at 4, ,1640.00.
, 100.00 which would make the total 1w
RADIO EQUIPJAE—NT
An er has been su vested by -,,,Thich special broadcasts
-�'
such as band concerts, and important addresses could be heard by a
large number of people on the Park cgrounds. Thi s would be an
attraction especially With such broadcasts as the Goldman Band
in central Park. This installation is estiiiiated at 800-00-.
It is the foundation of a public addre ss system rhereby a speaker
in the Park ,'.iay be heard any where in tl.,.e Park or in a boat on the Lake.
EXHIBITS
It is suggested that we add to our exhibit of animals deer and
,��ray squirrels. The deer might be kept in the woods south of the Park
and add interest to the existing walks tl'arourji this area* The
squiT---els could be kept in the Park Droper and in time wo-ald become
tame enouSh to eat o-,, t of hand. Other vnriety of birds such as pheasants
would also be interestin9p $200 would perhsp be ample at this time,
the thought being to add only varieties Which can be easily iaaintalned.
ROADS We have a start on an excellent road systera. Good foundations of
stone and acovering of gravel. This requires, however, that they be
oiled yearly to keer down the dust. They riust also be -onatched yearly
where holes If a treatment si,11ilar to that at the entrance
could be given I the roads in the Park, the result would be a nermanebt
Toad with practiccaly no maintenance. This is has been estimated
at anproxi',irttely 0. Vlhile this is an fig;-Lare , it is
cheap for a hard -oaveraent and will no doubt be done sore tine.

CA1,12 SITE
The camp site, just east of the PaTic is at present an eye sore
situated as it ic at the ParLr enyrance. Plans for its i�-"Provev-ient are
before yo � and sho-ald be carried out soon as possible. Tt is
planne6 to Ynake a large loop using the present road in frcr-t of the
jTotel as two sides, Inside tlie loop -should be located a pavillon
of a simple type such as log cabin style to house toilet for raen and
women, a sink where dishes may be washed, tables to eat uT..)on in
rainy we,:1JU'"-1Xe.- and perhpps a large fire place. The tents could then be
pitched both on the inside and outside of the loop, and be served
by the central building. The cost of this improve7inent is estimated
as follows:
Gradini-
Planting 500
Cabin 2.000
PLANITING
A considerable amount o.L' -olanting re-Ciains to be done to
supiole.-,ient what has already been done. 17ild flowers on the banks of
tne strearis.. ground covers, rind flowering, plants should be added
yearly to build up the flora to its --qaxiYnum beauty. A s-iall yearly
appropriation would acconplid'n this rewalt.
ESPLANADE
a-o-,-)earance of the so called Es-olanade is most unsatisfactory.
'The nlan cailed for tr,"ils through t'he natural flora. This has
resaited- in a t----il running through large areas of skurac cabbage and
cow parsnips which are not pleaswat. It is su&---,Zeeted t1iat �?P-00 be
apT)roT)riated to i,,gprove a section of thts area as a sample. Then
the plan could be extended in follo-,.4ring years until t;Le whole area
had bE;e-,a covered. This method would brin-.", a rradu, - -orove!nent
al
and would not call for a naj or outlay of funds in eoiy one year.
It has been siX--:;ested that the 1,arge floor of the Wait boathouse
be utilized as a ,.iuseirft starting with exhibits of our native birds. This
seems like an excellent use of this space. It is further attractive
in that it can be had at practically no e-voense. In fact the cases
for the exhibits are already on the grotuid and Dr. Allen only recuires
that the caretaker be hioused in the building. This brings up
the question of the apartment for the caretaker, which has been
considered in the nast and should be restudied.

Dear Mr. Corcilius:
With reference to your inquiry regarding the success of our
Soft Ball Season of 1916 under the floodlights, I am pleased to state thpt
the results have more than met our most optimistic ho-oes.
Our attendance at the games increased 62 of the nartici-oation
of those in our "Y" League increased 760% and our receipts from collections
at games have more than covered the operating expenses.
j In addition to this the night games have aroused City wide
interest in soft ball as sponsored by our "Y" which indirectly has brou<-,ht
very favorable comment to our "Y".
I am glad to recommend night soft ball as an activity which
any "Y" might under similar circumstance be proud to sponsor.
Very truly yours,
G. W. JENKINS

-ests, thcrcfo u t. t Llicy be conaidered ris "extraordinaryll ;
especially since the. revenues from 1936 thru 1.931 hr vex exceeded

Those ex:)enditures, he explains furt'nor, include not
only fall .maintenance of Vic-, cou-se,, to treatment of Mle
road around it, but such capital izraprov,",I,ents Ins addition of
hazards, fill1nr,-,, mrid re-scedinc of lo-,,r spots and construction
of a new green.
burin- the past +.N,,)o ye<r ra th-re has been an incroading

Appareintly as a result of ,hat survey and r- previous
aPpeal by olf'ficfirs of this club,, the Stev,i�.,rt 'A`irk Commi3sionn,
sevorai months aCfj, adopted a reoolution authorizihp, I'Lewitt

would provi(Ile Vic1lities adequate for immedit.-ite aceds.
Subsequently,, on "I -�4 y 10 1939, the Stewart 11.vrk
Cormis3ioners Fidoptod n resolution al,prcpriatin- $5,600 tov;r>rd
construction of the propo,5ed clubhouse -iAth the unlorstanding
that it Air--�uld be repaid from addltionnl nevonue received.

the city's "cencral fund", could riot legaily be diverted to
r,,:-r,,,-y any lo 7n from Mia- .;tevart 1'ark ComgJ14,sion.
Powevor, durin;, the pest fee„ weekog a nami and local
plan has been worked out which will enable the Stewart Park
Corralssion to invest as much as miy be necessary for con-
3traction of a clubhouse and to ,-

if such be the cf,s m-iosicnfs deriro.

In view of the expro:a seal demands ref nearly 200 of the

'' sins,..est -th,--),t this antic:iputeu income, less an

could 'be au'-rientad to 41,000 or more per year, by the
Stewesrt Park Conwaisaion's reducing, proportionately its

would. be perfectly proper and 1--al for the city to lease
