[25] Note, 1868.—In execution the simpler plan above suggested was adopted, and the arrangement will probably remain intact for a number of years.
[26] Note, 1868.—The postponement of operations in this quarter was recommended because we found that the 106th street boundary of the park required a revision, which could not, with propriety be urged when the competition plan was made. The northern limit of the park was, subsequently to the date of this report, extended from 106th to 110th sts., and so much of the original plan as applied to the ground to the northward of that here described, was afterwards modified in order to connect satisfactorily with our design for laying out the additional territory which was approved by the commission in April, 1863.
