In several places the rain has commenced to form ruts from the street and in case of a heavy or prolonged rain these may attain a magnitude to cause serious damage and expense and should be attended to before Winter sets in.

I think some of the most precipitous portions will require considerable artificial structure to render them available for public use or floral display but I do not wish to give a decided opinion without further examination and study. With regard to the "Denny Park" there are no difficilties to surmount but it is desirable that the street on the northerly side should be graded previous to on [cantun????] for allows with work on the Park. I will make out plan & estimates in due time.
