The Commission in its previous reports has frequentlyrecommended the purchase of the land south of KemptonStreet adjoining the north line of Buttonwood Park. Theacquisition of this land has been made possible during thepast year by purchase through a special appropriation. Thistract consists of two hundred and sixty rods of low swampland which necessitates drainage, filling and grading. Dur-ing the past year we have made some progress towards thisdevelopment in the way of draining and filling in.

Would also recommend the acquisition of land along thesouth boundary of Hazel wood Park extending to LucasStree
