To the Honorable Park Board of The Cj~ty of New York, Municipal Building, New York City. GENTLEMEN: In Compliance with the resolution of your Board adopted August 4, 1921, reading as follows: Resolved, That the Chief Engineers and Assistant Engineers of the Park Department be requested to confer on the subject of a revision of the contract provisions for asphalt paving and to report to the Board at their earliest convenience any change they consider to be advisable and give their reasons in full for the change, if any, with the view of making them as uniform as possible in all the boroughs," it is hereby reported that the Chief Engineers and Assistant Engineers of the Park Departments and the Landscape Archi~ect of the Park Board have regularly met on Monday afternoons in the Brooklyn Park office and revised the contract forms which were in use, SQ as to have one standard contract form for all Park Departments, for the various classes of work. The said standard contract form is hereby respectfully submitted to your Board for its consideration, and, if satis­ factory, for its submission to the Corporation Counsel of The City of New York, for approval before printing. The important changes that have been made are as follows: The elimination of all paragraphs relating to specific guarantees, submission of specific samples. "!tc., which paragraphs will hereafter be provided for in the special provisions of the specifications for each particular kind of work; also the simplification of any paragraphs which appeared to be ambiguous or indefinite as to their intent, such as the reading of the 5% additional work clause, the contract modifica­ tion clause and the extra work clause, the sense and intent of which, as understood 9 [February 16, 1922 by the Committee, have been re-written into new paragraphs which, it is beiieved, more completely and definitely cover the subject. The order of numerous paragraphs in the contracts where they related to the same subject, has bee' changed so as to keep such paragraphs together. Other minor changes, such as phraseology, punctuation, etc., which did not change the sense of the paragraphs, were also made. It was believed that General Provisions common to the specifications of each department should be standardized. This was done and they were included for printing in the standard contract form. In order that your Board may be fully informed as to the proper provisions for such paragraphs as were eliminated in relation to samples, guarantees, etc., a sheet is hereto attached showing the proposed uniform order of the Special Provisions of the

The Committee also believes that the standardization work should continue until such time as all specifications for work common to each department are standardized. On the standardization of specifications, the Committee will again continue its meetings, beginning Monday, February 20th, unless otherwise directed by your Board. It is the sense of the Committee that with the submission of this contract form, general provisions and outline of proposed special provisions, and the proposed standardization of specifications, the resolution of August 4, 1921, will have been complied with.

There being no objection the President directed that the reading of the Minutes of the previous Meeting be dispensed with.

The Secretary presented a communication from the Hon. W. Bruce Cobb, City Magistrate, suggesting that parkways and park drives in out of the way and little used places might well be set apart for the use of persons> learning to drive motor vehicles as this practice on crowded thoroughfares was very dangerous" Commissioner Gallatin and Hennessy said that there were no parkways or drives in the Boroughs of Manhattan and The Bronx, which could be properly set apart in this way. Commissioner Benninger said that in some of the parkways· and drives in Queens persons learning to drive motor vehicles resorted by common consent and with his permission though there was no official designation. Commissioner Harman said that he would take up the subject of arranging to set apart some secluded cross drives in Prospect Park for this purpose. The Secretary presented a communication from Mr. B. L. Blair, who requested permission to demonstrate a base ball pitching machine. He considered it to be of practical interest from a scientific standpoint and likely to prove of great value ,in training the eyesight of players and preventing death and injury from accidents. Commissioner Harman expressed a willingness to arrange for such a demonstration and the Secretary was directed to refer Mr. Blair to him. 27 [May 18, 1922
