KENNEDY Commissioner for the Borough of Brooklyn WALTER G. ELIOT Commissioner for the Borough of Queens CLINTON H. SMITH, Secretary CHARLES DOWNING LAY, Landscape Architect BOROUGHS OF MANHATTAN AND RICHMOND The administration of the Park Department in the Boroughs of Manhattan and Richmond was carried oil during the year ending December 31, 1912, along the lines followed in 1910 arid 1911. Additional space in the parks was set aside for recreation purposes for both children and adults, and the playgrounds already established were *added by the opening of several grounds which had been under improvement. These improved grounds contaln field houses, with baths and toilets, and playrooins for use in bad weather, and are models of their kind. The landscape features of the parks proper were not neglected. Poor lawns and plantations in all the parks were renewed, especially in Central Park, where the great work of restoration in progress during the previous two years was continued. Progress was made toward the solution of the roadway question in Central Park and Riverside Park, by the laying of a modern up-to-date pavement on the West Drive, Central Park, for which a special fund was granted by the Board of Estimate. This pavement was determined upon as the result of the observation of the four experimental sections laid the previous fall in Central Park. The reclaiming of the water front of Riverside Park continued throughout the year. Thousands of yards of filling were deposited at the three points along the shore, 79th street, 96th street and 129th street, where free dumps were established for contractors and builders under department permits. A considerable area was added at these three points as the result of the filling. At both 79th street and 96th street sufficient space was added to allow baseball playing, giving pleasure and healthful kxercise to added thousands of boys and young men who used the diamonds laid out there by the department. The larger appropriation granted for music in the annual budget for 1912 permitted a return to the generous policy regarding the number and class of concerts given. In Central Park during the summer season the orchestral concerts by well-known leaders were continued and the number increased. The evening concerts were resumed, concerts being given every night in the week except Sunday and Monday, in addition to the regular afternoon concerts on Saturday and Sunday. Orchestral concerts were given also at Curtis High School field in Staten Island and the number of concerts in the Borough of Richmond was greatly increased. In general, greater use was made of the parks and playgrounds during the year . 1912 than ever before. The details of the work accomplished during the year are found in the accompanying reports of the officials in charge of the various divisions of the department.

At the annual auction sale of surplus stock all the ram lambs were sold, together with thirty old ewes and two rams. There were also included in this sale seven fallow deer and three English red deer, and eight hundred and thirteen pounds of wool. The receipts of the sale amounted to the sum of six hundred thirty-two dollars eighteen cents, which was placed to the credit of the special fund for the purchase of animals, etc., for the menagerie.

These included mandrills, lemurs, and pigtail monkeys, no specimens of which had been in the menagerie for a great many years. The bird collection was greatly increased, over one hundred specimens being received from donations above. Of this number, seventy-five were received from one donor. The specimens added during the year were mainly birds of brilliant plumage, many of them of odd shapes, making a highly interesting collection; probably the best ever on exhibition in the menagerie. Plans were made for the improvement of the buildings and enclosures in which the collection is housed, and the work started by the reconstruction of a concrete alligator tank of artistic design to replace the old wooden tank formerly in use.

    Landmarks Preservation Commission September 20, 1966, Number 1 LP-0179 GRACIE MANSION, East End Avenue at 88th Street in Carl Schurz Park, Borough of Manhattan. Begun 1799, completed 1801; north addition 1810. Landmark Site: Borough of Manhattan Tax Map Block 1592, Lot l in part, consisting of the land on which the described building is situated. On March 8, 1966, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Gracie Mansion and the proposed desig­ nation of the related Landmark Site. (Item No. 3). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of l aw. Two witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including the Park Commissioner Thomas • Hoving. There were no speakers in opposition to designation~ DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Located in Carl Schurz Park on the East River at East Eighty Eighth Street is one of the finest Federal Style country seats r emaining to us from that early period. Standing on a promontory, once known as "Gracie's Point," the large two­ story frame house is enclosed, at first floor l evel, by a porch surmounted by a handsome Chinese hippendale railing, a near duplicate of the balustrade surrounding the hipped roof above. On the river side the house boasts ~~ exceedingly fine Federal doorway with leaded glass sidelights and a semi-circular lunette above the door, flanked by oval rosettes set between delicate wood consoles. As tradition would have us believe, this work, consisting of additions made b,y Archibald Gracie about 1809, may well represent the efforts of the noted architect, Major Charles Pierre L'Enfant.

  • The Meaning of the Federalist Papers
    English-Language Arts: Operational Lesson Title: The Meaning of the Federalist Papers Enduring Understanding: Equality is necessary for democracy to thrive. Essential Question: How did the constitutional system described in The Federalist Papers contribute to our national ideas about equality? Lesson Overview This two-part lesson explores the Federalist Papers. First, students engage in a discussion about how they get information about current issues. Next, they read a short history of the Federalist Papers and work in small groups to closely examine the text. Then, student pairs analyze primary source manuscripts concerning the Federalist Papers and relate these documents to what they have already learned. In an optional interactive activity, students now work in small groups to research a Federalist or Anti-Federalist and role-play this person in a classroom debate on the adoption of the Constitution. Extended writing and primary source activities follow that allow students to use their understanding of the history and significance of the Federalist Papers. Lesson Objectives Students will be able to: • Explain arguments for the necessity of a Constitution and a bill of rights. • Define democracy and republic and explain James Madison’s use of these terms. • Describe the political philosophy underpinning the Constitution as specified in the Federalist Papers using primary source examples. • Discuss and defend the ideas of the leading Federalists and Anti-Federalists on several issues in a classroom role-play debate. (Optional Activity) • Develop critical thinking, writing skills, and facility with textual evidence by examining the strengths of either Federalism or Anti-Federalism. (Optional/Extended Activities) • Use both research skills and creative writing techniques to draft a dialogue between two contemporary figures that reflects differences in Federalist and Anti-Federalist philosophies.

  • Alexander Hamilton to John Jay on African-American Soldiers (March, 14, 1779)
    Alexander Hamilton to John Jay on African-American Soldiers (March, 14, 1779) On March 14, 1779, Alexander Hamilton wrote this letter to John Jay regarding the recruitment of black soldiers. Hamilton expressed his opinion that former slaves might prove even better soldiers than the whites. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he rejected prejudices about the natural abilities of African-Americans and attributed any of their deficiencies to their social condition as slaves. As you read the letter, consider why Hamilton advocated giving the slaves "their freedom with their muskets" and what effect he thought this would have on slaves throughout the South. How did he propose to overcome the objections of slaveowners? Why was his plan rejected by congress? Col Laurens, who will have the honor of delivering you this letter, is on his way to South Carolina, on a project, which I think, in the present situation of affairs there, is a very good one and deserves every kind of support and encouragement. This is to raise two three or four batalions of negroes; with the assistance of the government of that state, by contributions from the owners in proportion to the number they possess. If you should think proper to enter upon the subject with him, he will give you a detail of his plan. He wishes to have it recommended by Congress to the state; and, as an inducement, that they would engage to take those batalions into Continental pay. It appears to me, that an expedient of this kind, in the present state of Southern affairs, is the most rational, that can be adopted, and promises very important advantages.

The United States as an Idea: Constitutional Reflections H. Jefferson Powell* I’d like to begin my remarks with two completely unoriginal observations. The first is that United States is a nation that rests on ideas, in a sense that isn’t quite true of many other nations. What we mean by, say, Denmark, or my ancestral country of Wales, certainly is tied up with ideas about what it means to be Danish or Welsh. To be Welsh is, among other things, to belong to a nation of poets: the greatest cultural achievement for any Welshman or woman—leaving aside organized sports!—is to be crowned Bard (chief poet) at the National Eisteddfod. But the ideas that characterize Denmark or Wales belong to a national community that did not begin with ideas and a conscious decision. There was no convention that established Denmark, no declaration that announced Wales, and it is pointless to ask when either nation was created.1 Both emerged out of “the mists of time,” out of a particular human experience of geography, culture, language, religion, perceived physical kinship, and so on.

  • Chapter 4: Social Conditions
    Chapter 4: Social Conditions A. INTRODUCTION AND METHODOLOGY This chapter addresses a variety of issues that support social conditions, including population and housing characteristics, community facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The discussion of social conditions considers the entire MESA study area (depicted in Figure 3-1 in Chapter 3, above) with particular focus on the project corridor—the routes proposed for the various project alternatives—where the greatest potential for change would occur. Because none of the project alternatives have the potential to change social conditions in the secondary study area, where Build Alternatives 1 and 2 would add service along an existing subway line, this analysis is of the primary study area only. The analysis was conducted by first compiling existing data for population and housing, com- munity facilities and open spaces, and neighborhood character. The source for the population and housing data is the 1990 Census of Population and Housing. The inventory of community facilities is based on Community District Needs (1997) for Manhattan’s Community Boards, the Department of Parks and Recreation’s Property Lists (dated November 4, 1996), supplementary information provided by the various Community Boards within the study area, and the informa- tion gathered for the analysis of land use, zoning, and public policy in Chapter 3. The assessment of neighborhood character is based on information gathered for other chapters of this document, particularly including the analyses of land use (Chapter 3) and visual and aesthetic considerations (Chapter 6). After assessing the existing conditions in the study area, the expected changes in the future are considered, based on information compiled in Chapter 3.
