Excerpt from Report of the Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners: January, 1894 In the report of the temporary Board Of Metropolitan Park Commissioners submitted to the Legislature Of 1893 (house Document no. 150) a scheme of public reservations within what was then referred to, and has since been incorporated, as the Metropolitan District was set forth in detail. In accordance With the recommendations contained in that report an act for the appointment Of a permanent Board of Metropolitan Park Commissioners was reported and passed practically in the form in which it was drafted by the Commission. Under these circumstances there would appear to be at this time no especial occasion for any elaborate report setting forth the purposes Of the Commission, or a scheme of public reserva tions within the Metropolitan District. It is the understanding of the Commissioners that they were appointed to carry into effect the recommendations made a year ago. The scheme of reservations included in those recommendations was set forth in the elaborate reports of the consulting landscape architect.
