Excerpt from State of New York, No, 76, in Assembley, January 27, 1894: Tenth Annual Report of the Commissioners of the State Reservation at Niagara for the Year 1893 To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New York: The Commissioners of the State Reservation of Niagara, as required by law, submit their report for the fiscal year begun October 1, 1892, and ended September 30, 1893, it being their tenth annual report. The progress that has been made during the 3 ear along the line of restoration can not fail to give general satisfaction, and it may truthfully be said that no year since the territory adjacent to the cataract became public property has been signalized by such noteworthy improvements. This is especially true of the appearance of the Reservation in the neighborhood of the rapids. Reference should particularly be made to the plot of ground between the grove and Bridge street. This is a conspicuous part of the Reservation, and ever since the removal of the buildings that formerly covered it so largely, the surface has presented an irregular and forbidding appearance, while the broken remains of a stone canal or conduit traversed it from one end to the other, and increased the disagreeable effect. During the past year the )lace has been graded so as to remove in large measure traces of the former mutilation and roughness, and the stone remnants of the old raceway that were so offensively visible have been put out of sight.
