Text Appearing Before Image:
Zoological Park were becoming open cesspools. The so-lution for these difficulties was found in the Parkway scheme. The Com-mission allows no sewage to empty into the Bronx River. The strip willbe pierced by a highway of perfect construction and will become in timea continuous grove. This parkway provides a desirable connection be-tween the Citys parks and the enormous areas of picturesque landsacquired by the City in the Croton and Catskill watersheds. Wherever practicable, the lands acquired have been made availablefor recreation purposes, and many tracts are being used for baseballfields, playgrounds, parked areas around stations, etc. The improvedAvater conditions have restored to favor swimming pools adequate innumber to satisfy the heavy demands imposed for this much-to-be-en-couraged form of recreation. It is planned by judicious planting to soscreen certain of these pools that their use will not be impaired withincreasing density of population adjacent to the Parkway zone. 55
