Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Thirty-First Annual Report of the Commissioners of the State Reservation at Niagara: From October 1, 1913, to September 30, 1914 To the Honorable the Legislature of the State of New York: The Commissioners of the State Reservation at Niagara have the honor to submit herewith their annual report for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1914, as required by law. Introductory More than a million and a quarter persons visit the Falls of Niagara annually. They come from every corner of the globe to view "one of the most wondrous, beautiful and stupendous scenes which the forces of nature have ever constructed" to borrow the words of Lord Dufferin, uttered more than thirty years ago, but as true to-day as they were then. These people come to view the wonderful downpouring of waters which constitute the grandeur of Niagara. This fact is eloquent in its simplicity. That its appeal to the human soul entices more than a million people to its vista every year is a powerful justification of all the labor and sacrifice that are embodied in the State Reservation at Niagara as it is to-day, and the movement which culminated in the preservation of this magnificent spectacle to posterity. The Year´s Progress The progress along the lines of general efficiency on the Reservation during the preceding fiscal year has been continued during the fiscal year just ended. The improvement and care of the roads and walks has been an important feature of the year´s work - almost all of the chief roads having been resurfaced. The reconstruction of the Green and Goat Island bridges was completed in December and the work accepted for the State by Supervising Engineer W. H. Yates. New Lamp standards were erected on the buttresses of these bridges to the manifest improvement of their general appearance. A considerable amount of damage was done to the wall at the eastern end of the Loop Pond during the winter, which necessitated taking it down and rebuilding.
