They are: Prospect Park 84 Powers Park 2.14 Beman Park 6.28 Lansingburgh Park 2.41 Seminary Park 41 Besides these there Is a private park, Wash- ington, of two acres in extent, but to this the public Is not given admittance. The city cares for its parks in a pains- taking manner, with the result that few’ cities possess more perfect beauty spots. For example, during the last fiscal year, 449 elm trees were sprayed In Prospect Park, 116 in Beman Park, 12 in Seminary Park, 25 in Powers Park and 85 in Lansingburgh Park. During the year there was employed In the parks and play-grounds four gardners, nine caretakers, twenty-one laborers, three special ■watchmen, one foreman of construction and six park policemen. There are five public play-grounds in the city. The most extensive Is at Prospect Park where. In addition to swings, tennis courts, sand-piles, teeters, slides and similar com- mon appliances, there are a concrete wading ALMANAC AND YEAR-BOOK FOR 1914. 486 pool and a baseball diamond. The others are: Beman Park; South End, at the head of Mann avenue; First street, at Seventh ave- nue; Twelfth street, Lansingburgh, where the old Twelfth Street Park has been trans- formed into a play-ground of proportions not much less extensive nor diversified than those of the play-ground at Prospect Park. PUBLIC Public Bath No. 1 was opened to the public on May 1, 1902. The total cost of the bath. Including the lot, is $12,830.46, or $2,169.54 less than the estimated cost of $15,000. The use Is perfectly free, no charge being made for the soap or the use of the towels. Its popularity Is attested by the large number of baths. The appended table shows the number of persons who took advantage of the baths from January 1, 1912, to January 1, 1913. The report for 1913 is not yet Issued. 1912. Male. Female.

The Chamber of Commerce is Troy's most STANDING COMMITTEES active and energetic agency for progress. Its most substantial accomplishments have been In securing better transportation for the city, particularly by water. Troy has become fam- ous all over the country as a hustling, prog- ressive community through the large dele- gations from the Chamber of Commerce which have attended conventions of the At- lantic Deeper Waterways Association in re- cent years, and largely through this means a new dam has been secured with locks and power convenient to Troy’s commercial es- tablishments and a deeper channel to New York. Of late a close affiliation has been at- tained with Albany’s organization and the result has been a federation of plans for the whole neighborhood. Through this means legislation has been secured by Congressman Ten Eyck looking towards a twenty-seven foot channel from New York to Troy, mak- ing possible the docking of ocean freighters in this city for the loading and unloading of cargoes carried by barge from polntg in this state and the west through the barge canal and the great lakes. Eventually this means increased business for this whole section. The Chamber of Commerce also has been active In all sorts of betterment, the secur- ing of new Industrial plants, the ending of individualism in municipal affairs and the education of the people In civic patriotism.
