This very fortunate position permits it to be utilized in the proposed parkway girdle. It will constitute about one-third of the entire drcuit of twenty-four miles. Near Main Street the north fork flows through the outer portion of the Rice Institute grounds, thereby linking up that important feature in Houston's dvic development with the park system proper. Thence the bayou flows along the edge of the proposed Pines Park and east through as beautiful landscape as can be found about Houston. Th...e bed of the stream lies at first dose to the levd of the surrounding country, and is insuffident in width to carry away the run-oflF after heavy rains. Co-operation with the county should be sought in dredging the channd to a point where the deepening valley will take care of the flood waters. Along the property of the Country Club a very narrow taking only need be secured. Where the bayou bends sharply to the east,, the connecting parkway will cross the parkway along Evergreea Bayou from the city, the latter continuing down Bray's Bayou to Harrisburg and a connection with the Galveston highway.
