A largely increased expenditure for improvements to 
property, an excess of $4,000.00 over the previous year 
for taxes, as well as the increased cost of repairs, insur- 
ance, and $4,468.92 expended for improvements at the 
Garden, made serious inroads upon our revenue for the 
year, but we are enabled to carry forward a surplus of 
receipts over expenditures of $1,127.06. 
For further information concerning the operations at the 
Garden, you are referred to the Director’s annual report.
