(Note: The decrease in the number of users reported is due to a 
change in the method of compiling the statistics. Previous to 1930 
the number of readers, visitors, reference questions, and books lent 
were combined to show the total use of the library. On the same 
basis, the total for 1930 would be 6,638 as compared with 5,396 for 
1920.) 
REPORT OF THE HORTICULIURIS! AND HEAD 
GARDENER FOR 1930 
Dr. C. Stuart GAGER, DIRECTOR. 
Sir: I have the honor to submit herewith my report for the year 
ending December 31, 1930 
Personnel 
As in 1929, there were nine men on the gardening force. Con- 
sidering the amount of work to be done, more labor was available 
than in previous years. During the peak of the growing season 
sixteen laborers were employed. T*ive of these men were assigned 
as guards at the entrance gates on Saturdays, Sundays, and school 
holidays. Their duties included preventing the entrance of chil- 
dren unaccompanied by adults, and the bringing in of implements 
that might be used for digging in lawns and flower beds. This 
policy was instrumental in greatly reducing vandalism.
