44 NEW YORK ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
MAINTENANCE. 
Park.—The sum of $190,000 was provided by the Society 
for the maintenance of the Park during 1918. This represented 
a reduction of $17,586 over the amount supplied the year before 
in spite of the great increase in supplies and in labor. The 
resulting situation was a very serious one, perhaps the worst 
encountered since the organization of the Society. In order to 
save the institution, the Managers raised a large fund to make 
up the deficit in the maintenance of the Park and of the 
Aquarium. 
Aquarium.—The case at the Aquarium was similar. The 
sum of $45,000 was appropriated for maintenance against that 
of $48,632.50 of the year before. The force was reduced and 
the work increased. Though great economy was practiced, the 
Society actually was obliged to contribute during 1919 for the 
maintenance of these two institutions the sum of $17,572.07, al- 
though in both cases the contract with the city provided for 
adequate maintenance. 
The subscriptions to cover the deficit of the 1919 mainte- 
nance were as follows:
