complete the side of the building facing the Mosholu Parkway 
entrance and would be the more desirable of the two for labora- 
tory development. 
In a preliminary way, the uses of this wing may be outlined 
as follows: 
1. Basement Floor. Additional storage space and work- 
rooms; a lecture room to seat about 150 auditors, to be used 
for such lectures, meetings, special plant and flower exhibitions, 
and other functions which are not adaptable to the great 
size of the present lecture hall. 
2. First Floor. Extension of the economic museum; a room 
for the Board of Managers and for members of the Garden. 
3. Second Floor. Extension of the systematic museum; 
laboratory rooms for plant pathology and physiology. 
4. Third Floor. Library, reading and stack rooms, her- 
barium, laboratory and study rooms. It would be desirable 
to expand the library into the laboratory room just east of 
it and transfer the work accomplished in that room to the 
additional wing. ‘The library and herbarium have reached 
such proportions that space in the laboratories has had to be 
given over to them. 
The cost of this wing and its equipment with necessary cases 
and furniture would be from $80,000 to $100,000. 
Boundary Walls and Fences 
No extension of boundary fences has been possible 
during the year. The fence on the boundary line of Ford- 
ham University, about 2,000 feet long, was completely 
painted in the early part of the year, and the Bronx 
Boulevard boundary fence on the eastern side of the 
grounds, also about 2,000 feet long, has been painted this 
winter. The boundary fence along the right of way of 
the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company, 
about 3,600 feet long, built some years ago by the Railroad 
Company and to be maintained by them, is in good con- 
dition. The northern boundary of the reservation, about 
1,200 feet long, remains unfenced; the proposal of the City 
to construct a high level viaduct to carry a boundary street 
along this line has not yet been carried out.
