Application of the Several Sources of Revenue 
1. City Allowance for Maintenance 
The city appropriation for maintenance of grounds, 
buildings and collections for 1917 was $109,760, and was 
expended for salaries, wages, supplies and material. 
2. General Income Account 
The General Income Account is made up of the income 
of the Endowment Fund (principal about $305,000), 
amounting to about $13,000, to which is added membership 
dues and sundry receipts aggregating about $11,000, or 
about $24,000 in all. 
This income was for the most part expended for salaries, 
wages, supplies and material, to supplement the city main- 
tenance allowance. A small portion of it was used for 
plans, surveys and construction. 
3. Science and Education Fund 
This fund was contributed by members and friends of 
the Garden in 1913, specifically for educational and scien- 
tific purposes, and some additions have since been made to 
it by gift and bequest, the principal now being $83,455, 
yielding about $4,000 annually. 
The income has been expended for publications, lectures, 
photography, laboratory supplies and equipment, and a 
small amount for exploration. 
4. Darius Ogden Mills Fund 
A bequest of $50,000 made by Mr. Mills, who was for 
many years President of the Board of Managers, received 
in 1910, which yields about $2,200 annually.
