Power Plant 
The heating and power plant has been kept in good order. 
It was found necessary to relay the tiles on a portion of the 
roof. The three boilers were lined up and new grate bars 
and frames put in during the summer. No serious breaks 
in steam-pipes occurred during the year. The asbestos cover- 
ing of a large section of the main to the conservatories was 
replaced in October. The low temperatures during January— 
April furnished a severe test of the efficiency of the entire plant. 
It is now necessary to run the full complement of boilers in 
the coldest weather. 
Stable 
No changes have been made in the stables except to en- 
close a small area adjoining and to the west with a picket 
fence for the storage of carts and apparatus. 
Repair Shop 
Simple repairs of all kinds, including sharpening of drills 
and axes and adjustment of implements, have been carried 
on by one man with great economy. 
Carpenter Shop 
Two carpenters are employed throughout the year, and are 
kept busy in the construction of cases for the museum, tubs 
for plants, and the numerous repairs on doors, furniture and 
wooden fittings, in addition to the construction of rustic park 
seats to be placed at various points in the Garden. 
Publications 
The Journat has been published monthly during the year. 
The completed volume contains 224 pages with 30 plates 
and 40 figures. This publication is devoted to a current 
account of the various activities of the Garden, including 
non-technical descriptions of scientific results obtained, organ- 
ization, and additions to the collections and exhibits, progress 
of construction within the grounds, accessions of all kinds
