The Board of Managers also adopted the following resol- 
utions at this meeting : 
Resolved, That the honorable Commissioners of Public 
Parks be, and they hereby are, requested to cause the extension 
of the driving road in the Mosholu Parkway across the New 
York and Harlem Railroad into Bronx Park; or, in case this 
should be impracticable at the present time, to indicate, to the 
Scientific Directors of the New York Botanical Garden, the 
point at which said driving road will enter Bronx Park, over 
a bridge, across said railroad, when constructed, in order to 
facilitate the laying out of the Garden. 
Fesolved, That the said Commissioners be, and they 
hereby are, requested to cause the construction of the drive- 
ways in the area set aside by them for the New York Botanical 
Garden in Bronx Park, in accordance with Section 6, Chapter 
285, Laws of the State of New York for 1891. 
Lresolved, That the said Commissioners be, and they here- 
by are, requested to consult and agree with the Special Com- 
mittee of the Managers on plans and buildings of the Garden, 
and relative to the positions and character of the roads.

and Buildings has not yet completed its report, but consider-

interior arrangement of the museum building and glass houses 
have been studied, the position of the driveways and entrances 
have been largely determined under advice from the late Mr. 
Calvert Vaux; the drainage of the tract and the relations to

tures have been considered. It is hoped that these studies 
will be sufficiently advanced to permit the erection of at least 
one building, the construction of part of the road system, and 
of some permanent planting during the coming year. 
The Scientific Directors have held meetings on May 8,
