Much of the forest, grading and drainage work done has been 
complished, in part, through codperation with the New York 
Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, by means 
of an arrangement entered into with that association early in 
March, and still in force. The association sends about twenty 
officials of the Garden and of the Association for Improving the 
Condition of the Poor, inasmuch as it has proven to be an ef- 
fective way of having mene work done and at the same time 
distributing money to persons very much in need of it 
The Lorillard Mansion, tren located just east of the 
Bronx River and high al it, comes to the uses of the Garden

are many other large and fine trees within the new reservation.
