We now find that the budget for our five-year planting 

 and maintenance program described above becomes as 

 follows : 



First Year: 



Maintenance of 15,000 trees @ $1 per tree $15,000 



]STew planting, 1,000 trees (see above estimate). . 19,250 



Supervision and equipment, estimated 7,500 



$11,750 

 Second Year: 



Maintenance $15,500'"' $15,500 



New planting 19,250 



Supervision and equipment 7,500 



$12,250 



Third Year $12,750 



Fourth Year $13,250 



Fifth Year $13,750 



Adopting the 1,000-tree program which is advocated, 

 and which would seem a reasonable minimum if any serious 

 progress is to be made in perfecting the suggested system, 

 would require twenty-one years to complete the entire tree- 

 planting program and eleven years to complete the main sys- 

 tem. The budget for the twenty-first year would be $51,750, 

 which year would see the completion of the entire tree- 

 planting program. Thereafter an annual budget of $35,000 

 or $10,000 should be sufficient to maintain the system in 

 excellent condition and take care of all replacements due to 

 the injuries or mortality. 



The conditions in Tiiehmond are so radically different 

 from those in Manhattan that it is impossible to furnish a 

 combined estimate for the two boroughs. A sum of from 



* Annual increase in maintenance duo to annual increase in number 

 of trees.
