The comparison of the total expenditures by the City and by the

TOTAL EXPENDITURES IN TEN YEARS, 1900-1909 



By the City for Maintenance $1,439,979.31

By the Trustees for All Purposes, 1900-1909 $1,431,717 .83 



By the Trustees for Endowment, since 1900 1,768,162.50 



Grand Total of Donations by the Trustees " $3,199,8S0.33
