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

 Trustees, in the past ten years, is very instructive : 



TOTAL EXPENDITURES IN TEN YEARS, 1900-1909 



By the City for Maintenance $1,439,979.31 



By the City for Building 1,338,000.00 



Grand Total of Expenditures by the City $2,777,979.31 



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 $3,199,880.33
