Total receipts from admissions for the year show a 
decrease when compared with the preceding year; yet 
they are much greater than during the fiscal year 1919- 
1920, which, up to that time, were the largest in the his- 
tory of the Gardens. Therefore your Board feels that 
the decrease of this year was not entirely unexpected, 
for it merely represents the reaction after an abnormally 
prosperous period that existed throughout the country. 
As was pointed out in the report of 1921, the cost of 
maintenance has continued to increase, but this has 
been in part offset by great reduction in the expenditures 
for subsistence, due to the reductions in prices of food 
stuffs. Because of the unsettled conditions of the 
building trade, few permanent improvements were under- 
taken. However, of the more important ones, a series 
of pheasant enclosures were erected. The regular re- 
pairs have been completed as heretofore.
