In November last the City Councils coupled with the ap- 
propriation the provision that each branch of the Councils 
should be represented upon the Board of Directors by one 
member. This proposition met with cordial acceptance 
from the Board, which at once made the necessary arrange- 
ments for their reception, and in January Select Council 
elected Dr. Richard H. Harte as its representative, and at the 
same time Mr. Alexander M. DeHaven was elected by Com- 
mon Council. 
The increased cost of practically every element entering 
into the maintenance of the Garden has severely taxed its 
resources. The Treasurer's statement shows a deficit of 
nearly $3000 in the operations of the year. An increase of 
$2500 was made in the city appropriation for the purchase of 
Public School tickets for the ensuing year, and the possibihty 
of a further deficiency must be met by the utmost economy 
consistent with proper preservation of the collections.
