Since the City's park development began, in 1877, the total expenditure,
to the close of 1924, for parks, parkways and playgrounds (exclusive of
the annual maintenance appropriation) is $25,937,481 or $10,192,754 for
the land and $15,744,727 for construction.

The Arnold Arboretum (the "tree museum" of Harvard University), containing originally 122.6 acres, was added with other lands, in 1882, to the City's park system, under a special contract with Harvard University, and in 1895 another tract of 75 acres (Peter's Hill), also belonging to the University, was included, the name Bussey Park being added to the title. All the land in these tracts not required for driveways and walks, a quarry reservation and traffic road is used, under the trusts created by the wills of Benjamin Bussey and James Arnold, for Harvard's extensive collection of specimens of such trees and shrubs as will live in this climate.

The City maintains the roads and walks, also attends to policing the grounds. The Arboretum is open to visitors daily from 7 A. M. until sunset.

The Franklin Park Zoological Garden on the northern side of the park, begun in 1911, now occupies about eighty acres. Up to February 1, 1925, the amount expended for construction, etc., was $387,946. In the summer of 1912, the group of bear dens, the aquatic flying cage, etc., were finished and put on exhibition, in 1913 the bird house with other attractions, in 1914 the elephant house and in 1920 the lion house, were added. One of the latest improvements is the "Greeting" or main entrance and concourse leading from Blue Hill avenue, with massive stone gateway, ornamental fence, etc., completing the original artistic design.

The Marine Park Aquarium, costing $144,530, was opened to the public on November 28, 1912. The entire outlay for both was appropriated from the George F. Parkman Fund income.

GEORGE F. PARKMAN FUND.

By the will of the late George F. Parkman, various real estate properties worth between $5,000,000 and $6,000,000 were left to the City, the income therefrom to be expended for the maintenance and improvement of the Common and such parks as were in existence January 12, 1887, and no part of it to be used for the purchase of additional land for park purposes. The bequest was accepted by the City Council, March 9, 1909, since which date most of the realty has been sold and the proceeds invested in bonds. On February 1, 1925, the principal of the fund in the custody of the City Treasurer, amounted to $5,237,682. In the fiscal year 1924-25, the income from the fund was $216,167.
