Brooklyn Arboretum Hope Faces City Funds Hurdles
Professor Franklin W. Hooper and Brooklyn Institute directors urged Controller Metz to back an arboretum behind the partly finished Brooklyn Institute building near Prospect Park. Andrew T. White offered 59,000 if the city raises 250 more and maintains the site. A bill passed Albany to aid the project, but Metz doubts city funds are available, and Friday’s Board of Estimate and Apportionment meeting is to review the measure. The conservatory would cost 100,000 with 10,000 for plant start, but funds are tight.
