The action OF the Park Commissioners In setting
aside a beautiful section OF Bronx Park for the
Botanical Garden pleased properv-owners ard
residents OF the Twen,y-rourth Ward. The land
along the Harlem Railroad north Of Fordham has
deyeloped rapidly within the last few years. Bed
ford Park. west OF the Harlem Railroad. has IN
creased In population greatly, many new houses
having been erected on high ground within a mile
OF the station, besides the cluster OF dwellings not
far from the railroad tracks The beauties OF Bronx
Park remained undiscovered by most NEWCOMERS
for a long time Only those who lived near Ford
ham and few artist. and lovers OF country scenery
knew how charming spot was that portion OF the
park which has been set aside for the BotanicaA
Garden. The method Of accommodating traffc north
OF Fo rdham is still insufficient. but improvements
are being made When the roads are put In better
condition and few additional lines OF communica-
ton opened access to the park and the garden Will
be easy. The extension Of the elevated railroad to
Fordham will enable downtown residents 10 reach
a
east OF the railroad track and through part OF the
grounds Of St Johns College access to the Botan-
ical Garden site would be greatly improved.
