The Arnold Arboretum.

Mr. Sprague of Suffolk has introduced a bill in the senate to authorize the extension of the Arnold Arboretum. The bill provides that in case the Board of Park Commissioners of the City of Boston deem it desirable to take at any time the whole or any portion of that tract of land in West Roxbury, held by the President and Fellows of Harvard College, for the purpose of extending the Arboretum, they may do so.
