The Arnold arboretum passed from the control of the trustees of Harvard College into the custody of Boston, Dec. 30th. The arboretum will be made a leading attraction of the new system of public parks. Boston has purchased Wood's Island, East Boston, over twenty acres in area, for a public park for $50,000. The plan contemplates a park-way one hundred feet wide from Bennington street to the park.
