Moscow, September 27, 1932
Heard: "Information on the work of green construction of the Union of Green Plantings in Frunze (Kyrgyz SSR)." Report by Comrade Solovyov F.D.
Green construction in Kyrgyzstan, given its dry climate, is of great importance. Greening works are carried out exclusively within the city under the guidance of the "Union of Green Plantings," organized under the City Economic Committee, which employs agronomists of medium qualification and practical gardeners.
Within the city limits, there are: 3 parks with an area of up to 27 hectares and 3 fruit gardens with an area of 5.25 hectares, of which 1 garden with an area of 1.75 hectares has pomological significance, containing good fruit varieties and up to 40 varieties of grapes.
The area of green plantings for the 5-year plan is projected to be up to 3,500 hectares, including 2,420 hectares for fruit gardens. In 1932, 144 hectares were allocated for the nursery, of which 20 hectares have been developed, while the remaining area is temporarily occupied by vegetable and grain crops. This year, the City Council allocated 60,000 rubles for green construction, of which 40,000 rubles have already been released for their intended purpose. The following works have been completed:
a) Planning of a new park covering an area of 14 hectares,
b) Cleaning of existing parks covering an area of up to 20 hectares, and
c) Planting of 45,000 tree seedlings throughout the city.
The cost of works under the 5-year plan is estimated at 2,800,000 rubles. The cost calculation for the works is as follows:
1) Works in the nursery in the first year - 1,487 rubles per hectare
2) -//- in the second year - 831 -//- -//-
3) -//- in the third year - 671 -//- -//-
4) Cost of green plantings - 1,576 -//- -//-
5) Preparation of land for gardens - 577 -//- -//-
Among decorative species, pine and elm are mainly cultivated, and it is advisable to introduce alder, hornbeam, maple, and yellow acacia.
Currently, there is a significant shortage of planting material.
Resolved: 1. Given the enormous socio-economic importance of greening works in the Kyrgyz SSR and their insufficient development at present, limited only to works in Frunze, it is deemed desirable to raise the issue of organizing greening works on a republican scale, with the subsequent creation of a republican organization for this purpose based on coordination with "Goszelenstroy."
2. It is recognized as necessary to establish close coordination between "Goszelenstroy" and the existing "Union of Green Plantings" of the City Economic Committee regarding:
a) mutual supply of seed and planting material;
b) exchange of production technical experience;
c) consulting assistance.
3. To send a representative of "Goszelenstroy" to the Kyrgyz SSR for the development of specific measures to be included in the trust plan.
