Annual Report Of The Board Of Trustees Of The Public Museum Of The City Of Milwaukee PDF Download

Excerpt from Twenty Eighth Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Public Museum: Of the City of Milwaukee, September 1, 1909, to August 31, 1910 Gentlemen - In compliance with a statutory provision the Board of Trustees of the Public Museum of the City of Milwaukee submits to you this its twenty-eighth annual report covering the year ending August 31, 1910. During this period the Board has convened twelve times for regular monthly meetings, once for a special meeting, and there have been held twenty-eight committee meetings of which twenty were by the building committee. Our expectations of pushing the building to a rapid completion have been frustrated by the Board of Estimates' omission to follow the agreement made between representatives of this Board and the Finance Committee of the Council to include in this years budget $150,000 of bonds for the construction of the Historical Museum so that if approved by vote of the people at the April election the bonds could be issued forthwith. As a result of this omission, when the people had signified their desire for the issuance of the bonds for this purpose, it was found that they had been omitted from the budget and could not be issued and so the work of building has been practically suspended for some months due to our financial inability to let the requisite contracts for the carrying on of this construction. We enter upon the new year with the walls, roof and floor slabs of the building practically completed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
