The trust funds has committed $380,000.00 for the zoo project. <br />Payments will be made on a quarterly basis over the next three <br />years. <br />The Park Department appreciates the Common Council's interest and <br />help on the zoo project as shown by its willingness to appropriate <br />revenue sharing funds to complete the wildlife building. <br />I feel that when this structure is completed, South Bend will have <br />one of the finest small zoos in the midwest. <br />Your approval of this ordinance will be appreciated. <br />Very truly yours, <br />DEPARTMENT OF P IC PARKS <br />r <br />/' ;lames R.
