Dear Mr. Mc Gann:
The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council
to approve the enclosed ordinance appropriating $30,000.00 from
the Zoo Endowment Fund to account 260.0, Other Contractual
Services.
The thirty thousand dollars is the fifth payment from the Muessel-
Ellison and Stanley and Flora Clark Trust Funds for the construction
of the Educational Services and Wildlife Building at Potawatomi Zoo.
The trust funds has committed $380,000.00 for the zoo project.
Total payments received to -date from the trust fund is $205,000.00.
The Park Department appreciates the Common Council's interest and
help on the zoo project as shown by its willingness to appropriate
revenue sharing funds to complete the wildlife building.
I feel that when this structure is completed, South Bend will have
one of the finest small zoos in the Midwest.
Your approval of this ordinance will be appreciated.
Very truly yours,
