Dear Mr. Mc Gann:
The Department of Public Parks is requesting the Common Council to
approve the enclosed ordinance appropriating $79,000.00 from the
Zoo Endowment Fund to account 260.0, Other Contractual Services.
The seventy -nine thousand dollars is the last 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 have committed $380,000.00 for the zoo project.
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.
The educational services building has been well accepted by thousands
of persons who have already visited the Potawatomi Zoo. South Bend can
be proud to have one of the finest small zoos in the midwest.
Very truly yours,
DEP TMENT OF LIC PARKS
