Fortieth Annual Meeting 261
In addition to the usual repairs and
upkeep, it became neces-
sary to reroof the dwelling of the
custodian, including a new
roof over the porch, and to repair the
summer-house. This has
been done at a cost of $127.47.
The great increase of visitors at the
Park has required an
additional supply of drinking water and
made it necessary to
drill an additional well on the
premises. This has been done at
a cost, including casing and pump, of $198.20.
The rapidly increasing number of
visitors at the Park is
evidence of the popularity of the place.
While doubtless some
of these are attracted to the Park as a
pleasant place to go for
an outing, all are more or less
impressed with the historic and
archaeological interest of the great serpent effigy.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) W. H. COLE,
(Signed) W. C. MILLS,

D. Dryer,

the Trustees
whose terms expire.
REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON FORT MEIGS,
FORT
MIAMI AND THE BATTLEFIELD OF FAL-
LEN TIMBERS.
President Arthur C. Johnson read the
following
report of the committee:
Your Committee on Fort Meigs, Fort Miami
and Fallen
Timbers respectfully report as follows,
viz.:
Fort Meigs:--
This splendid property has been well
maintained by the
Commission in whose care it has been
placed. The rapid de-
velopment of this suburban territory has
resulted in a gradual
increase in the number of visitors to
this interesting old fortress.
The monument erected last year to honor
the memory of the
Pittsburgh Blues has proven quite a
drawing card for the many
visitors.
