Fort Miami:--
We regret to report that this property
is still in the hands
of owners who do not seem much
interested in its historic value.
Fallen Timbers:--
At this writing the State Architect is
engaged in landscap-
ing the site chosen for the future
monument to honor the mem-
ory of a great soldier and mark an
historic spot. It will be re-
called that two years ago the
Legislature appropriated $2,000 for
this purpose. We had asked for $40,000 for the
complete proj-
ect. Last winter at the instance of some
of our friends we asked
the State for $20,000 and the
Congress for $20,000. The former
appropriated $15,000 and the latter
gave us nothing. With but
$15,000
to build a $40,000 memorial your Committee
was some-
what at a loss to know how to. proceed.
It was finally decided,
with the informal approval of your
Board, to proceed with the
concrete foundations and a finished
granite pedestal so designed
that it may be considered a finished
product, even though the
bronze superstructure is never placed.
This program seemed to
meet with the approval of all parties
concerned, and along these
lines we are now proceeding.
Very respectfully submitted,
(Signed) W. J. SHERMAN,
Chairman.
The report was ordered received and
placed on file.
President Johnson stated that the State
Architect
adopted the plans suggested by the
committee for the
improvements at Fallen Timbers, and
also explained
the situation at Campus Martius, asking
whether the
Society wished to express its wishes as
to future ac-
tion. No action was taken by the
Society.
