REPORT OF THE MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMMITTEE
General Edward Orton, Jr., Chairman of
the Me-
morial Building Committee, read the
following report:
To the Board of Trustees of the Ohio
State Archeological and
Historical Society.
GENTLEMEN:--On behalf of the Building
Committee the
following report of work done in this
field is submitted for the
past year.
The Building. The World War Memorial Wing has been
completed during the current year and
has been available for oc-
cupation for a number of months, but no
extensive use has yet
been made of it because funds have not
yet been made available
for the lighting fixtures, cases,
furniture, and other necessities.
The progress in the closing stages in
the building itself have
been extraordinarily slow and would have
occasioned the So-
ciety very serious inconvenience had we
been ready to equip
and occupy the rooms properly. In view
of our unreadiness in
this respect, the apparent dilatoriness
of the various contractors
in completing their work has occasioned
no really serious handi-
cap to the Society.
In endeavoring to fix the responsibility
for these delays, the
contractors have insisted with apparent
force that they have
themselves been seriously handicapped by
difficulty in getting
drawings from the University architect,
and that a great deal,
if not all, of the delay should in
justice be brought back to his
