Excerpt from Twenty-Seventh Annual Report of the Board of Trustees of the Public Museum of the City of Milwaukee: September 1, 1908, to August 31, 1909; February 1, 1910 Gentlemen - In accordance with the provisions of Section 8 of Chapter 328 of the Laws of Wisconsin for 1882, the Board of Trustees of the Public Museum of the City of Milwaukee submits to you this, its twenty - seventh, annual report, covering the period ending August 31, 1909. Besides the regular meetings of the Board each month, one adjourned and one special meeting were held, and a consider able number oi meetings of various committees, especially of the Building Committee, have been convened. The year has been one of unusual activities, in that much time has been spent on examining plans and bids and letting contracts for the addition to the edifice now building for the Historical Museum. This has required careful attention on the part of the Board, and much more time and study from the Building Committee, Who are immediately in charge of the details of the work. Considerable delay in the erection of the building has been occasioned by the failure of the architects to prepare the necessary plans and specifications as they were needed, but the construction as far as it has progressed is of a thoroughly substantial nature.
