Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton stating Arboretum staff have made up sample paving blocks. He updates Morton on the progress on the steel for the north bound lane river bridge and the road construction going on around the Arboretum. Tony named the new lake Meadow Lake, but this can be changed if necessary. Godshalk and Lowell will soon begin planning their upcoming trip to Europe. He shares his plan for the Amsterdam Horticultural Show exhibit. Retired AABGA member Carl Wedell will set up and look after the exhibit. Any monetary contribution Morton could give to the show would be helpful. He is glad to hear Mrs. Morton is much better.

1960/08/11: C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton (3.86090)
Date: August 11 1960Creator: Godshalk, Clarence E.
Type: Document
Description:Letter from C. E. Godshalk to Sterling Morton talking about whether to hire Mr. Swink to take over for May Watts. While Mrs. Carton was not too enthusiastic about Swink, Watts thinks he is the best person to carry on her work. Godshalk doesn't believe that the change to the entrance to the parking lot should be made as walkers who use the parking lot should pay, too, as the lot requires maintenance as well as the roads. Tony has gone to Boston to the National Shade Tree Conference and the AABGA Convention. He sent Tony with 140 of Godshalk's slides of the Floriade and the botanical gardens of Europe. Godshalk has an idea for the front of the Arboretum Center, and he will have Tony prepare the map Morton suggested on his return. The rotunda terrace steps have been fixed, and work on Lake Marmo and the settling basin is progressing.
