1960/07/18: Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk (3.105102)
Date: July 18 1960Creator: Morton, Sterling
Type: Document
Description:Letter from Sterling Morton to C. E. Godshalk stating it is not necessary to provide any further accounting of the expenses of his trip abroad; Morton is satisfied with what he has seen and believes the Arboretum will benefit from Godshalk's trip. He is sorry to see the cleaning of Lake Marmo was suspended. With respect to the parking lots, Morton would like to see strips between the rows of cars planted with trees and shrubbery. He notes that the Holden Arboretum charges 35 cents admission. While some of the trustees are dubious about charging an admission fee at the Morton Arboretum, Morton thinks it is the only way to pay for necessary expenses like gatemen, patrolmen, etc. He asks him to keep after Mr. Ward on the gate house plans. There is no sign of the Thimble fountain. He goes on to give his opinion of the Los Angeles convention. Other than the gate houses and gates and improvements to the Hedge Garden, he is unwilling to take on any further projects at this time.
