Money from Cyclorama to fund maintenance at Grant Park
The Park Board decided that money collected from the Cyclorama at Grant Park will be used for maintenance of the painting with net proceeds turned over to the city treasurer. The move challenges City Attorney Mayson’s ruling that all receipts must go to the treasury. A lecturer position was reestablished with Mr. Mosteller to be paid 50 dollars monthly from Cyclorama proceeds, plus a doorkeeper at 150 dollars daily from receipts. The president was tasked to collect receipts and report balances after maintenance costs. Wage discussions for park laborers were sent to the president for next session.
