June 26 2 1961 BY: Mr. Levinson IN RE: APPROPRIATION TO OAKLAND COUNTY HISTORICAL FOUNDATION FOR MOSES WISNER HOME TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: At the May 1, 1961, meeting of the Board the resolution adopted by the Board of Directors of the Oakland County Historical Foundation requesting an appropriation by the County of $1,000.00 for the purpose of fostering the County's historical interest through restoration of The Wisner Home was referred to your Ways and Means Committee. The Board of Supervisors is authorized under Act 152 of the Public Acts of 1957 to raise and appropriate money for the purpose of fostering any activity or project which in the opinion of the Board tends to advance the historical interests of the County. Your Committee has carefully considered this request and is of the opinion that the restoration of the Moses Wisner site to its original appearance is a project which will advance the historical interests of the County. It is very appropriate that this project be undertaken this year which is the beginning of a five-year observance of the Civil War Centennial as well as the Centennial Year of the City of Pontiac, the seat of the County' government. The Committee therefore recommends that $1,000.00 be appropriated from the Contingent Fund of the County and jauthorized to be paid over to the Oakland County Historical Foundation pursuant to provisions of Act 152 of the Public Acts of Michigan for 1957. MR. CHAIRMAN, I move the adoption of the following resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Auditors be authorized to pay over to the Oakland County Historical Foundation the sum of $1,000.00 for the purpose of fostering the County's historical interest in The Moses Wisner Home and that such amount be appropriated from the Contingent Fund. Copy to Auditors, Smith, Tom, Ch, oF Wisner's Home, Clark MR. CHAIRMAN, on behalf of the Ways and Means Committee, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution. WAYS AND MEANS COMMITTEE 3 8 1 5
