President's Report
1921
Made on Behalf of the Board of Directors
of the
Madison Park and Pleasure Drive Association
To the Members of the Madison Park and Pleasure Drive
Association:
We are met on this twenty-ninth anniversary of the work
of the Madison Park and Pleasure Drive Association to listen
to the reports of the officers for the preceding year and to select
officers for the ensuing year.
The report of the city auditor shows budget appropriation
for the parks for the year 1920 of $35,545.75, expenditures
$34,689.oo, leaving an unexpended balance for last year of
$856.75. This item is a little more than offset, however, by
the auditor's report with respect to the appropriations for the
zoo. The budget provided $27,084.1o and there were ex-
pended in maintenance of the zoo last year $28,576.23, show-
ing an overdraft in that department of $1,492.13 and a net
overdraft in the park department including the zoo of $635.38.
The report of Mr. Hoyt, our treasurer, shows subscrip-
tions (including $3,15o reported from the City of Madison
by the city auditor) $8,535.50 and disbursements $8,348.91,
leaving a balance on hand Dec. 31, 1920, in the subscription
account of $186.59.
The detailed expenditures by parks will be published in
the annual report and will sufficiently analyze the work done
and money expended in each park and in the zoo.
The administration of the park area within the city the
past year has been merely one of routine. Tenney Park
