Catskill Aqueduct Celebration Exhibit^ 



Arthur Hollick 



Under date of July 20, 191 7, I received a communication from 

 Dr. George F. Kunz, chairman of the subcommittee on art, scien- 

 tific, and historical exhibitions of the Mayor's Catskill Aqueduct 

 Celebration Committee, requesting the cooperation of our museum 

 in the celebration. Our president took an immediate interest in 

 the matter and, subsequently, Mr. William T. Davis volunteered 

 his assistance, and assurance was received of cooperation on the 

 part of the borough officials in charge of our water supply. 

 With these incentives work was at once begun on a tentative 

 scheme for the exhibit, and by the end of September nearly all of 

 the items planned had been prepared and the instalation was 

 begun, so that in the current issue of our Bulletin it was pos- 

 sible to print a preliminary list of the exhibits, and tonight the 

 exhibit, complete, is ready for inspection. 



A catalog, in which each of the items is described in detail, is 

 already in the printer's hands and a typewritten copy has been 

 made for immediate reference. This catalog is to be printed in 

 the exact form and size requested by the mayor's committee, in 

 order that it may be uniform with other catalogs of similar 

 exhibits elsewhere. Subsequently all will be incorporated in a 

 single volume as a memorial of the celebration in connection with 

 the final report of the committee.
