Annual Reports 73 



The Museum was closed from February 7 to 13 inclusive because of 

 lack of fuel. The closing for this period, added to the comparatively small 

 attendance for the months of December and January, caused by the severe 

 cold weather, brought down the attendance for the fiscal year to a point 

 lower by nearly four thousand than that of the calendar year of 1917.
