Perthshire Natural History Museum. 
For the Year ending 1 5 th May, 1913. 
To the Hon. The Lord Provost , the Magistrates , and 
Town Council of Perth. 
Gentlemen, 
The Committee in charge of the Perthshire Natural 
History Museum has pleasure in submitting the Thirtieth 
Annual Report. 
The fabric throughout is in good repair. 
As indicated in the last Report, the building was wired 
throughout for electric light. Incandescent lamps (Osram) 
are used, and a very even distribution of the light has been 
secured. The arrangement of the main and branch switches 
permits the lighting of any section of the Museum. The 
specification was drawn up by Mr Lambert, manager of the 
Perth Electricity Works. The contract was carried out by 
Messrs Westwood & Sons, Perth. Credit is due to the 
firm for the way the work was done, and the neat finish 
imparted to it ; to Mr Lambert thanks are due for supervising 
and carrying the work through. The installation included 
an electric fan in the Lecture Room, and this, with a series of 
air ducts communicating with the Museum and passages has 
led to a great improvement in the ventilation of the building.
