c/o Room 719 City Hall
St. Paul, Minnesota 55102
Dear Madam and Members:
Enclosed is a resolution I have placed on the agenda
for February 20. As you may know, the Children's Museum
Board is seeking these funds to get their program started.
There is no doubt that the Children�s Museum would be an
important asset to the downtown area.
If anyone ha.s questions, I would gladly arrange to
have representa.tives from the Museum present on Thursday
when this matter is considered.
