WHEREAS,
the historic houses and buildings of Ashland help make our City
unique and provide links with aspirations and attainment of the City's
pioneers and their descendants; and
WHEREAS, these fine examples of 19th and early 20th century buildings
contribute to an appreciation of our heritage; and
WHEREAS,
preservation of these ties with our history helps avoid a sameness
that in some communities makes for a feeling of rootlessness and
lack of sense of place; and
WHEREAS,
National Historic Preservation Week provides an opportunity to
recognize the value of Ashland's historic resources and encourages
their preservation for future generations.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Mayor and the Ashland City Council of the City of
Ashland, do hereby proclaim the week of May 13 - 19, 2001 as
"NATIONAL HISTORIC PRESERVATION WEEK"
and call upon the people of Ashland to recognize and participate in this
observance.
Dated this 1 st day of May, 2001.
Barbara Christensen, City Recorder
