1 1 Ben Chernov, preldmt of Temple Emmanuel B'ne Jcshurun board of directors, notified Perrin that the board wa pleased to donate the ark to the worthwhile restoration project in Madison. The acquisition of the ark, which may be on view at the open house if it can be moved in time from Milwaukee, is rcsidcred fortunate because of its antiquity and because the original Gates of Heaven ark apparently disappeared In the I88Cs when the I'nitarian Church leased the structure.

Scaffolding to permit workers to reach the roof has been donated by the John Ahl Co. BULK A beautiful black walnut carved ark, 114 esri old, has been obtained for the apse of the old temple here.

The ark was obtained from Temple Emmanuel B'ne Je-shurun, Milwaukee, which traces Its history over moro than a century. It was used In the original Congregat.on Ifne Jcshurun since 1838 and is only two yeurs younger than the Congregation a a Shnmatm which was founded In 1838. The old Milwaukee synagogue stood at Broadway and State Streets snd seas replaced in 1872 by a new temple on Die site. In 1923 Congregation Bne Jcshurun was rged with Temple Emmanuel and a new temple built In 1523 on Kenwood Boulevard Milwaukee's Northeast Side. Since that time the ark remained unused in a classroom at the Milwaukee synagogue.

No formal action has been taken on that offer, according to Department of Administration officials. On June 8, the partnership obtained a city building permit to remodel the old Capitol Room in the hotel. That was the space offered to the state.

Hovdc said the partnership has served Madisons interests in obtaining the building and helping maintain the structure through a mixed use. He said the group has no plans to close the 75 hotel rooms remaining in operation. I Before the hotel was purchased, it was sliding in value, he said. It could have hurt the economic group on the western part of the Square if it had been allowed to decline, he said.
