Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Municipality of Glebe Jubilee Print Page 
The fountain commemorates the jubilee of the Municipality of Glebe in 1909.
To commemorate the jubilee of the Glebe, the Mayor, aldermen, and residents of the municipality have decided to hold public celebrations today. An artistic invitation card has been issued, on which are depicted the first unpretentious council-chambers and the present imposing Town Hall, as well as the Jubilee fountain and Jubilee Park.
The programme will open with a reception of his Excellency the State Governor and Lady Chelmsford at the entrance to the municipality in Broadway, where an address of welcome will be presented to the Governor and a bouquet to Lady Chelmsford. A guard of honour from the Glebe and Forest Lodge cadets will be in attendance. The Jubilee fountain will be unveiled by the Governor, addresses will be delivered by the Mayor.
