and would beiter typify the rugged
courage of the soldier during the
late war and the hardship

as much at the outset, but other?
preferred the fancy design. In ad-
dition, the committee has found it
to he too earnest desire of a great
number of the contributors that the
monument be erected by Armistice
I)ev (November 11) so tlmt appro
priate exercises may be held oi» that
day.
Comirnttee’* Deciiion.
* ronfronted with t'.v’se facts and
condifionc, ami under authority
granted i* at the rec"nt public nws«
meeting, the committee has reached
i>- following decision:
“1. That it must, "f necessity,
abandon the idea of erecting tab
let*. bearing th" names of all the boys
who entered the service;
“2. T’.'nt it shall proceed at once
fo erect » suitable monument of
granite boulders, similar in size to
the originnl design, and bearing.only
one bropze tablet with a general in
sr»-ir.tinn thereon. And, instead ot
the f.,ur "lights around the base ot
th,» monument, we will place a white-
way post on the sidewalk at each ot
th** four corners of the street, to
geth* r with sanitary drinking founts
“If there are nnv who have giver
with the understanding that th** large
tablets bearing the names of all th*
soldiers would be placed on the
monument, or that only the fancy de
sign of monument originally contem
plated would be erected, and who do
not want their contribution expend
ed on the present plans, the commit*
tee vcmje*»|s that it be so notified nt
I* I once so tha* such contribution might
' ’ b" refunded. On th«» other hand, it
i w*r\ renuiir* about $300.00 more than
* is in hand to complete the present
| plans, and if tbrre are any who have
j not contributed and who desire te
do so we would greatly appreciate

, mediately. P"«nectfullv,
