TIE MONU MENT.

The following account Of the Bunker
Fill Monument, is from the New YORK
Tribune. The Monument stands upon
the summit, where tho small redoubt was
thrown up by the Americans on the
night Of June 10th, l775. Previous to
its erection the ground was distinguished I'd
by a small column in honor Of Warren,
who fell upon the spot, erected in 1884,
by lodge Of Free Masons LWarren' at
the time of his glorious death, being the
Grand Master Of tho Free Masons oil
North America. Subscriptions were
first asked for the present Monument In
1924. An Association called The Bun
kor Hill ,Mohument Association, " was
formed, membership of,which was 10 be-
enjoyed by those who subscribed So
An engraved diploma was their certih-
cate, and their names were inscribed up
on the parchment records deposlted with
in the corner stone. The corner stone
was laid Iune l7th, 1925, but ihe~Work
was not resumed until March, 1897,
the structure was placed under the
superinlendence su Of Mr.. James Savage,
OF Boston, by whom the foundation and
fourteen courses Of the SuperstrucIuro
were laid, when in August, 1928, the
work was suspended on account Of a def
cheney in funds About $56 o00 had
then been expended
The work was not resumed until the
summer of 1884, when sixteen additional
courses were laid, Andthe work wal
again stopped in 1885, about $4,000
having been expended. All business was
then greatly depressed, and the Projec
Of holding public Fair was suggested
at which every female in the Union who
desired il might contribute aid for the
completion ofIhS monument. The Fail
was held in Boston in September, 1910
and its proceeds, with few muniliceni
donations, put within the hands Of the
Committee of the Bunker Hill A0socia-
tion, a sum sufficient TO complete the
great object. Mr.. Savage, by contract
with the building Committee, WAS eDga
ged, in the autumn Of 1910 10 complete
the work for $13, 800, flo resumed his
labor by laying tho first stone May 3D.
