committee has been appointed by Mccoy
Post g. A. T., Columbus, Ohio, to devise q plan
for suitable memorial to the soldiers of the
late war. 1t is understood that majority of
the committee are favorably impressed with the
memorial armOry plan, and that there IS q
probability that they viii recommend that
plan to the Post at its next meeting. The plan
contempates memorial association, with sew
erai classes Of membership, active, annual, and
life. The first class would be the working ele-
ment, as in ordinary associations. The second
would have a voice in certain matters for each
year for which their membership fee was paid,
and the third would have a vote in the election
of officers, and perhaps in other matters, during
life. The statutes have been examined, aud
are found to be ample for the incorporation and
operation of such an association.
