The committee on the erection Of the
Bennington battle monument held Il very
important meeting Saturday. 1t was Il
fun meeting aud its decisions were en-
tirely unanimous At the August meet
ing OF the association it was decided to
put in foundation this fall The com
mittee was also authorized to build the
entire structure, if deemed best. The rca-
sons for thus separating the work were
that not all of the association were con.
WINGED that 1t was feasible to build IA
monument 800 feet. and further, some
were not satisfied with the design. As a
sort OF compromise 1t was agreed to put
III foundation Tor "A 3OO-fOOt high mOnu-
ment and build it now. 1t has, however,
been deemed practicable to build so high,
and 1t is thought that no difficulty vii he
encountered in so framing a contract that
the contemplated notifications of the
design can be provided for in it, When
the design was adopted last year it was
expressly stipulated in the resolution of
adoption that it should be subject to
modlllcatlOn.' 1t has been somewhat
modified, the building at the base having
been removed and the outlook at the top
made much more capacious. These
changes have been made under the advice
oil artists who are members of the assO-
CATION, and it is proposed to continue the
nlOulHCatlOn, likewise under their advice
ana with the approval of the architect.
/ These points being settled, it was deemed
wise to abandon the foundation for this
year and let the contract for the whole
structure as soon as II would be done.
This Will take all the fall. and 50 no work
Will be done this year: but as a structure
300 feet high is assured, and the winter is
secured to make such further changes in
the design as the artists may consider de
srable, more is gained than lost by the
postponement OF the actual work till
spring, and the completion of the monu
lhent III 1889 VIII not be thereby delayed.
