Nr. Nctherwood Given the Contract
for gts Erection.

The bids for furnishing the material
and erecting the pedestal for the Lee
monument we're opened on Monday last
by Mr.. G. p. Il. Burgwyn. the engineer
in charge Of the work, and the Board Of
Managers. through Governor Lee, their
president, yesterday decided to give the
contract to Mr.. James n. Netherwood.
This gentleman's bid, which was the
lowest made. was about 81, 900. Mr..
Nctherwood contracts to have the pedes-
tal ready for the horse and rider within
twelve months, which insures its com
pletion by October /, 1889.
The contractor who. is now foreman Of
the work on the new City Hall, has had
much practical experience in matters OF
tins kind and he is well fitted to under
take this important job.
Governor Lee, eversince he assumed the
robes OF Office and thereby became presl-
dentofthe Board OF Managers, has worked
zealously in and out of season, and often
against great odds, for the success OF
this enterprise, Is very anxious that the
monument shall be entirely completed
before his term of Office expires.
Under NJ. Mercie's contract with the
association he is required to deliver the
bronze horse and rider, which will he as
large as the Washington equestrian
statue on the Capitol Square, by the
10Th of February, 1S90-eighteen months
after the adoption of his small model.
The Governor viii try and induce the
sculptor to ship the monument IN the
fall of 1889, so that it may be unveiled
prior to the 1st of January, 1890. 1t IS
believed that the sculptor can and Will
comply with this request.
The pedestal is to be sixty feet wide
at its base and forty-two feet high,
which. with the addition of twenty one
feet for the horse and rider, will make
the total height of the monument sixty
three feet. The circle around the monu-
ment Will be about four times the area
of the enclosure OF the Washington
monument on the Capitol Square. The
pedestal viii be surrounded by slabs Of
fine.cut granite placed on Inclined
planes. one terrace being placed above
another by means of arches. so as to
make the optical effect that OF much
greater height than really obtained.
The main pedestal will be supported by
four Ionic columns, which are to be OF
polished granite. Two Of the sides OF
the pedestal will have large memorial
tablets. on which will be inscribed some
of the deeds of the great commander.

that about two years ago my husband
violated one of the conditions of the

rance, but upon satisfactory grounds
you reinstated tine policy. and now am
promptly paid the proceeds thereof, as
above.
In this connection beg to thank the
agent of your company here for his
prompt and courteous attention to the

and to all Appearances correctly so, that
Mr.. Sol. Haas had been induced TO re-
main general traffic manager of the As
sociated Railways instead Of taking a
similar position with the Chesapeake and
Ohio, as he had for some weeks contem-
plated doing. A prominent railroad
official said yesterday afternoon that he
thought that the Richmond and Dan
vile aud other systems In the associa-
ton had made Mr.. Haas such liberal in
ducements that he could not well afford
not to remain. Mr.. Haas is out of the
city. and therefore could not be seen.

Park improvements.

The appropriations for keeping the
several parks Of the city in order. as
also for their betterment, was exhausted
some months since, aud the Council has
thus far Jailed to give more for that OBJ
rect. The recent heavy rams have
washed some of the walks very badly,
and small amount of money expended
a., thom now will save the use Of much
larger sum later. The grass and weeds
also need cutting very badly, and as the
committee ask only for a small appro-
priation for this purpose it would seem
the part Of wisdom for the Council to
piyp it.
