To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
l see that r. Z. Lee Camp Confederate
Veterans ct their meeting on Monday night
selected plan for a Confederate monument
to be erected in this city, but did not decide
upon site for the monument. Now, Mr.
Editor, would not the vacant lot on
Washington street, opposite the cotton fac
tory, be- the most appropriate spot? Place
the monument in It's centre and turn the
grounds into park. This would cause the
surrounding lands to be built up with first
class dwellings, and beautify that end of the
city and be an ornament 10 the city and
complimentary TO the ladies, whose energies
deserve great praise. l have no doubt that
the present owners would put the price at
very low sum, or perhaps show their liberal
spirit by donating it to the Camp, and hand
down their names to the posterity that are
to come as generous and liberal citizens to
their old homes. This would start many
other liberal and enterprising citizens to
building residences all along and on both
sides of washington, Columbus and Oconoko
streets.
Please push this ball along and stir up
the ladies and others so it can be done at
once A gentleman, reading the above,
said If they selected the above lot he would
dongte stone enough to build the founda-
ton OF the monument.
