ERROR In A COLUMN,
SOME FAULT FOUND WITH THE LEE
MONUMENT PEDESTAL.
An Important Piece of Granite-Work Of
scant Size, But It's Security Not
Endangered.

Since the completion of the pedestal of
the Lee monument it has been noticed and
commented upon by many that the north
eastern and southeastern columns are APP
parently defective, either because not pro-
perly turned and set or because misshapen.
Some attribute this to an architectural
defect, while others persist in claiming
that 1t is an optical delusion."
A Dispatch reporter last night called at
the residence of Mr.. James Netherwood,
who had the contract for all the stone
work, and made inquiries as to whether
these statements are we'll founded, ana II
so IN what way the trouble can be rene
died.
PERFECT WITH ONE EXCEPTION.
Mr.. Netherwood in reply to these in
quiries said:
An the columns but one, in my
judgment, are perfect. This ia the south
eastern one, which without doubt is not
exactly as it should be. but hardly one man
in a thousand will perceive it,. and | can
vouch for the security of the pedestal:
As we had no machines in Richmond
sufficiently large to roll columns OF
this size we were compelled to have
them prepared North, and 1t seems that
one of the blocks of stone from which
the columns were rolled was somewhat
scant, thereby causing the discrepancy
noted. They were prepared in Barry, VT,
by one Of the largest manufacturing estab-
lishments of the kind in the United States.
THE DEPICT NOTICED.
1--WE noticed the defect shortly after the
arrival of the columns in Richmond" con-
tinuod Mr.. Netherwood, but it was then
too late TO rectity the error, as We were
very much pressed for time, believing that
the unveiling would take place in Novem-
Der. as was at first determined.
No one is more sorry for it than | am,
and had it been possible for us TO remedy
the defect and complete the monument at
the appointed time, we would have
fastened to do so, but fully believing
that the unveiling ceremonies would take
place in November. we realized the i'm
possibility of altering or changing the
column, and getting the pedestal ready at
the appointed time.
THE BEAUTY NOT MARRIED.
with the exception of these columns,
which were made North at total cost OF
$1,000, or over $500 apiece. the entire
pedestal was done by masons Of this city.
It is absolutely without other fault and
this defect, in my opinion. is very trivial,
ard in no way will mar the beauty or en-
danger the safety Of the structure.
We might have corrected the evil even
at the last moment had not the company
to whom / gave the contract for the
columns been exceedingly slow in filling
my order, thereby causing additional de-
lay when time was most precious"
EXAGGERATED.
Mr.. Netherwood added that while he adj
mItted the southeastern column was lit
tie misshapen, he thought the matter had
been considerably and unnecessarily ex-
aggerated.
The only remedy he could suggest is the
removal of the defective column and the
substitution OF new one.
