and the date OF their entrance into the valley.
Mr.. c. q. Dallin has offered to furnish and
put IN place all the bronze work and TO do the

reasonable figure, and we therefore recommend
mat Mr.. Dallin's offer be accepted with the
understanding, however, that the models of the
figures aud the details OF the whole design shall
be fist approved by this committee.
The execution of the whole work should be
under the general superintendent of Mr. Dali

TO employ an architect to get out the drawings
for the stone work, ard then to contract for the
execution OF the stone work as designed Your
committee now respectfully ask fer authority
TO Do this.
The cost of tde whole monument, including
all items OF expense, except the site, will your
committee estimate be under 100 0OO
