HOW IT SHOULD FACE
QUESTION RAISED WITH REFERENCE
TO THE LlBBY-HlLL STATUE.
Colonel Cutshaw Thinks IL Sh"u'" LOON
Down the River and Mr.. sheppcrd
Tn Main street-Othcr Matters

The Executive Committee Of the Con-
federate Soldiers and Sailors Monument
Association met In the Chamber OF COM
mercc Building yesterday afternoon. ana
was in session several hours.
Colonel Cutshaw appeared before the
committee and stated that, much 10 MS
surprise. he had learned that IL was
intended TO face the statue TOWARDS MAIN
street. He contended that this was OPP
posed TO sentiment. and. as he conce'en
u. TO the general idea Of the compost
ton. II ought to face down the rNer'
He thought It "A matter OF SUFFICIENT I'M
portance to bring to the attention OF tfle
committee IL not to that of the assOcia-
ton.
THE ARTISTS IDEA.
Mr.. Sheppcrd who made the deslsh 10.
the statue. said IL had been CONSTITUENCIES
with a view 10 its facing Main street.
Uo understood that to be the sense OF
the Committee on Design. There wouid
have been something In the contention
that IL should face towards the SUI
posed position Of the enemy II the ue-
sign with the hand up to the prlih Vi
the cap had not btcH db"hH''''''
facing It towards Main street the pest
view Of 1t could be gotten from the
greatest number of approaches.
Mr.. Randolph raised the point tnat inc
question Of the position OF the statue was
one with which the Executive commute
had nothing to do. He was sustained IN
this. and the matter was.laid on the taoie'
with the understanding that the pr-sl-
dent Of the association would cali a meet
ing of the association for MonGay AFTER
noon at o'clock to decide H.
BROUGHT WITHOUT CiAlEGt.
The president reported that the Penn
svlvania and the Richmond, Fr-derlcks,
hurg and Potomac roads had TRANSPORTED
the statue to Richmond free OF cost anu
resolutions thanking these companies were
adopted. .,1
II was decided that the statue wouiu
be drawn by hand from the depot 10 ilp-
bv Hill Saturday afternoon at J O'CLOCK
fl was also decided that the commute,
would furnish carriages on the DAY oi
the unwilling for the ladies who conduct
ed the memorial bazaar.

vested in the City Council. Now the
scheming Tenth Ward politician happens
to have large constituency which is en-
ployed in that department and he
naturally Is desirous OF strength
ening his grip on the poss-
ession OF Aldermanic and Legislative
seats. He has been instrumental in the
passage OF the nine hour law and is favor
able TO the abolishment of the poll tax
and annual registration. Now he wants
the privilege of fixing the rate
of compensation for highway labor
and picking out favorites to serve on COM
missions to lay out certain highways in
immediate jurisdiction governed of course
by a consuming desire to promote its de-
velopment and prosperity rather than with
any hope of personal emolument. But
the scheme will meet with a prompt re-
lection in the Common Council Monday v
night, and today members of the Board of
Aldermen are somewhat exercised over
their falling into the trap
which was so cleverly laid
by the calculating member from Ward
TO- The conflict OF authority under the
old system between the engineering and
highway departments has been rendered
impossible, and interference with the
statutory enactment would revive the
old-time controversies.
