1HE GRANT MONUMENT, WITH LEN
history, is thrown at last into the shadow Of
what is fast becoming the greatest monument
in the country. il will soon be thing of the
past, and only its memory will remain for con-
venient use when one wants synonym for
representation.
Even after money for the monument had
been subscribed, the progress on the work of
construction was invisible except through a
microscope. Almost three years were wasted
after the ground was broken for the foundations
before the first stone was set. There has been
trouble with the contractors, trouble with the
quarries asd trouble with everyone else, it
seems; but the Grant Monument Association,
with Gen Horace Porter at its head, which
now has the work in charge. has completed the
fund, and secured a contractor who is pushing
the work to completion.
COMPLETE IN A YEAR.
Contractors estimates should be submitted
generally 10 a process of liberal discount, but
IL those of the tomb builders materialize the
structure will be completed within year. All
ceremonies in connection with this project are
held on the anniversary of Grants birth, and
an imposing spectacle is being planned for the
formal opening of the monument in April.
