4 MAYOR Of Worcester Mrs. Bowen has
4 been contemplating this idea for about
two weeks, but a pressure of business
| connected with her school made it I'M
| possible to take definite action until
| Tuesday, when she came to a final deci-
sion She laid her plan before Mayor
Dodge, who readily consented to take
| official care of the funds of the enter
prise. The first idea was to turn the
proceeds over to a Boston or New York
fund but this was abandoned, and the
proceeds of the entertainment will be
held in trust until it is definitely de-
c!ded where such a monument shall be
erected, and then the offerings of Wor-
cester will be properly placed.
Another idea which occurred to Mrs
Bowen was a voluntary contribution of
one cent by each Of the 20004 registered
school children in tine city, so that in
future years they might have the pleas
ant memory that they had an individual
interest in the monument TO the Names
