Estate had concluded to sell the Association
the plot of ground between the l o. o. +.

which has been prepared and the conditions
are evidently satisfactory, but official action
will not be taken by the Association until it

Girird Estate will have an official in attend
ance to make formal offer of the deed 1t
is very gratifying to the Association that the
Girard Estate has finally brought the matter
to a focus, 1t was the delay in that respect
that led to a suspension of active work on
the part of the Association since last summer,
as the members were not disposed to urge
the project until the question Of a site was
definitely settled. Now that this point has
been gained the Association will once more
direct its efforts to have the monument
erected
