SITES AND PLANS.

When the elite for tho Lee equestrian
statue was chosen at the west end OF
Franklin Street, there was no little OBJ
lection raised, because 1t was urged that
It was out in the country. That was In
1887, and the monument was unveiled May
90 1900.
And for good many years really II
did look as II no building improvements
were to be made In that neghhorhood.
Rut what have we seen in the past two
or three ycars7 Why. Lee District Is

we do not know, but the fact stated at
least goes to show what change or
opinion has come within recent years.
The suggestion Is also heard sometimes
that perhaps after all the best thing that
could be done would be to build monu-
meht over MIR. Davis grave in Hollywood
something that would be classic, appro-
pirate, enduring and not antagonistic to
tho wishes expressed by him as to his
last resting place.
The site that has been selected for the
aus and by the Daughters both--is Mon:
roe Park, and no charge will or can be
made as to It without action upon the
"a Of the Monument Committee of the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
That organzatio will holdga meeting
in due season, and as we have said before.
it IS for 1t to decide, or at least recon-
mend, whether there shall be change
OF site or design.
TIL, impression prevails that the cost
of building materials is 30. dear now that
the Gudebrod arch could not be built with
the funds in hand, even&if the universal
judgment approved the design. However,
we do not wish to anticipate or enlbarrass
the action OF the Daughters. AS we have
said, there can be no reconsideration eX-
cept through them, and they are full
handed now with information on the sub
ject. They have made the Davis monu-E
ment a possibility. Having shown SO
much sagacity. they may be trusted to do
the rest equally sensibly.

In plenty who have faith in them. And
that such stones have done good we doubt
not; done good In relieving the stress of
