A STATUE ERECTED.
Some time ago there appeared In this
column an item 10 the effect that an ar
tistic statue had been secured AT the At
lantic Mills. This statue was Grated
and tucked away In a store room. bat the
fact that IL was hidden from sight did
not prevent the fact from becoming
known TO the outside world.
II was naturally supposed that So
costly an ornament would he erected I'm
most conspicuous place. presumably on
tho handsome lawn In front OF No ! Mil
and Manton avenue. This morning the
News man was called 10 Alleppo street.
and on his way there saw a strange figure
on the lawn owned by the mill, at the
| corner OF Manton avenue and Alleppo
street The management may have good
reasons for placing the statue in SO OBJ
scurc a spot and perhaps one reason
is that they do not care TO have the public
see II. for the lawn is enclosed with a
high fence made Of heavy pickets. placed
about four inches wide and are set about
an inch apart. So by the time that
person got good look at the statue he
would need TO call upon an optician.
The statue Is really work Of art and
should occupy "A more prominent position,
FOR whore IL is now located IT can not be
seen by but few Of the operatives OF the
| mill.
