PLANS DISCUSSED FOR MoNU
 MENT FOUND.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

krTOm 1huISOay O21ly.)
 Yesterday morning the Buckley O'Neill monument fund commission
 met at the chambers of Judge Sloan,
 the county building, to discuss and
 promote plans for furthering the work
 ahead. The entire membership was in attendance, Hon. Robert E. Morrison
 presiding, and Judge Sloan acting in
 the capacity of secretary.
 1 Quite a number of small contribu-
 tiOns that had been received by mem
 bers of the commission since the time
 of the last previous meeting were turn
 ed over to the treasurer of the fund. While no definite action was taken
 with reference to rushing the work of
 securing funds, this phase of the mat
 ter was fully discussed and various sug-
 gestions offered and talked over sf- fecting this part of the work in hand.
 Among other valuable suggestions was that of requiring each member of the commission to report list of names
 of persons likely to assist in getting
 the needed funds, who are to be com
 municated with by mail, and asked to take a hand in the work under way. It is not at all unlikely that within
 a short time some of the better known
 and more prominent women of the
 territory will be included among those
 who are to push this monument idea
 to a successful issue. This was sug-
 gested in the meeting of yesterday,
 and when the time is propitious they will dc their share toward raising the needed fund, throughout many differ ent sections of the territory.
 It seems that the real brake to a more rapid and systematic canvass is caused by the delay in making some definite agreement with the supervisors of Iavapai county. The matter of the site for the monument has been practically agreed upon, but thus far the beard of supervisors has given no direct reply to the petition of the monument commission for a donation to the fund Appreciating that until the home county has shown it's lib erality in helping toward the con struetien of this memorial, it win be | unwise to make a request from other ! counties, the commission has been forced to await the action of the "a vapai supervisors
