Denver. May 25.-As soon after the
Memorial Day exercises nrc over rs Is
possible the commission having In
GAarge the erection OF tho monument
% Colorado veterans who died in the
Civil War will meet and decide upon
the details of the work. This com.

Donald. Department Commander Geo.
W. Curfman and John ID. Howland. the
artist. A few days ago the governor
notified the other members that the
money was available for the monument
and that plans for It's erection should
be taken up. Yesterday Commander
Carfman and Mr.. Rowland called upon
the governor and It was decided to cali
n meeting us soon after Memorial Day
us possible.
Fifteen thousand dollars was appro-
priated by the Legislature for this pur.
pose. The law provides that the com.
mission must first select n site on the
capitol grounds for the monument and
then advertise for designs.
When the designs are submitted tho
most suitable will be chosen by the
commission and the contract let for the
stone work.
II is likely that the site selected will
be the one upon which the fiagpole in
memory OF the Colorado soldiers who
died in the Spanish War now stands.
