MCGOWAN COMPANY TO
ERECT D0ANE PEDESTAL.
Tentative Agreement of Memorial Com
mittee with Monahan Concern Tg-
nored by Shade Tree Commission.

Despite the fact that the Monahan
Stone Company had a tentative agree
ment with the Doane memorial COM
nittee to erect the pedestal for the
statue of Monsignor Doane. that will
stand in Trinity triangle, in Broad
street, the Shade Tree Commission yes
terday awarded the contract to the
lowest bidder, the Powers-McGowan
Company, whose bid was $50.
1t is understood that John Monahan,
president of the Monahan Stone Com
pany. was told to go ahead and erect
the base, by the memorial committee,
and that the company had purchased
the stone. Mr.. Monahan had several
consultations with the sculptor in re-
gard to the matter. but it was put in
the hands of the Shade Tree Commits
sion, and as the cost of the base was to
be borne by the city, the commissioners
ignored the stand of the committee,
advertised for bids, and. in accordance
with the law, awarded the contract to
the lowest bidders.
The commissioners stated that they
had no official knowledge of any con-
tract entered into with The Monahan
Company, and could not in any event
honor any contract or agreement en-
tered into with that company by the
monument committee whom the city's
money was involved.
