The action OF the county commits

sentiment which is aroused in favor
of the memorial. Except to approve OF
the appropriation and recommend

sioners can do nothing. The commits

preparations to the county council.
which will meet in September. The,
council as rule approprfates

the commissioners.
A state statue authorizes the approj
priation of county funds for the pur5
pose of memorials to soldiers. Al
though no estimate has been mad4
as to the cost of having bronze cas-
made from the statue. 1t Is believed
that 1t will cost In the neighborhood

be placed on the court house grounds
as this is the only place where 1t
could be located. according to opin;
ions of those who have inspected thel

Patriotic organizations are lookina
forward to the state conventions next
year and expect the dedication Of the
proposed statue to be one Of the con.
vention features. In fact this was one
of the promises which were made tt
the state conventions this year In Sc
lecting this city as the 1911 meetins
place. AS the commercial organixa-
tions are interested In the conventions
and assisted much in securing them:

to favorable action on the matter By
