The Dearth of Monuments in Pittsburg

The Pittsburg "press" is calling the
attention Of the city Identification com
mittee Of the greater Pittsburg associa-
ton to the lack Of public monuments in
that city, and suggests that to supply
such need is quite consistent with its
scope and purpose. Il is also remarked
that there is probably no city of any
pretensions in the world which has few
er public statues than Pittsburg. The
production and distribution Of coal and
iron have been too absorbing in their de-
mands upon the energies of its builders,
to put it mildly, to permit of much at
tention to the higher necessities of a
city. However, there is this consolation
in the matter, that while "it is never
too late to mend f" the delay may mean
far higher average Of art in its pub
lie monuments when results begin 20
