COUNCIL SLAVES OFF
MONUMENT REMOVAL
BY REFUSING PERMIT

MACON, GA, Dec. 12.-By refusing
to give the receiver of the Marietta
Marble and Granite Company permits
sion to work in a city park, the city
council is seeking to save the monu-
ment to the 'Women of the South. -
which was unveiled here two years ago
by the veterans and Daughters of the
Confederacy with much ceremony.
The shaft was purchased by the vet
Grams, but has never been fully paid for.
The veterans presented the monument
to the Daughters of the Confederacy,
and they in turn gave it to the city,
which erected it in the park in front of
the city hall.
The receiver for the marble company
wants to dismantle the monument be-
cause of the unpaid Indebtedness, but is
prevented by reason of not having the
citys consent to work in a. city park.
Members of council openly stated In
meeting that they would never willing
ly give the permission, and referred the
request to a committee, with the re-
quest that action be delayed on It as
long as possible.
The local attorney for the receiver of
the marble company states that q man
damus will probably be sought against
the city to force II to allow the dis
mantling of the monument
