MEMORIAL CLOCK
 FOR JANSEN PARK
Mrs. Ida T.. Lochridge and the City Council Agree on Form of n Hand
 some Feature to Honor Friend
 of the City's Beauty Spot.


 Under the bequest of c. L. Loch- ridge and under the direction of Mrs. G. l.. Lochridge, memorial clock is to be erected in Janssen Park. The matter was brought before the city council at the recent meeting and the following resolution was adopted which fully explains the bequest and the project:
 Resolution.
 Whereas, on the first day of June, 1917, MT. G. L. Lochridge, resident and citizen of Mena, died, and before his death he made and executed his last will and testament in which he left to Janssen Park in the City of Mena, One Thousand Dollars, to be used for the benefit of the said park, in such way as should be desired by his widow, Ida L. Lochridge, who was suggested and appointed executrix of the said will.
 Whereas, It now appears that the said Ida l.. Lochridge desires to car " out the said provisions of the said will and to cause to be erected at some suitable and convenient place in the said park a Memorial Clock as a fullfillment of the terms of the said will and when done the same to be &C., cepted by the City of Mena in full of said bequest, and it appearing that the plans for the said Memorial Clock as suggested by Mrs. Lochridge, will cost considerable in excess of the One Thousand Dollars, and perhaps will cost Thirty-Five Hundred Dollars, but this extra expense is offered to be borne by Mrs. Lochridge of her own means without any charge to the City, and when this Clock is placed in the park as proposed the council believes it will add much to the beauty and at traction of said park.
 Therefore, Be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Mena, does by this resolution, give and grant to Ida L. Lochridge, widow of the said George L. Lochridge, deceased, the right and privilege of erecting at some suitable location in Janssen Park, Memorial Clock, with such in- scription as to her is befitting in memory of her said husband, said To- cation to be agreed upon by the mayor and Mrs. Lochridge.
 Be it further resolved, that when completed and turned over to the park that it be accepted in full of the said legacy, and that the city will then take charge of it and maintain it in as good condition as when received, save the natural decay.
