MONUMENT BECOMES
An ASSURED FACT

The Southside's monument to the
Sworld-war dead became an assured
fact last night when reports made at
the meeting called by Judge Ernest H.
Wells indicated fun subscription
No accurate estimate of the money
subscribed could be given out. owing
to the great number of people en-
gagged in the anvassing work and the
number OF subscribers who have not
yet turned in their cards, but the sum
Will eventually reach the $4,000
mark
Judge Wells presided at the meet
ing, which was held in the hastings
court room, and Delegate James j.
Jones and Willis C. Pulliam made short
talks on the proposed monument John
n. Robertson and w. F.. Bryce. super
intendent OF the Virginia Railway and
Power company, made several sugges-
tions which were adopted.
The meeting was attended by the
finance committee as a whole. The diff
hculties encountered in the canvassine
plan were enumerated. All of the
workers are voluntary and much time
Is required in visiting every home in
the community. Every effort lis be-
ing made to confine the movement to
the Southside. as the monument will
be erected in the memory OF Southside
boys and the committee feels that only
residents of that community should
contribute.
Another meeting will be held next
Tuesday night, at which committee
VIII be appointed to visit all manufac-
turers on the Southside. The business
people have as yet been untouched and
large contribution is expected
The site will not he selected uStil after
the funds have been raised. At that
time every contributor will be given
chance to vote for his favorite site.
Among the sites suggested for the
monument are the corner of Cowardn
avenue and Bainbridge street adjoin-
ing the high school, and at the inter-
section n the New road and the Mid =
lothian turnpike, where Hull street is
formed.
