IN my opinion, there is one site in.
Eatrmont that is almost an ideal for
the location Of any detached nonu.
ment or building. And that Is the prop
critics ct the head OF Adams street. 81
which the Arnett property is the most
important. This site Is the terminus
or our most important thoroughfare.
and Tar enough removed from thu
commercial section Of the city to es-
cape criticism, in that score. and is. at
the same ame, ofseasy access to those
who would avail themselves Of the
privileges Of the memorial. And. in
addition to these, 1t is the site Of the
former home OF our first governor.
There ~ sufficient land in these
properties, and OF such contour that
an interesting landscape setting can
be made for the memorial, which
viii add, !mmcasurably, to its dignity
and expression. And future building
operations in this locality can be so
controlled AZ to prevent any condi.
ton that would mar the effectiveness
