The following recommendation OF the
m ,yor and report of committee regard
| ing erecting city hall and memorial
to our soldiers and sailors read:
Gentlemen of the Council:
| During the past few weeks the sug
! gestlon has come. to me from many
| sources, that the city of E1gerton
should In some appropriate manner,
SHOW it's appreciation of the work Of
our soldiers and sailors The sentiment
| EXPRESSED has at all times met with my
approval, and IN order that the ideas of
our citizens could be obtained, | APP
pointed committee to canvass the SIT
uation and TO work out some method of
providing a lasting memorial for the
bows of this community, who have
been in the service of their country.
The advisability of building city hall
has been discussed more or less during
the past ten years, and now Is an ap-
propriate time to consider the question
of erecting a building in honor of our
soldiers and sailors, and at the same
time equip it for municipal use.
| take pleasure in submitting thu
report of the committee and recon-
mending it for your favorable consid
GRAFTON.
Jos. J. Leary, Mayor.
To the Honorable Mayor of the City of
Edgerton:
The committee appointed by you to
consider the subject of memorial To
the soldiers and sailors, beg to report:
That they are unanimously agreed
that action should be taken by the
common council of Edgerton to erecr
some lasting memorial of the achieve
ments by the boys of this community
who have been in service.
That such memorial should be of the
most universal practical service and
use and yet perpetuate and symbolic
the traditions, principles, aims and sac
rifles by those of this day and age to
inspire future generations.
In our judgment the most fitting me-
mortal would be a community civic ano
municipal building, to contain rooms
for common council meetings, city of
ficers, fire department and hall or
rooms for the use of any organization
which may be formed by recent serv-
ice men, with tablets for recording
such service.
A desirable central location should
be secured and bond issue submitted
to paw for lot and erection of building
at the earliest date that building con-
dItions seem advisable.
A comprehensive survey of the needs |
of the community should be made in |
order that the utmost use may be OBJ |
tanned
In making this recommendation for a |
merial to ALL persons in the service
we assume that some other suitable |
recognition he made at earliest prac
teal date i'm memory of those whose |
last service has been rendered.
Respectfully submitted,
Aid. F. l.. Kellogg Adolph Jensen
