Cleveland County herald., 1919-02-06

Although there was unanimity of opinion that Arkansas should erect a monument to the Arkansas soldiers and sailors who have made the su- preme sacrifice in the present war, there was marked divergence of opinion as to how the funds should be raised when the matter was preached an the Senate.
 Senators Utley, Vaughan, Emory and Townsend introduced a resolu. ton endorsing a movement to raise, by public subscription, through tho State Council of Defense, fund to erect such monument. Senator Brown immediately objected, declar- ing that such plan only meant delay, and declaring he favored immediate action through legislature appropri- ation.
 To back up his stand he introduced . bill few minutes later seeking to appropriate $100,000 for such a monu- ment, and to create a commission composed of the governor, auditor and secretary of state to have charge of the fund. The bill went to the bud ret committee.
 Senator Brown said that while he was in favor of erecting an elegant monument to the dead heroes, he was opposed to passing tho hat" to get tho funds. The resolution, however, was adopted when it was explained that it's adoption would not have any bearing on the fate of an appropria- ton bill such as Senator Brown intro duced a few minutes later.
 Senator Emory's bill, regulating public utilities that better service may be had. provides that when such corporations fail or refuse to main tain adequate facilities to comply with their franchises shall be subject to . penalty of not less than s1,o0o, nor more than $15.o0o. for each day of such failure or refusal. each day to constitute a separate ofrense.
