STAT E
CAPITAL

The plans Of former Mayor James
H. Preston for a memorial to the sol
dlers, sailors and marines OF Mary
land who served so valiantly in the
great war are to be carried out. al
least that portion which provides for
memorial building east Of the City
Hall will be fulfilled.
The War Memorial Commission OF
the state and subcommittee OF the
city's commission met in the Gov
ernor's office, and the two bodies not
only agreed to work together, but
adopted a resolution fayoring the
erection Of a memorial building on
the site made available by the City
Of Baltimore.
This site is east of Gay street, be
tween Lexington and Fayette streets.
Former Mayor Preston wanted to
erect memorial of such char.
acter shortly after the termination
Of the war. Former Governor Har.
rington's commission was not in
sympathy with the plan. and there
was anything but harmony. Mr..
Preston had plans for the memorial
structure prepared by Thomas Hast
ings. the eminent architect All
memorial plans were finally laid
aside until after the change in the
state and municipal administrations
The Hastings plans are available
for the new memorial commissions,
but no action has been taken as to
the type Of structure to be erected,
except that it sis the sense Of the
joint committee that the memorial
consist of a memorial building of
artistic design, containing proper
utilitarian features, to be determined
by the committees Of the state and
city in conjunction with a building
committee recommended to be named
by the respective commissions.
The meeting was attended by State
Comptroller E. Brooke Lee. Emory L.
Coblentz, Senator David G. Mcintosh,
Jr, DR.. Hugh H. Young and Sergeant
Richard O'Connell, on behalf of the
state. and Postmaster Sherlock
Swami, Col. Louis NJ. Rawlins, Mrs.
B. W. Corkran and Lieutenant Com
mander B. W. Northcroft, on behalf
Of the city.
With the exception Of only a few
pieces Of property, the city owns all
Of that property east of Gay street
to the Fallsway, between Fayette and
Lexington streets. 1t was acquired
as a part of the proposed Civic Cen.
ter. Some of the property has been
leased until 1922, thus the erection
of the memorial will not be immedi-
ate. There are funds in the state
and municipal treasures appropri-
ated for use for a memorial. and
during the next few years this ap-
preparation will very probably be
added to so that Baltimore will ulti-
mately erect one of the finest me.
MORALS to be found anywhere in the
United States.
The block directly east Of the City
Hall, bounded by Fayette, Gay. Lex
ington and Holiday streets. will be
developed as beauty spot" be-
tween the two buildings.

Cumberland.-An ordinance was
introduced in City Council calling
upon the City Attorney to define the

to do with enforcing the volstead

rate for natural gas supplied TO Cum

for the erection and maintenance of
an artificial gas plant here.
