Liberty Bell Green

The suggestion comes from sev- eral sources that the green or trian- gle on which stands the new sol diers' monument and liberty bell be named Liberty Bell green---a fine suggestion, very beautiful and ap- propriate. The names Triangle place, Triangle park or Triangle square do not seem to fit this lovely spot, with it's unique and splendid monument. Norfolk will ever be proud of this memorial to the mem ory of her boys in the great war and erected by the town itself. An ex- pression of opinion of others as to the name would be welcomed. X.
