 in their treasury, about SITS, to the fund for providing memorial tablet in honor of Readings service men. Other sums available for this purpose make a totas of about s450, which is thought to be sufficient, and plans for securing the tablet and placing 1t in the new building at Putnam Park will be speedily carried out. It is expected that Governor Lake will come here in a month or two to in spect and formally accept the park building on behalf of the State and should the memorial have then been installed its unvelling and dedication will be com mbined with the other cere- irony. Otherwise the dedicatory ex- erciseS will probably be deferred to Welcome Home day early in August, that anniversary having been made a permanent feature. In the uncer- tainly remote future when Bedding has a new town hall the tablet will be transferred to it.
