Counties In Cornerstone Program


Counties In Cornerstone Program.
Governor Ritchie has been asked to
appoint committee to represent the
counties and collaborate with city
committee in working out plans for
the laying of the cornerstone and the
dedication OF the War Memorial Build
ing to be held Sunday, April 20.
A meeting is to be held this week
at which Col Harry C. Jones, chair
man of the City Memorial Commission,
and e. Brooke Lee, head of the State
Memorial Commission, will arrange
a program. In the meantime " Is
hoped that Mayor Broening will re-
ceive responses to the invitations sent
to President Harding: John w.
Weeks, Secretary Of War, and Edwin
DENLY, Secretary Of the Navy. The
plan is to have the President make
the principal address.
The original intention was to hold
the ceremony on Memorial Day. but
the building project is now about
month ahead of schedule and the work
might be held up If the cornerstone
laying were deferred until May 80.
\ The stone will be laid at the north
east corner of the structure, Lexing-
ton and Frederick streets. Sunday
was chosen to give opportunity to the
great number to be present. The
State and county officials and repre-
sentatiyes will be entertained by the
city on the day Of the ceremony.
1t is expected that the structure will
be under roof by late fall and maybe
completed by spring, although addi.
tional time will be required to com
plete the decoration and furnishing of
the interior. The foundation is
ready in place.
Plans for the development OF War
Memorial Plaza, the open space be.
tween the City Hall and the Memorial
Building, are nearing completion and
will be made public soon. In general,
it was learned, that the space will be
developed as paved plaza surround
ed by terraces.
City engineers are now working on
plans for widening and strengthening
the streets on each side of the Mem
orial Building and other improvements
which will add greatly to the beauty
of that part Of the Civic Center,
