Appointment of committee of nine to consider the advisability of a Rockwell Memorial to perpetuate the memory of the late Park Com missioner Albert F. Rockwell was decided upon at a meeting of in- terested citizens last night in the city court room. Representative Arthur S. Barnes was chairman of the meeting and Principal Henry F. Cottle of the high school was sec- retary. The committee membership was then decided to consist of three citizens at large, one from the Catholic church, one from the Pro- testant churches, one from the park board, Mayor John r. Wade, one from the merchants and one from | the manufacturers.
 The citizens at large chosen were: Arthur S. Barnes, Elmer E. Stock ton and Eugene Giamatteo.
 A proposal by James C. Parsons that the new high school be rededi- cated and renamed the Albert r. Rockwell high school and that suit able bronze tablets be placed in the school, was not receiced with any degree of cordiality by the meeting, which seemed to favor the erection of bust of MT. Rockwell at a cost of about 5000 either on the Me- morial Boulevard tract or at Rock well park.
 The committee of nine will hold an organization meeting at once so that the findings of It's members may be transmitted to the city at large as soon as possible. In the perma- nent organization of the ways and means committee, MT. Cottle was re- tained as secretary.
 Rain in Plenty.
 The abundant rain of last night sent the public works department employees out early this morning to see that the surface sewer system was working properly in order that storm damage might not result. Everything was proceeding smooth ly so that the department officials breathed a sigh of relief as the dis astrous flood of last year occurred about this time and a repetition was not desired.
 The Ice House Last. Building an ice house after the ice has been stacked, has become 8 reality in this city, for such is being done on Middle street on the land recently bought by the Bristol Pure Ice Co. The ice was harvested from Pine Lake, Judge Malone's pond, in Forestville, and after being stacked as though already in an ice house, workmen began to set up the forms to pour concrete. The concrete is now being poured and as soon as it sets, the ice house will be finished After the house itself is finished an office will be built in connection with it. The ice was stacked about 80 feet high so that the novel method of building attracted much attention, a!s many wondered what was to be done with the pile of ice in the cen ter Of the lot
