He stated that his work now is to
complete his report upon the plans
and complete designs and report prog
ress to the commissioners at Pierre,
S. ID.
He refers to congressional action.
This is taken to mean that United
States Senator Peter Norbeck of South
Dakota. who was one of the leading
men to formulate original plans for
the memorial. will seek to. have Con-
gress appropriate the sum necessary
for completion of the carvings.
According to an estimate made
public by Mr.. Borglum some months
ago while in South Dakota. the prof.
ect involving the carving of the four
historical characters will involve the
expenditure of from $1,000,000 to
$1,250,0O0.
Mr. Borglum. before his departure
from South Dakota for the South
about q month or six weeks ago, col
lected $1,000 in cash from the resi-
dents of Black Hills cities for making
the preliminary survey of Rushmore
Mountain.
The report, now denied by him. that
the people of South Dakota would be
required to contribute 5000 addi-
tional had caused encouragement
among these who favored the project
who were about ready to abandon the
whole plan, for had the report been
true it would have been practically
impossible to raise the $4,000 in
South Dakota, and the whole project
would have faced certain disaster.
