Association in Debt.
I'm the very beginning of these
NEGOTIATIONS the statement said, lit
was freely admitted by the committee
appointed by and representing the as
Sociation that 1t was not only practically
without funds, but was several thou
sand dollars in debt; that it would be
unable to secure any further contribu-
tions unless and until the differences
we're settled, and that unless the nego-
tiations were successful. 1t was prac-
tically certain that no monument could
or ever would be built
while these negotiations were in
progress the association was unable tc
meet its pay rolls and all work was
suspended on the mountain and has
remained suspended for the past five
months.
After collecting and spending the
StupendouS sum of $1.195. .8451S the
association today is in debt in the sum
of more than $225,000. So
completely is the association without
funds that 1t was unable to pay the
Stone Mountain Granite Corporation
for the last carving done by it and Mr.
Willis &c. F. Willis. president of the
association. gave his individual note
for $1,000 to said corporation to meet
this indebtedness.
Under the conditions in the deed the
association was bound to complete the
central group of seven figures within IL
years The IL years expired on
April 80. 1928. and the association has
failed to carve one complete figure on
the mountain. Not a single condition
of the deed has been complied with, and
there Is and will be a forfeiture of the
property under the terms of the deed
conveying title to the association. ="
