Veterans association. Nathan c. Foreign Wars and John Matodziski was the representative of Kosciusz- ko post, Later Mir. Avery joined the American Legion and moved out of the city to Maple Hill so he retired as the Foreign War Veter- ans representative and Edward Johnson was named to replace him.
 Considerable progress was made toward the fulfillment of the dream about this time. The common coun- ell authorized the board of finance and taxation to set figure as to the cost, the board of finance and taxation recommended an appropri- ation and when the matter was again brought before the council it was passed. The last step was to pass the city meeting board, an or ganization which has since passed out of existence. The proposition was tabled on vote of this body in May. 1924.
 The matter lay dormant until June 1926. a few months after Mayor Gardner (. Weld came into office. The former committee was reap pointed by the mayor to try once more to have the memorial estab- 1ished. Arthur G. Kimball was added to the committee at this time

 The original committee consisted of George w. !. Dyson, chairman: Charles F. Smith. Judge Bernard F. Gaffney, Georse T. Kimbail and A. F. Corbin.

 For more than six years an &C., tive campaign by a group of indi- viiuals has been carried on to es. tablish some type of memorial which would show that the people of New Britain appreciated the noble sacri- flee which soldiers, sailors and ma rines made during the World War. Severe obstacles faced this group and at times the patience of some Of Che most enthusiastic was taxed. On one occasion hope was abandon ed altogether. but after two years the movement again began with greater enthusiasm.

whether he had lost his way after sue
cessfully leaving the plane. Searchers
based their belief that he had made a
parachute leap on the fact that his
parachute was not found in the wreck
