SP|RE To HONOR
1776 HEROES

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 21.-
Final plans for an observation
tower to be erected on Bowr1an'E
fill, overlooking Washington's
Crossing on the Delaware River
above Trenton, were approved by
the washington Crossing Park
Commission at q meeting held
here.
The tower will be 125 feet high
and will stand on Bowman's Hill,
from which point and on Jericho
Hill, its neighbor, sentinels from
the Continental Army observed
the HesSian soldiers carousing in
the streets Of Trenton on Christ
mas Eve Of 1776.
The site is exactly four miles
from where the crossing wcs ef'
fected and the attack on Trenton
launched.
Designed by the commission q
landscape architect. Arthur w.
Cowell, extreme simplicity will
rule in the erection Of the tower
Granite boulders taken from the
neighboring hillsides will be the
material from which the tower Is
to be built.
There viii be no lettering and
no upkeep cost in connection with
either the tower or the parkway
surrounding it. On the ceiling Of
q room to be built In the base Of
the memorial will be written the
history Of the battle that marked
. turning point in the American
Revolution.
Climbing to the top, visitors will
see before them the landscape
that Washington's ragged Cont.
nentals trod advancing through
New Hope and down the Della.
