contxact for its conntruction.
The memoruii. which is at Mt. Au

reqcired ovpr a year and a half to
comiJrte. The fund for its construc

June, 1911, and was Bome time ago
fully subscribed. These t ontribution ?
have heen made as expreasion.s of

The site on Trhich the memorial Is

grade haa renderftJ postsible a more

which is approximately 80 feet square,
slopes pradually from the level of

It is interesting architecturally to
