The collectors will be around that day. Next week we ex- pect to say something more about the finances in this matter; but it might be stated now in passing that no large amount of money will be re- guired from any citizen to carry out the plan now in hand. Some changes have been made in the original plan by which it was in- tended to erect the Memorial on the vacant lot north of the weigh scales. Before going ahead with the project investigation was made, and it was found that the lot in question was the property of Railway Company and consequently was not available without permission from the railroad authorities. 'While it was believed that this per- mission would readily be given, it was thought 'advisable not to carry out the original plan especially when it would appear that a memorial placed on railroad property would itself become the property of the railroad. A natural result of this discovery was to seek another spot for the memorial and that place has been located, with the consent of the Council, in front of the Powerhouse. This will now be converted into a Memorial Park and there will be a general improvement of the water- front, including a memorial entrance, a proper disposition of the War trophy sent by Major General Mac- Brien, and a pavilion or wide veran- dah in front of the Powerhouse. This will be in harmony with the general clean-up policy at the lake front. We owe it to those who went to the Front to make some proper memorial of the sacrifice they made. Other and more ambitious schemes have been mentioned, but some of them| seem to be beyond our means and would simply postpone the day when the Port Perry Memorial would be Taised and the day is now long past e. We trust that our citizens will put their hearts behind the project and carry it through successfully. The money you give will be wisely spent. - Mr. Hutcheson has been appointed treasurer and the memorial fund will : a We are allesing for this week special prices on our "stock of Cut Glass...
