FOR BOARD OF TRADE HEROES.
Talk of Erecting a Monument to Battery Boys Who Died in the Service.
A special committee from the Board of Trade Battery Association waited upon the directors of the Board of Trade yesterday afternoon asking that action be taken looking to the erection of a monument in Rosehill Cemetery to mark the resting-place of those members who were killed or died in service.
The plan, as roughly outlined by its friends, is the building of a monument to cost from $8,000 to $10,000. Of the amount needed a portion has already been subscribed by members. The request of the association will probably be complied with.
