The proposed amendment reads as
follows:
The Quay Monument.
The board of public grounds and
buildings at Harrisburg has declined
to take action in the matter of the
Quay statue, and by resolution adopted
at its recent meeting referred the sub-
ject to and shifted respons:bility upon
the Quay monument commission. This
was neither courageous nor consistent.
The act of assembly provides that the
board of public grounds and buildings
and the statue commission shall se-
lect the site on the capitol grounds for
the monument. As there is not and
never has been a monument commis-
gion, the board of public grounds and
buildings has simply dodged its own
obligations by referring them to a
