The ladles cOmposing the Monumental

remembered that the drat-idea of the
Soldiers' Monument « was conceived by
as association of a' Jl4iers, who failed to
secure a hearty '.nd generous co-opera
tion from the charitable and patriotic.
.Tb;y -appokn',ed a number - of their
fell w mem'Jers, whose Personal maims

ential object they bad in view, to • secure
the adeqtate sum necessary for the erec.
tion of the shaft intended to honor the
brave and loyal dead. These gallant men
labored zealously to collect money to carry
out the object of their appointment. They
'Med, notwithstanding the fact that the
imagers of the Allegheny Cemetery
had freety, and with a (*amendable
spirit of generosity, donated an' eligible
and beanitiftl site in the Cemetery for the
erection of the monument; more than
that, had generously offered to supply the
foundaticin for any design tbatmight have
been 'furnished. The soldiers, chagrined
and disoppointed, cast about for help
and 'assistance, having next their hearts
the commemoration and honor of their
fallen companions. With the paltry sum
of fifteen hundred dollars they were left,
to erect a monument that iihould worthil
-commemorate the thousands of Irdlem
'braves who met their death and quiet :1y
sleep under the flag. They, found succpr,
help, countenance and material assistrmoe
in the ladies now maligned by some mem
bers of the press arid abuscil generally by
those citizens who do not admire the se
lection of the Cemetery as a site for the
-Monument. -We have taken p, , ronnds
against that location, but in 80 doing
could not lose sight of the respect, due the
ladies to whose effortsprincipalky is ito be
credited the accumulation of the large
sum of money now in the treaserry for the
monument. Had it not been. foe their
well directed labors Allegheny -boun
ty would not be engaged in the discussion
of sites for the Soldiers' Monument,
but s in. the Cemetery there would - have
stood, perchance, an humble and mean
piece of marble "to commemorate the pat

projectors of the praiseworthy enterprise

We do not desire that a sectional or
jealous spirit between the tiro parts of
our one community of Pittsburgh and
Allegheny should ` be engendered out of
this qttestioit, to preiuditie- 'Wei claims of
anykcality for the locitiloti. l itp could

of our citizens, and that inasmuch as from
the inception, of the mjeet to 'the vac=
cessfa close,of the Fair it was conceded
that the movement was - for a monument

little discrimination in the matter if
they esired to live ttp to the obligations
assumed when they accepted 'the money
from the original movers in the matter,
They, state they are willing 'to recede
from their action, which they claim was
not informal in its character as has been
charged, and eevtainly . not questionable,
provided some suitable site is suggested,
whle.h will meet with their favor, and

Mr. M oAnly presented-the- following s : .
To the Pittsburgh Councils:
Gusrimuss---After waiting two years
in hopes that our Councils would offer ue
a suitable site for our Soldiers' Monu
ment, and none being offered, we de
termined to decide the matter as soon as
we, would receive our charter., -Accord
ingly a meeting of the Association was
called for Tune 19th,—not; an informal
meeting, as some have choosed to call it—
but officially called through the , press
three days before. At- this meeting
eight of
,the ladles voted for the cem-
etery, there being eleven present, con
firming our vote taken twice before, with
the same result.
As it was a Pittsburgh enterprise, got
ten up and carried on so far by Pitts
burgh ladies, we do not now feel like re
voking our action, and making Alle
gheny a present of our hard-earned
money to decorate their Commons. It
was acknowledged by a prominent official
of Allegheny, a few days ago, that they
had understood before the Fair that the
monument was to be erected in the Came
terY, er they , would have helped us.
-Now, we appeal to you, gentlemen, for
a suitable site for the monument in Pitts
burgh, or if you have none, that you pur.
chase us one, and by this means relieve
us from further persecution. Feeling
sure that our City Fathers will sustain
tbeir reputation for gallantry and libel..
silty, we leave the matter with you for
the prisent, hoping to hear from you
soon. Yours respectfully,

!-Committee would recommend an in
crease of the rents in several instances.
On the Monongahela wharf, there is a
similar laxity on the part .of those at
! tending to the collection of the finance
lof the ci t y. A paltry sum only is paid
I for the occupation of valuable ground.
Tho Wharfmaster doesn't pay at
tention to the city ordinace in
regard to the loading of merchan
' dise, and fails to collect wharfage where.
be should. If the law were enforced,arin
if the wharf were, rented, particularly
-1 the Allegheny wharf. at one half the.
price of private prOperty. a great many
hundred donate would find their way
into the City Treasury which now do not
get there. The Allegheny Wbarfmaater
employs two' men whose business ap•
pears to be to sleep
. and Smoke lathe.
Wharfmaster's office. • Since the Reform
and Retrenchment Committee was ap
pointed, many reforms have been effect
ed on the wharves. The present Wharf
Committee appears to be more effective
than that of last year. ' . -
The Committee would recommend the
abolishment of the office of the. Clerk of
Markets, believing that the Superintend
ent will be sole to attend to the duties of
that office as well as to those of his own.
Tho Committee states some of the butch
ers use more gas (which the city pays
for) than the amount of the rent for their
stalls. The _Committee would ' recom
mend the Market Committee to alter the
gat' fixtures.
The_ Committee find that Horace IS,
Snowden has collected for railroad
switches six hundred dollara which
he has forgotten to pay into the
City Treasury, and recommend that
the City Solicitor be instructed to collect
1 the amount from the parties responsible.
' The Committee found that Knapp,
Mudd & Cp., Park Bro. & Co.,
~Keystone Bridge CoMpany, Kier, Foster
it Kier, H. i Armstrong & Laughlin '
& Co. :4
are now usin- switches withont ,
l
paying for them, and recommend tile'
collection of the amounts owed, and in
case of refusal that the Street Commit
tee be instructed to take up the switches.
and collect cost of same from the partlei
named.
Your Committee intended to report
upon various other matters connected
