2 MAYOR'S PLANS FOR MEMORIAL Will Be Erected For Firemen Who Fell in Recent War The Flremens' Memorial, for all those volunteer firemen of the Ameri can Expeditionary Forces who fell in the great war, will be erected some time within the next two years ac cording to Mayor Keister. The general plan of raising the funds for the memorial is this: Each fire company of the city will volun tarily contribute SIOO to the memor ial; this with the hundred that the Veteran Volunteer Fireman's Asso ciation will give will make SISOO with whlcn to begin the amount needed. As there are over 2800 fire men in Harrisburg, a total of $4300 will be raised at the start, and with this as a basis the committee plans different entertainments at one time and another durnig the winter In or der to raise the entire amount neces sary for the memorial. Mayor Keister feels that a monu ment or shaft of bronze will be the most fitting and permanent sort of memorial to leave to the memory of the firemen who died In the war. Anything in the nature of a memor ial building he claims would be trans ient and would not outlast the years; a bronze monument will be an ever present reminder.
