Since that time a new generation is on the scene to admire the fruits of the previous 82 years of agltation and sald new generation Is inclined to assist in the agitation for another memorlal to commemorate herolc deeds of citizens in the two wars since the days of '61-'65. The present monument is so con- spleuously attractive, fits in with fts sylvan surroundings so ex- quisitely, that it is casily remember- ed by all visitors to the city. Tt has become the city's most downtown landmark, The more people are constantly brought face to face with a monu- ment the greater its influence upon thelr this reason it perhaps that the Central Park site was chosen rather than a site in Walnut Hill park.
