Underground Washington park club for soldiers monument
A reader urges a living memorial for Adams county soldiers, proposing an underground club house on the north side of Washington park. The writer argues for a six member committee to select site and design, with McNutt as chairman, and dismisses other sites as costly or unsuitable. The plan envisions a 36 by 70 foot underground room, a granite shaft, and a rooftop area for dances and open air activities, to keep the view of the park while serving 2000 young soldiers from age 17 to 35.
