256 REPORT ON MEMORli\;L TABLETS,.

There was much difficulty in deciding where to put. "J,

. ta.blets. The Committee were limited to the Town Hall, bd,

found the wall-space so broken up by do~rs and windows; ~
to leave only two places .large enough for suitable table~ .
"',
"unless they were to be divided into tw:o or more portioIi\.
which was thought undesirable. The most prom~nent. plft;~
was the wall back of the stage in the main hall, but as~
tablets whichcould.be prooured for the money.appropriatE.
.would look lost in so larg~a space, and would not berea",.,
ble from the floor, it -was decided to' plll.ce them in 'w~'
.finally appeared to·. be the only available. position, on'~
.landing Of the.main stairway; under the large ft'ont w~ndo~
A sub-committee, co~sisting of Messrs. Cabot and Ri~

after carefully examining different. materials and plans f4!

tablets, !lelected slabs' of reddish Tennessee' marble 'oli}

'background ,of black marble, in the form shown by ~."
