Shutt and seconded by Dr. Wm. Saunders and unanimously 

 carried, "That the tribute about to be made to the memory of 

 the late Dr. Fletcher, take the form of a drinking fountain, con- 

 sisting of a granite shaft, with bronze medallion, inscription, etc., 

 to be erected at the Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and that the 

 Committee is hereby empowered to make all necessary arrange- 

 ments for carrying out the work." 



At a meeting of the Committee held on February 7th, it 

 was decided to place this work in the hands of Dr. R.Tait McKenzie, 

 of the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia. Dr. McKenzie 

 has an enviable reputation, more particularly in mural bronzes 

 and plaques, in the salons of Paris and London, and his work 

 was highly commended to the Committee. On the 10th instant 

 Dr. McKenzie came to Ottawa to meet the Committee, bringing 

 with him plans and specification^ of the proposed memorial, as 

 well as a small model in plaster. The Committee considered 

 these very carefully and suggested some cha.nges, which, if made, 

 it was thought would improve the appearan e of the m.emorial. 

 Further plans, drawings and photographs of the work will be 

 submitted to the Committee from time to time as they are ready. 

 It is hoped that the memorial will be finally completed and ready 

 for unveiling towards the latter end of Mav, or early in June.
