SOLDIERS AND SAILORS' MONUMENT. 15
Next day, June 28th, the board of directors examined the various designs, plans, and estimates, together with their relative merits, which were fully and fairly discussed. Coming together in the afternoon of that day, it was determined to make the choice by ballot, when it was found that the design submitted by Randolph Rogers, the eminent American sculptor, for some years a resident of Ann Arbor, had a decided preference.
Mr. Rogers presented in detail his estimate for the work, specifying the cost of each part separately, when, after lengthy consultation and full expression of views, the board considered favorably the estimate, and he was awarded the contract.
