of a civil war monument langulahed,
nnd In 1887 tho project waa revived by
tho choice of tho southeast aectlon of
tho square, which necessitated tho re
moval of Commodore Perry's monu
,, ment Tho men of tho O A, It, and
the county commUsloncra who had
control of tho public parka couldn't
aerco on tho site or upon tho designs
for thojnonument nnd lta erection, Tho
S -- - couUEversy was taken Into tho courts,
and tho various decisions sometimes

by tho O A II In tho spring of 1891
tho monument commission took pos
session of tho site, and then began a
Sear's fight, sometimes hand to hand,
In which the pollco several tlmea took

covered suddenly that Perry's statue
had been neglected shamefully for 30
years, and tho opponent!, of the slto

outcry aver tho coming removal of tho
Perry monument, and Cleveland awoke

New York rase, that It would cut off
his light and air, nnd ho was defeated
speedily, and In tho spring of 1893
work was resumed and carried nn so
expeditiously that on July t 1891, tho
monument was dedicated The legal
fight had cost tho city 810 000.
