Tls. 30,000 Still Wanted from the Public While the original estimate of cost of erection of the Shanghai War Volunteer Memorial on the Bund was about Tls. 63,000, the final estimate works out at about: Tls. 91,000. The original estimate did not include cost of the cofferdam, concrete bunding and piling to prepare the foundation which amounts to approximately Tls. 17,000, nor did it include the cost of two large bronze trophy groups on the north and south faces of the Memorial estimated to cost Tls, 11,900. It ig proposed to ask the two Councils to pay for the cost of preparing the foundations, but over and above that item a sum of about T]s 30,000 is still required to be collected to pay for the Memorial.
The total amount collected so far is about Tls. 45,000, and the Committee appeals to the public to subscribe a further Ty. 30,0000.
