to recast tho fountain In comont and
speedy nrtlon was desired, an tho
winter rains would ruin tho plaator

Tho letter received by tho city

from which you will bo nblo to re
place tho whole in Its original posi
tion. AVo nro not nwaro of your plans In
rognrd to tho roeetting of this stat
uary, but you aro no doubt cogni
zant of tho fact that tho materials of
which this fountain nro constructed
hnvo rolatlvoly u short life. All stat
uary of tho oxposltlon is mndo from
plastor of purls, roluforcod with hemp

ably not havo n turthor lifo of any

the woathor.
Owing to tho nnturo of tho con
tract which tho oxposltlon oxocutcd

If this statunry Is accepted it must
bo dono undor a written acknowledge
ment of tho abovo conditions. Thoso
conditions havo particular roforonco
to tho work of tho sculptor, Arthur
IMitnnm, and not to tho fountnln
basin or any parts of tho architec
tural staff. Tho latter may- bo re
placed In concrete at your discre
tion.
Yours very truly,
A. H. MACKWAIIT.
Dlrootor of Works.
A second letter roeolvod states
that it Iim occurred to tho director
that Medford would probably only
want the figure at tho top of tho
fountain, in which case tho oost of
doing tho work outlined abovo would
probably amount to not more than
$100.
Arthur Putnam oatlmated last fall
.the cost of recasting tho figure In
pormnnent plaster and propartng a
suitable hasin at Medford and erod
ing the fountain at approximately
$700.
As It Is more than probablo that
the figure has been ruined fly the
climate for recasting, It seonis prob
able that U is too late now to do
anything with It. Mr Putnam has
been written for Information.

DON'T overlook this matter of
power. It is important. You
wont an automobile that will
carry you through mud, sand and
snow, and do it easily. You want a
car that will climb hills, that will get
away quickly without laboring and
straining its every part
Not all cars can do these things,
but you know that the Maxwell can
because you have the proof.
When the Maxwell stock touring
enr set the World's Motor Non-Stop
Mileage Record a few weeks ago, it
encountered all sorts of unfavorable
conditions rain, mud and hills, over
country and city roads yet it cov
ered 500 miles per day, day after
day, for more than six weeks.
Power, plenty of power, unfailing
power, is absolutely essential to such
a wonderful performance as this.
Let us give you a booklet telling
all the details of this record breaking
Maxwell car. And let us tell you
about our partial payment plan, by
means of which you can make a cash
deposit and pay the balance while
you use the car. Give us the oppor
tunity and we'll prove our case.
