Offers to Build a Clock Tower

New York, 1895

The Rev. Dr. Alexander Mackay Smith, on behalf of the children of the late Mrs. Ellen Ward, has communicated to Supervisor Denton of North Hempstead an offer to erect a stone tower and clock in the centre of the park on the west side of the village of Roslyn, provided the town will grant permission and make provision for keeping the clock in running order. The offer includes a memorial tower of artistic design, surmounted by clock and chimes, at an expense of $7,000.
