The Garibaldi Monument Club which was incorporated in the month of May, held a meeting yesterday at the Grand Pacific Hotel. It is the intention of the club to erect a monument in some park in honor of Garibaldi. The cost is expected to be about $20,000 or $25,000. The donations subscribed yesterday amounted to $640.
The names of the Executive Committee show that the plan is not of an exclusively Italian origin. The elected officials are: G. Ginnochi, president; Judge D. J. Lyons, and W. R. Dyrenfurth. Forty-three names are listed, including the above mentioned, most of them being Italian.
