AIDS IN MEMORIAL PROJECTS
Idaho Law Provides for Recognition of Those Who Gave Lives In World Conflict.
State aid in memorial construction projects is provided by Idaho, by the terms of a law recently enacted by the legislature of that state. Under the law a memorial commission is authorized in each county, to be composed of the commander of the American Legion post, heads of other "established and recognized" war veterans' organizations and the county commissioners.
Each county commission is empowered to decide on a memorial to honor the World war dead. When the county appropriates $1,000 and acquires a site for a memorial, the state will provide an equal sum.
County recorders are directed to record all discharge certificates of World war service men on application, and to make certified copies of the record when requested. A fee of 25 cents is authorized for making the record or furnishing a certified copy.
