Van Buren Magonigle, tor, has writien 1o the o {ranging for the erection of & - irial ta New Britaln servicemen whe lost their lives In the war, expressing preference for & site at the tep of | Walnut Hill park n the wading pool. The information was given out by the committes in conneetion with @& review of its activities The com. niittee has held ht mestings and is cautiously in the selection of a design and site, conferring with many experts, . The letter from Mr, Magonigie fol. lows: “Mr, George H. Dysen, ehalrman, "‘Now Britain War Memorial Com, ]-u % that have been suggested from {time to time for the proposed mero- Al to those sons of New Rritain who gave their lives in the World War, 1 bég to report as follows: "1, Hité on flank of hill in Walnut Hill park, facing West Main street, “This site is quite unsuitable, for it lacks a proper approach and faces a Street on which a car line and even the present trafflo would make a pause for the examination of the me- morial impracticable and even Aan- gerous. Trolley poles and wirea' and A number of large tre: too fine to sacrifice, obscure the view from the street, “(2) Site of the temporary memo- rial arch, ‘“This site In my opinion offers practically insuperable obstacles to & successful treatment for a permanent memorial. The terrain slopes in two directions—with the roadway and with the side hill—in such a manner that an exceedingly heavy expense would be involved In preparing the location’ for a site. At present it can hardly be called a site. “A memorial at that point, especial- ly if it took the form of an arch, would obscure the view of the very beautiful sweeping driveway and, ow- ing to the width of the roadway, the height of an arch that would span it, to be of good proportion, would have to be immensely high; and an arch of such size would require enormous abutments, The cost of such an arch would probably be more than New Britain would be prepared to spend. ‘(3) Site in Walnut Hill Park where refreshment pavillon now stands. “The conditions here are almost equally difficult, The ground slopes quite heavily but could be treated so as to create a level area for the memorial. But the approach on foot' to any memorial is as important as that by vehicle and the intersection of several curving driveways at strong grades at this point makes the ap- proach on foot wery perilous.. “A memorial here would also ob- struct the very beautiful view across the open park to the distant hills be- yond, a view which the main road was planned to develop and which it would be a pity to destroy. “(4) Site at top of Walnut Hill to the north of wading pool. “Here, emphatically, is the best site in New Brftain, It is so magnificent that I hesitate to give full rein to my enthusiasm. A memorial ‘of the proper character would be seen for miles around. The view from this hill s one of the most beautiful in the eastérn states and a memorinl placed here would attract visitors to the hill-top who might not otherwise come. As a site, it has the advantage of ‘many possibilities of splendid artis- tic treatment. The fact that the hill- top is already well laid out is of great value and the pool and its setting would form a beautiful foreground. The setting so indispensable to any memorial is thus more than half ac- complished. The memorial may be so placed as to be somewhat rétired from the activities of the wading pool, but near enough to be an unconscious lesson of patriotism for the children who play there dally, For these and many other reasons that might be cited, T therafore recommend In the strongest possible terms that this be adopted as the site of the New Britain War Memorial. “Respectfully submitted, “(8igned) “H.
