$600,000 For War Memorial Arch | In Central Park Is Favored by Board of Estimate Committee Includes Recreation Grounds on Reservoir Site-—- Whole Board Will Pass on It At To-morrow’s Meeting. ! By Sophie Irene Loeb. ‘The Ccmmittes of the Whole of the Board of Estimate yesterday after- hoon pusied a resolution appropriating $600,000 for the purpose of erecting @ memorial urch ov the aberdoned resevoir in Central Park to commemorate the heroes of the World War, This sum also includes the estimate to prepare the ground for recrea- tional purposes, wrich have beec fully set forth in these columns, and more complete plans for these recreational activities must again be presented to the Board of Estimate and Apportionment before the matter can be finally settled ‘The committee was unonimously in favor of using this resevoir site for use as a memorial arch and for rec- # -~——— — Feational purposes, the details of the latter, however, being subject to a later review by the board. In answer to the suggestion that the matter be Uelayed, Borough Presi- @ent Maurice Connolly remarked: “If we delay this thing much longer there will be another war on before &@ memorial of this war ts put up,” and Commissioner Grover Whalen, in the absence of Rodman Wanamaker, Chairman of the Mayor's Memorial Committee, strongly urged that action be taken by the committee in order that the work might be done in time for the celebration of the twenty- fifth anniversary of the Greater New York Charter, next January. Commissioner Whalen also presented an exhaustive report by Sec! Haag of the Board of Esti the city engineers. This views all the plans and suggestions that have been presented to the city to date for the use of the reservoir, and the final conclusion in the repor is to utilize the reservoir for purposes mentioned, with the following recom- mendations: (1) That the general purpose of the utilization of the reservoir and adjoining park area as a site for the memorial be approved. (2) That tn order to harmonize the various projects submitted a public hearing be held on the de- tails of the plans proposed by the Mayor's Committee, as well as the other plans discussed in this re- Port. (3) That an appropriation of $600,000 in tax notes be granted, such sum to be used (together with the total of $200,000 on hand in popular subscriptions) for the preparation of the ground and the construction of a permanent Mem- orial Arch and surroundings. The proposal submitted to the Com- mittee of the Whole by the Memorial Committee is as follows: “It is proposed that there shall be at the southern end of the reservoir an approach from east to west forming an avenue between the Metropolitan Museum and the Mu- seum of Natural History; that a per- manent Memorial Arch shall be con- structed at the north end of the reservoir site, this arch to be the central feature of the composition and that between the inter-museum avenue and the arch would be an approach or vista 2,000 feet long, and in this approach there might be built a narrow lagoon of water sim!- lar to the one In the front of the Lincoln Memorial recently dedicated in Washington. It Is further sug gested that the part which remains of the reservoir might be treated so that a swimming pool of large pro- portions could be established, with bathing pavilions under the terraces on the sides of the pool. The plan further provides for playgrounds and wading pool for children, “At the extreme southern end of the reservoir area a large amphi- theatre has been planned for pageant exhibitions and on either side of the arch, it 1s proposed to erect pylons, each one to be dedicated to a New York Regiment that participated in the late war. Upon those pylons, the names of those members whose lives were sacrificed in the late war are to be inscribed. To proceed with the work so that It may be sufficiently advanced for the exercises proposed for the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the estab- lishment of the Greater City of New York in May 1923, it is requested that an appropriation of $600,000 be made.” The proposition will come up again to-morrow before the full Board of Estimate ortionment.
