CENTRAL pARK AND THE WoRLUS FAIR
SHALL THF STRUCTURES ERECTED FOR TIE FAIR
BE PERSANENTi-A PROPOSITION THAT MEANS


BE PERMANENr7-A PROPOSITION THAT MEANS
RUIN.
TO me Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: The Executive Committee for the
Worlds Fair commit themselves this morning 10
proposition OF which the result would unquestionaOy be
the occupation OF every available open space OF the Cen
tral Park by buildings catteyaTds and apparatus They
directly propose that the important OF these build
ngs shall be permanent OF course every building will
require system OF ample approaches not OF foOt-ways
alone, but suitable for the transportation OF
materials and matters Of exhibition. These would
mainly be permanent also. The argument OF the COM
mittee assumes that provided the proposed arrange
nens do not interfere with the public walks and drives
the park will be injured The idea that the park is
place OF relief from buildings and for the enjoyment
of expauseg of nature wholly ignored The park
sists il assumed in its drives and walks This was
the idea Of the sweeney-Iton administration IN ISL
trees being considered valuable only for shade.
The park has been acquired by the city on n theory
precisely the opposite of this and $l5OOOO 900 spent to
realize it the theory, namely, that its value
should CONSIST in natural scenery, the roads
and walks aud structures Of all kinds being
only valuable "a for enjoying the
scenery. TIE TRIBUNE has steadily sustained this
theory and do hope that If is not at once prepared TO
protest strcnuously against the proposition as now
brought forward it will at least urge that 1t should not
be adopted without grave consideration and distinct
understanding that II means the na aOauuonnenloIa al
that the park originally intended 10 supply. The
philadelphia Exhibition was laid out upon q piece OF
land mainly at not previously improved for park use,
and all roads aud walks upon 10 were de-
signed especially for the Exhibition. at the
end OF the Summer not yard OF turf was to
he found anywhere in the vicinity except 1t had been
strongly fenced The Central Park roads and walks
