THEY THINK THE BREATHING SPACE SHOULD NOT
RE CuRTAILED-TIIE HISTORIC HALL
BETTER FITTED FOR MUSEUM
THAN FOR A LIBRARY.
The proposed changes in City Hall Park. which
contemplate the removal of the old. historic City
Hall 10 Bryant Park there to be remodelled for
library purposes. have been much discussed. and
with a view to ascertan!ng the opinion of practical
men as to the feasibility of some of the schemes.
The Tribune has asked some architects OF ac-
snowledged standing their opinions TO the desra-
bility of putting more buildings in City Hall Park;
the relative value of open space and high buildings
in that part of the city; the effect upon values
which contraction extension OF the park would
have, and whether the City Hall is suitable for
library purposes. and If 1t would not be cheaper to
build a good library than to take down the old
building and re-erect 1t.
KEEP THE PARK FREE.
George r. Post, No. 80 East Seventeenth-st.. said:
Il think IL very undesirable that any more build
,ngs should be erected in the City Hall Park. If
the city and county of NewYork can afford to
spend nine or ten millions for a City Hail. they
can certainly afford to buy proper site, without
destroying the only breathing space in the lower
part of the city. where the mass of tall buildings
erected.
Il see reason why the present City Hall should
not be altered for library purposes, but do not be-
lieve that any great economy would result from
taking it down and rebuilding 1t for this purpose.
The only advantage of the proposed scheme for the
city Hall is that 1t would hide the County Court
House Building"
Richard NJ. Hunt was seen at his Office No. l
Madison-ave.. and said: mo more buildings should
be put In City Hall Park; the open space there is
Of much greater value than any building could be.
