put them In such a position that they
must vigorously defend the driveway
construction.
The protest to the Mayor was signed
by Messrs. St Gaudens, Chase and Stan
ford White, men who stand at the head
OF their respective professions. These
gentlemen protest In no uncertain terms
against the continuance OF work on the
driveway unless competent landscape
artist ~ put In charge.
Commissioner Bell had another con-
ference with the Mayor this morning
Later he said: THE Park Board will
defend its course and will reply to the
Mayors letter In day or two. | In

that the whole trouble is being TO-
mented by a gentleman who once sat in
the Board and was conspicuous chiefly

The Mayor said that he could not
very well make any comment in the
matter. He intimated, however that he
would be pleased to have the CON
troversy come to an end.
