OPPOSED TO PLAZA SITE BILL.
FINE ARTS FEDERATION WANTS SOLDIERS
AND SAILORS MONUMENT ON
RIVER FRONT

Strong opposition was developed on Wednesday
evening at Il meeting OF the Fine Arts Federation
in the Fine Arts Society Building. in West Fifty
seventh-st, to the passage OF the Senate bill amend
ing the charter OF the city OF New-York I'm such q
manner as TO compel the erection OF a soldiers and
sailors monument n the Central Park Plaza. In
the judgment of members of the Federation. tn
passage OF this bill would be injurious to the art
interests Of the city. and they say It Is contrary
to the principles o. home rule. upon which the
charter is based. and also 10 the request OF large
number Of officers and sailors OF the United States
Navy, who petitoned the Park Board to have the
monument placed or the river front where the
Navy could participate in any ceremonies The
proposed erection on the Plaza site of monument
OF this character. they declare is opposed to the
expressed opinion OF the art societies OF New-York
city as represented by the Fine Arts Federation.
prominent member OF the Fine Arts Federation
said yesterday TO a Tribune reporter: I'VE shall
make an earnest opposition TO the enactment OF
the proposed law. The Fine Arts Federation has
already put itself record as TO this question by
a mastery report OF experts, which formulated
by leading architects, scuIptors and painters. 1t
CO ndemned the Plaza site for the proposed Soldiers
and Sailors Monument. IL recommended the site
at Seventy secondst and the southern extremity Of
Riverside Drive. The old proposition having been
condemned by men who knew exactly what they
were talking about It would seem that the report
should have settled the matter finally. The Plaza
site is low one. not at all adapted for the pur-
pose, and any monument put up there would be
dominated by the massive and tall buildings about H.
Without doubt the Fine Arts Federation which
expresses the concurrent opinion OF the art SO
Cieties OF New York will adhere TO the decision of
its expert committee. That report, not alone In
condemning the proposed Plaza site. but In recon.
mendng the site at the southern extremity OF
Riverside Park, obtained the hearty approval OF
numbers Of naval officers. as In case OF any joint
celebration by the Army and Navy. the latter
share would take place at the foot OF the monu-
ment. A further fitness in this location Is that
the northern extremity OF the drive is marked by
the monument OF the great soldier Grant"
