UPHOLD LAY, PARSONS SAYS
Former Landscape Architect
Criticises Park Commissioner.

Samuel Parsons jr., former Landscape
architect of the Park Board. said yester-
day that all persons In this city interested
in the preservation of Central Park should
back up the present landscape architect
Charles d. Lay Mr.. Parsonss statement
followed the action of Park Commissioner
Slower in holding up for many days the
recent report of Mr. Lay. because that Off
CIal had requested the Park Board to sub
nit TO him first all plans and specifications
before presenting them to the Municipal
Art Commission.
Commissioner Stover took affront at that
suggestion" said Mr. Parsons, although
none of the other commissioners did. His
reason for being affronted was that it hit
him personally. Park Commissioner Stover
invariably consulted the Municipal Art
Commission before he ever came near me
when l was landscape architect, but none
of the other commissioners did.
Furthermore he had no business with
holding Mr. Lays report. In former ad-
mmstrations the report of the landscape
architect was discussed in public"
Mr. Parsons characterized as ridiculous
the statement of Commissioner Stover that
the charter contained a provision that the
landscape architect should have the plans
and specifications first. and that Mr.. Lay
was therefore foolish in making such re-
quest
Mr. Parsons said he had 10 take plans
and specifications from Commissioner Sto.
vers desk, otherwise he never would nave
known what was going on.
Il opposed so many Of his ridiculous sug.
gestions that ! cannot remember them all
said the former landscape architect.
