THINKS IT WRONG TO
RUSH MACMONNIES
EX-PrPsidcnt Smith of Park
Board Objects to Lash
to sculptor.

Commenting on the ultimatum of Park
Commissioner Cabot Ward to Frederick
MacMonnies. the American sculptor in
Paris. concerning the delay In delivering
to the city the Angelina Crane statue
and fountain under his contract OF five
years ago, Henry Smith. President of the
Park Board when the award was made,
said yesterday;
Il can't understand why there should
be all this hullabaioo. Mr. MacMonnies
got the contract because he WAS consid-
cred the best American sculptor. Every
thing was done in the most orderly way.
II was known at the time that he had
other work that would delay him, but
We wanted the best.
at Il, a mistaken idea that New York
Is losing $500 year in paying AN in
surance premium ON the life OF Mae Mon
ui.s. as the premiums Will eventually
come out of the amount the sculptor will
$4,000.
MAC onuies is very anxious to give
the city his very best. When you employ
sculptor 1t is not like hiring carpenter.
You must give him time and let him
have his own way about working out
his ideas IL will be recalled thai when
Mr.. MacMonnics began his sketches and
studies for the fountain he was held UP
by the proposition to put statue of
jefferson on the proposed site for the
fountain. Then there were other delays
for which he was not TO blame
In recent letter to former Park Com
missioner Smith Mr. MaoMonuies wrote
that he had finished all the preparatory
work. worth much more than the So
oOo he had received from the city as mis-
first payment under the contract. and eN-
planned that he had not tried to hurry
the work as b" did not know that any
one was I'm a hurry for II
by allowing me enough time" Mr.
MacMonnies wrote, the city, of course
loses the interest on the first payment
of $4,000. But | am also losing on the
life insurance policy held by the city as
guarantee the sum OF $500 for the pryi-
ege of making good piece of sculpture
for one OF the most important sites in New
York
81 could have delivered "A fountain
within six months after signing the con
tract, and can still do SO ut any time. but
! believe the people of New York are toe
sensible and intelligent not to allow me
to do my best. even II IL Is against my
own interest TO the extent of the afore-
said $500 year"
Mr.. MacMonnies said that the longer
the time spent upon work Of sculptur.
the greater the chances that it will be
good.
