Gutzon Borglum. the sculptor. for an
order restraining the Board of Water
supply from erecting or maintaining a
permanent structure as a pumping sta
ton for the aqueduct system in Morning
side Park near 121st street until proper
approval has been obtained"
Borglum declared In his petition that
the structure In question. which the
Water Supply officials said was to lie
only temporary, had all the appearance
OF being permanent, although the neces-
sary permission OF the Municipal Art
Commission and the Park COMMISSIONS
had not been obtained. The Water
Board insisted that the structure wss
