1t is interesting, in view of the pres
ent movement, to recall the fight that
was made several years ago by some
of the citizens of Oyster Bay for
park-a fight that resulted in failure,
but which aroused the interest of Col
onel Roosevelt, who did what he could
at that time to arouse the enthusiasm
Of his fellow townsmen over the
project.
For years the townspeople declined
rights which a few of them had in
frequently enjoyed" wrote Colonel
Roosevelt during the winter of 1918 in
describing this unsuccessful battle for
the park: "Then the selfish miscon-
duct of one or two property owners
to their beaches reused a feeling which
manifested itself in foolish and VIC
iOuS effOrt-at one time a mob effort
to destroy the docks and thereby pre-
vent the property owners of access to
their sailboats. The motive seemed
than to interfere with those of whom
they were jealous. Recourse to the
law finally settled the right Of the
property owners to their docks and
their duty to keep openings in the
docks so that the clammers and the
rare wayfarers along the beach would
not be interfered with.
"But this did not help those farm
ers or villagers who occasionally wish
ed to come to the beach for bathing
Or boating. A few public-spirited per-
sons therefore started a movement for
a park, with long stretch of beach.
on which public and private boathous-
es and bath houses could be erected.
Various well-to-do persons, none Of
whom would ever have used the park,
agreed to furnish half the money if
the town would furnish the other half.
1t was voted on at the next election.
81 rode down to the polls with a
friend, hired mana good, upright,
hard-working citizen, who lives some
miles away from the water, who owns
small property and is therefore a
small taxpayer. After voting l found
that our two votes had neutralized
each other; he voted against the park !;
and the park proposition was beaten
by the votes of the smaller taxpayers
who lived inland and from among
whom the chief beneficiaries of the
park would have come. (Tfe boldface
is Colonel Roosevelt's.) These men
had felt vaguely jealous of the richer
property owners near the water and
had sympathized with the movement to.

finally look is described thus by Mr..
Litchfield:
"On the axis Of the main approach,
standing out in firm silhouette against
the background of the bay and the dis
tant hills Of Center Island, should be
a great fagpole with a monumental
base, which will be forever reminiscent
of the colonel's intense love for the
American flag. At the end of the la
COON there should be fountain, and
beyond it long approach from the
west between thickly planted native
American shrubs and low-growing
trees; laurel wild honeysuckle, dog
wood, beech and ash forming @ dense
dark foliage in contrast to the gravel
walks, the reflection of the sky in the
lagoon and the bright deep blue of the
bay itself"
1t has also been suggested to the
Roosevelt Memorial association that
as elms are the most beautiful trees
for the park it would be an excellent
idea to call upon the farmers of Long
Island and Connecticut to donate spec
linen elm trees to the ASSOCIATION.
The site of the proposed park is Of
great natural beauty. The ensemble
effect would be somewhat similar to
the beautiful park at Versailles, where
the peace conference was held, but it
will be typically American in spirit and
conception. There will be no attempt
on the part of the architect to initiate
the Versailles scheme. The proposed
lagoon will look like a diamond set in
green jade, and, through a fringe of
elm trees the spectator will get a
glimpse of the Roosevelt forum. Over
all will wave the Stars and Stripes
that the colonel loved so we'll. In ev-
cry way the aim will be to suggest the
virile personality Of the man who was
first, last and all the time an American.
Referring to the fiagpole with monu-
mental base which forms, in way, the
center of the formal scheme, Mr. Litch-
field suggested that some day the base
might be the final resting place of the
great mans mortal part.

sums less than $1,OO0,OOO. But those

if it be distributed over the population.
School children alone could and would
give an appreciable part of it. Indeed,
since Oyster Bay stands for the Roose-
welt home life, it is peculiarly appro-
pirate that the nations children should
take special interest in such a me-
mortal, as they did in the restoration
of Washington's home at Mount YER

NNSa cans for the discussion of
grave problems affecting the
future of this country, is one of the
features of the proposed park at Oys-
ter Bay. The plans already have been
approved by the Roosevelt Memorial
association.
Electus D. Litchfeld, architect, who
designed the monument to President
Mckinley at Columbus, Ohio, and who
has executed other important COM
missions, has been engaged by the
Roosevelt Memorial committee at Oys-
ter Bay to carry out these plans for
the memorial park. Mr.. Litchfeld lives
at Oyster Bay and was a neighbor of
Colonel Roosevelt. Therefore he is ia
miliar with the park site.
Mr.. Litchfield thinks a forum such
as has been suggested for the park
would have met with the appreciation
of the colonel himself, says the New
York Sun. Members of the Roosevelt
Memorial association also feel that
such a forum could be made most use
full in our national life in carrying out
in a useful and vital way the ideals
and teachings of Theodore Roosevelt.
Mr.. LitchfieId's Vision.
"At the head of the auditorium"
says Mr.. Litchf1eld in describing his
plans for the park, "there would be a
rostrum, having it's west front built
somewhat in the form of Greek the
ater and providing a stage upon which
may be seated the performers at open
air concerts for the people. Within
it's walls I had hoped there might be
a reception room and a small hall,
somewhat in the nature of a supreme
court room in the capitol at Washing
ton, where would be gathered from
time to time once every two or three
years, or two or three times a year,
as in the opinion of the trustees of the
Roosevelt forum the occasion may re-
quire, a few Of the great men of the
country, who shall there discuss be-
fore the whole nation the grave ques-
tions that will affect conditions in this
country as a result Of the wars after
math.''
This beautiful park to the memory
Of great American will embrace
about forty acres and titles to the
veys made. When completed this park
will have an athletic field, tennis
courts, bathing beach and pavilion, the
theater, a great flagpole $50 feet high
and a beautiful promenade, arched by
elm trees in the center of which will
be lagoon.
The idea of William Loeb, Jr., chair
man Of the Roosevelt Memorial! COM
mittee at Oyster Bay, and other mem
bers of the committee, is to have a
park that will provide in the best and
most healthful way amusement facili-
ties for the country at large; a park
that will have an individuality and
atmosphere suggestive of the life and
spirit of Roosevelt. The colonel was
practical man who combined artistic
ideas with common sense execution.
and the Roosevelt Memorial associa-
tion does not want a park that would
not have met with the approval of the
colonel himself. AS matter of fact
Colonel Roosevelt himself very much
desired such a park at Oyster Bay and
publicly expressed his views on the
subject.
