executive committee. In describing the
plan. said preliminary drawings had
been submitted In January, 1921. which
were approved at that time. They call
for the building Of n promenade In the

"The general plan, prepared Jointly
by Dom Barber and Thomas Hastings,
architects, and Charles Downing Lay,
landscape architect, contemplates the
lowering OF the southern embankment
Of the old rectangular Croton Reservoir
in Central Park. in the latitude OF
seventy-ninth Street. TO near the level

At the ends OF the promenade near
the southeastern and southwestern
corners OF ANf ARAHHe eN'
flights OF steps will connect the prom
enade with paths leading TO the east
and west drives. thus forming a much
needed avenue OF communication across
the park and between the Metropolis
tan Museum OF Art and the American
Museum OF Natural History. In front
Of the ramps az the eastern end the
plan shows a fountain basin. Al the
western end. on Vista Rock, IL Is pro-
posed 20 erect the memorial proper

setting: although IL is practicable. II
deemed desirable in the final arrange
ment OF details, to place II at the east
ern end.
The architectural features, the prom
enade, the ramps, the steps and th'
fountain basin will be extremely sim
ple and harmonious with park sur
roundings. The plan does not inter
fere with the Belvedere or with an,
future treatment OF the rest OF th'
reservoir that may be planned; bu
will provide a lovely tree-lined prom
ennde By the waterside Of great con
venience TO the public, a material en-
