 The three type memorials were 6 public auditorium which would com- prise halls for concerts, lectures and meeting rooms and office quarters for veterans organizations: play grounds, which would be the means Of playtime areas not now provided for by local parks, and a music shell for outdoor concerts.
 Theodore Smith chief en- gineer of the city planning commis- sion cited the fact that there are numerous sites of available land in such areas as East Mountain, Bunk e.
