and a recreation pier. This prize will enable Mr. Green to spend six months in Europe. Second prize of honorable mention was given to Walter Parker and third to Joseph W. Wilson. There were ten competitors and the competition was open to Club members only.
RHODE ISLAND CHAPTER, A. I. A.
The Rhode Island Chapter of the American Institute of Architects on March 28 took an unequivocal stand in opposition to the demolition of the old “market-house, ” known as the Board of Trade building. The interesting statement was made that this building was the first in the country ever dedicated by a Masonic body.
The Metropolitan Park system was helped when the Chapter adopted resolutions strongly endorsing the plans of the Park Commission and the bills proposed in its report to the Assembly.
The resolutions, which were offered by ex-Mayor A. H. Humes of Central Falls, were as follows:
Whereas, it is the belief of the Rhode
Island Chapter of the American Institute of Architects that some such system of reservations and public grounds as the one recommended by the Metropolitan Park Commission is inevitable and must sooner or later be provided to ensure the prosperity and comfort of the people of Providence and its environs and the proper development of the metropolitan district; that nothing can be gained by further delay, but, on the contrary, the cost will be greatly increased and valuable opportunities will be lost; and that it is eminently proper that the question of a bond issue to begin the work be submitted to the people at the next election;
“Resolved, That this Chapter hereby petition the honorable General Assembly to give approval to the bills proposed in the recent report of the Commission, and that a copy of this resolution be presented to the General Assembly. ”
The new public gardens in the rear of the Union Station then came up for discussion, and it was voted that President Clarke and Messrs. Stone and Ely be requested to confer with the Park Commis
