A clay model for the edifice was displayed last night at o an open meeting of the park board, and inspired the formation of a joint committee to* campaign for the improvement. The joint committee, suggested by Edgar M. Sanborn, president of the park board, will be comprised of library and park board members, also a delegation of prominent clubwomen. The body will hold its first meeting next week to consider details of financing the project. /The miniature model, presented by Charles W. McCall, park board architect, aroused the enthusiasm of the park commissioners. The plan is tentative and similar in form to the Legion of Honor palace in San Francisco. Its proposed 1o- cation is at Adam's Point, in Lakeside park, the horseshoe form following the contour of the chore and casting its reflection in Lake Merritt. SERIES OF COLLONADES. The structure is a series of collonades, 1000 feet long, the ends 600. feet apart. With the semienclosure the architect plans a reflecting pool and sunken garden to emphasize the beauty of the architecture. Present plans are four units three to house the museum treasures already owned or controlled by the city of Oakland; the other to be the nucleus of a choice art gallery. 'George B. Furniss, who attended the meeting, urged the addition of a conservatory for music. This plan may develop with the addition of a theater in center of the proposed million-dollar building. Samuel B. Hubbard, former library board member, and an art gallery enthusiast, addressed the commissioners, and said that group of four women club leaders recently surveyed the Adam's Point site and told him they were eager to aid the development of a cultural center there. The clubwomen were: Miss Annie Florence Brown, secretary of the Oakland Forum; Mrs. Thomas Mitchell Potter, active in civic affairs; Mrs. F. G. Athearn, president of the Alameda County Federation. of Women's Clubs; Mrs. H. A. Kleugel, president of the San Francisco branch, American Association of University Women. WOMEN TO AID PLAN. "Women are going to have a great influence in putting this over," Hubbard told the com missioners. Several donations. already have been offered to create the art gallery section. "The various units probably will be filled in like a university memorial,* /said Sanborn, in declaring that the whole cost should be borne by private donors. Park Commissioners Charles A. Anderson and W. R. King will act as a committee of the whole with Sanborn the joint committee, and expressed themselves enthusiastically in favor of the park improvement. *The day of keep off the grass signs' In public parks has passed," said King. "Now the people are urged to roll in it."
