"This site would naturally have entrances which make easy access from the south nnd west portions of the city, from West Philadelphia, and from North Philadelphia; and the Park being a seuicc of rightful pride and interest te nil of the people of the city, its acceptance as the site should result In all sections of the city joining in the enterprise with equal enthusiasm and civic pride. With regard te housing nnd cnrlng for visitors, the site has been ranked first, and it is acceptable from the standpoint of transportation, water supply, sewage disposal, comfort, health, etc. "Destruction of felinge, interrupted public use of the Pnrk. nnd interfer ence with the regular nvenues of city travel have been neintcd te. and they with ether disadvantages which have been suggested, have been given careful consideration by the ceniiniyce. Determine Boundaries Later "The specification given in the reso lution, quoted earlier, concerning ter ritory within the limitations of which the exposition may be placed, is made bread, as the specific boundaries of the fair must be determined when the architectural und lahdscnpc plans are prepared, and theso responsible there for should, of course, h'nve ' ns large leeway ns possible. "Further, the exposition engineers nnd architects should be in a position te avoid plufiiig excessive expense upon the fnlr prejec in the form of sewer age development, covering nnd electri fying ruilrends, condemnation of val uable property, etc. "However, there nre improvements nleng the Schuylkill, contiguous te the territory, proposed, involving the con demnation of land nnd improved sew ernge disposal, which, when accem plished, uiisht be of grent advantage te both the city and the exposition. Their .prompt undertaking bj the city Is sub mitted for the consideration of the mu nicipal authorities. "Although request was made for rec ommendations concerning sites, the consideration of this problem hns of ne cessity invehed n study of the proB preB nble fentures and gencrnl scope of the exposition. The results of this study ure te be found among the appendices, but the following suggestions are sub mitted here for consideration in connec tion with the site lcceinmciideil by the committee te be most desirable. Twe Outstanding Features "Thus, theie nre two elements of na tional and International activity, of much importance, which ure net from the architectural or physical standpoints readily adapted te the central group of an International exposition, but which, It is believed, should be developed ns co-erdlnnte exhibits. These are, an ex hibit dealing with the practice and problems of murine trnnkiinri.iil.in .,,! activities, nnd nuether for showing ng- V. processes mm methods. It is suggested by the committee that nn exhibit Including possibly full sized beats equipped for various types et murine service, und ether large marine exhibits, may be located te nd nd viintnge nt or near the Philadelphia Navy an nt League Islund. It is probable the United States Govern Gevern iiiciit. or the United Stntes Shipping Beard, would undertake le carry through a .project of this kind. Un doubtedly a great proportion of our American visitors attending the fnlr would welcome the opportunity te visit such It disemy, n.. ..ll ,.., i, v Urtl. where n nuynl exhibit nlse could be included.
