WELLINGTON WAR MEMORIAL
CHOSEN SITE RETAINED. NEAR PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS. (By Telegraph—Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, tliis day. The matter of the Citizens' War Memorial site was brought prominently before the Wellington public again recently by the proposal of Mr. Hurst Seager, architect, that it should be erected at the Basin Reserve, facing down the splendid boulevard provided by Kent and Cambridge Terraces, which were recently reconstructed. The proposal has been freely ventilated in the Press, and the executive committee yesterday went fully into it, and were almost unanimous in rejecting the Basin Reserve site in favour of that adjacent to Parliament Buildings, which was granted by the Government for the memorial. It was reported at the meeting that tenders would be called at tha end of this month and that arrangements were now being completed for laying the foundation-stone on Anzac Day.
