Article 42 taken up. (Roll of Honor.)
Judge James P. Parmenter for the Planning Board made the following report:
To the Town of Arlington:
At the Town Meeting held December 18, 1918, this com- mittec was appointed to consider and report to the Town on a Roll of Honor for the Arlington men in the service of the
36
ARLINGTON TOWN REPORT
United States. We have carefully considered the subject and report as follows:
We strongly recommend that such a roll be established. Nearly one thousand men from this Town were engaged in the military and naval service of the United States during the war, and it is a duty that we owe to them and to ourselves that their names be inscribed in a place of honor, that their example may speak to us and to those who shall come after us. So far as we are informed, there is no difference of opinion on this point; the question is,- how the purpose may best be carried out.
First of all it is important that such a roll be accurate. This is not an easy matter. Men enlisted at various times and places, some as volunteers and some under the Selective Service Act, and it will require time and care to assemble the names to the end that none shall be included or omitted improperly. The assistance of all citizens having any knowledge of the subject must be invoked. We recommend that a temporary and pro- visional list be printed, and so far as possible brought to the attention of our people, so that needed corrections and addi- tions may be made. This may be done at the same time that preparations for the permanent roll are going on.
A Roll of Honor, as the words imply, differs from a soldiers' monument. The names are the essential feature, and every- thing else is subordinate. But a mere list of names is not enough. They should be in a form artistic in itself and in har- mony with its surroundings. Furthermore, a Roll of Honor should be constructed of a durable material - stone or bronze, not of any substance which will decay or grow shabby in a short time. It is designed to teach a permanent lesson of patriotism and should be made as enduring as anything can be.
Our fellow-townsman, Mr. Cyrus Dallin, has prepared a plan for such a Roll of Honor that admirably meets these con- ditions, and this we now submit to the Town, with the recom- mendation that it be adopted.
The Roll of Honor consists of a central tablet, bearing a symbolical group respresenting the Town of Arlington honor- ing her sons who took part in the great war. On either side are bronze tablets bearing the names of all the Arlington men that participated in the war. These tablets are enclosed by a
1
37
TOWN RECORDS
framework of stone, suitably decorated, mounted upon a flight of three steps. The Roll of Honor is to be placed on the east side of the Town Hall, as a pendant to the flagpole on the west side.
We considered carefully the place where the Roll of Honor should be erected. We had no doubt that it ought to be here in our civic center, but whether in the Town Hall or outside required study. The only place inside the building that seemed in any way suitable was upon one of the walls of the vestibule, but the space available is so limited that either the names would have to be made too small to be easily read, or more than one section of wall would have to be used, destroying all unity of effect. The position of the heating apparatus, too, would have to be changed at considerable expense. So our conclusion was that it would be far better to place the Roll of Honor in the open, with ample space, in full sight of all.
We recommend that the expense be met by public subscrip- tion rather than by appropriation by the Town. The cost is estimated to be from $12,000 to $15,000. There are good ar- guments for either method. On the one hand it may be said that this is a mark of honor to the men of the Town, and that the Town itself, the whole community, should pay for it. On the other hand it is equally true, that there is so much about it that is personal and individual that there is scarcely anybody who will not see on the roll the name of a relative, a friend or a neighbor, and many will be glad of the opportunity to have a hand in the work. Considering, however, the many neces- sary demands upon the Town at this time it seems to us that it should be relieved of this expense and that there should be a genuinely popular subscription. Our people have met far greater demands during the war and will surely not be wanting in this expression of gratitude and appreciation to our young men who have served their country wherever she needed them, and to the memory of those among them who gave up their lives in that service.
HENRY W. HAYES, CYRUS E. DALLIN, JAMES P. PARMENTER, HARRY G. PORTER, ROBERT W. POND, Committee.
