scheme of decoration for the City Hall 
courtyard and the pavements surround¬ 
ing the building. 
They appointed Mr. John F. Lewis, 
President of the Pennsylvania Academy 
of the Fine Arts, Mr. David Knicker- 
backer Boyd, President of the Philadel¬ 
phia Chapter, American Institute of 
Architects, and Mr. Milton B. Medary, 
Jr., President of the T Square Club, 
to act as a Committee and Jury of 
Award. The Commission associated 
Professor Paul P. Cret of the University 
of Pennsylvania, to assist them in carry¬ 
ing out the work. 
The competition was open to any one. 
The prize consisted of One Hundred 
Doll ars, in addition to which there were 
four honorable mentions. 
The object of the competition was 
to obtain a comprehensive scheme of 
decoration for the courtyard and pave¬ 
ments surrounding the City Hall, Phila¬ 
delphia. The scheme should be one 
which could he carried out either at once 
or by degrees, hut without losing the 
necessary unity of design. The advan¬ 
tages of such a plan at this time are 
apparent from the fact that the statue 
scheme already begun on the north 
pavement and the lamps on the south 
pavement must conflict if either is carried 
all the way around the curb line. Al¬ 
though possibly some portion of the 
winning scheme might he taken advan¬ 
tage of by the city, and utilized for 
a temporary decoration during the 
Founder’s Week Celebration next 
autumn, it must be borne in mind that 
this decoration if used would he even¬ 
tually of a permanent character and 
that it must therefore he; First, designed 
for durable materials; Second, so as 
not to interfere with the circulation, and 
Third, to keep the dignified aspect that 
is appropriate to a civic center. 
The choice of motives was left to the 
designer, who was allowed to use any or 
all of the following features: Lamp- 
posts, balustrades, pavements, statues, 
fountains, masts, benches, boxes or tubs 
for small trees or plants, or any decorative 
motive that the designer might wish.
