At a meeting of the "Board of Managers" of the Sons of the Revolution held on October 27th, 1919, the following Committee was appointed to meet with the Committee of The New York Historical Society with regard to erecting a liberty pole in City Hall Park: J. M. Montgomery, Chairman, William W. Ladd, Philip Livingston, J. Wray Cleveland, George A. Zabriskie. On November 5th, 1919 a meeting of both Committees was held at Fraunces Tavern. Mr. Reginald Pelham Bolton was elected Chairman of the Joint Committees, Mr. Robert H. Kelby, Secretary and Col. J. Wray Cleveland, Treasurer. It was moved that the Committee seek an appointment with Mayor Hylan to lay the plan before him and to secure the consent of the Park Commissioner for the erection of the pole in City Hall Park. It was further moved that plans and estimates for.a pole and base be secured. On Saturday, November 21st the Committee in a body waited upon the Mayor by appointment to ask his co-operation. The Mayor expressed himself as in favor of the proposed memorial and his services in its aid were assured. The proposed liberty pole is to be erected without cost to the City of New York. It was also urged upon the Mayor to effect the removal of the Old Post Office building and restore the City Hall Park to its original dimensions which included the land on which the post office building now stands. The land was conveyed to the Federal Government by the City of New York in December, 1866 and the deed recorded on April 16, 1867 for a consideration of #500,000. The Mayor in reply stated that he hoped the Federal Government would accept a site in the Civic Centre of the City in exchange for the present site of the old Post Office building.
