Alderman Frank Fountain (Deputy Lord Mayor) presided over the meeting in the absence of the Lord Mayor (Mr T B Duncan). An early appeal will be made for funds. Yorkshire Post (YP) 13.1.20 Article ‘Leeds War Memorial The Cookridge Street Scheme An Appeal to the Public’ The Leeds War Memorial Scheme was advanced another stage at a meeting of the General Committe under the chairmanship of the Lord Mayor (Mr T B Duncan) yesterday, when resolutions were passed agreeing to recommendations of the Executive with regard to the Cookridge Street site and a public appeal for funds was decided on [...] The Alderman [C H Wilson] mentioned that if the scheme went through Alderman Penrose Green and Mr Joseph Clark would each subscribe £1,000 to the fund and that other promises had been received. As an addendum to the resolution it was also decided that the questions of the actual site of the memorial and the appointment of the architect should be referred to the Executive Committee, with full power to agree with that Committee on those points and to proceed with the erection of the memorial. [...] On the proposition of the Lord Mayor, seconded by Mr A G Lupton, it was resolved to issue an appeal to Leeds citizens for the necessary funds, pointing out that “it is the intention of the Committee to obtain the advice of one of the most eminent architects in the country with regard to the form of the structure, and the public are assured that the memorial will be of a character befitting the memory of our dead heroes and worthy of the city”. [...] At the same time there was unanimity of feeling in favour of a suggestion that donations should be obtained in small sums by collections from workpeople and other who might not be able to afford large subscriptions.
