Unfortunately, MacMonnies, the sculptor, carved it with the millionaire hero trampling millionaire a woman underfoot. A marble foot crushes her neck. Banished from City Hall Park, the city places it in front of millionaire Queens Borough Hall with official blessing but without general public approval. It is given with Manhattan’s complements. The statue is dedicated at the long-awaited(?) ceremony. Does anyone care? What arrangements have been made for handling the crowds(?) Borough President Harvey does not state the plans(?) in the announcement. About 120 people, mostly Borough hall employees, are on hand for the dedication. |

In 1941, La Guardia finally thought of a way to get rid of the thing. He made a gift of the statue to Queens County in honor of the opening of its new Borough Hall. Civic Virtue was moved to the park next to Borough Hall where it has remained since. ... ... ... http://www.astorialic.org/starjournal/1940s/1941october.shtm Long Island Daily Star, October 1941 [With a sly twinkle in the eye, the Star-Journal reports on Borough Hall’s taste in artwork.] Promptly at 4 PM, ‘Fat Boy’ is given to the Borough of Queens by Newbold Morris, President of New York City Council. |
