BROOKLYN COURTS.
SUPERIOR COuRv-speClM TERM.
The Proposed Armory for the Twenty.
Third Regiment.

The Proposed Armory for the Twenty.
Third Regiment.
Before Judge Tappen.
motion was made yesterday by General Crooko
for mandamus to compel the Board of Supervisors
to award VIM. b. Ditmars the contract for building
the proposed armory for the Twenty third RegI-
ment, according to plans submitted by him. Among
those who submitted plans to the Board were the
relator, Ditmars, and Mundell Teckritz, whose
plans were marked "B" and &c" respectively The
approximate price Of the first, with wooden roof
was se2 O0O and, with an iron roof 100000, while
in the plans OF Ditmars the estimated cost of the
building, with wooden roof, was given at SOS, ,0OO
The Board had decided that the estimated cost must
not exceed 100000, and they finally adopted Nun
Counsel for Ditmars contended that when esti-
mates were applied for to build the arm0ry accord
ing to plans &C. and"G" they exceeded 100000 by
be altered so that the estimated cost would not ex-
ceed the stipulated sum.
Mr. Jesse Johnson appeared for the Board and
contended that the relief asked for was absurd as
plaintiff insisted that defendant should build the
armSry yc according Ing to- MS plans IN order that he
that claim being the only basis OF standing I'm
Court. There had hitherto been nothing at all to
show that his plans would involve only an expend-
ture OF one hundred thousand dollars or less. It
was not claimed that his plans would cost less than
the Others and the Board had reserved to itself the
right to Judge which plan would be the most suit
able for the building
Counsellor Johnson read an affidavit signed by
Supervisor Fletcher, Chairman OF the Military
Committee, showing that there was no provision
made In the plans of Mr. Ditmars for an iron roof,
and the estimated cost would be about ninety
eight thousand dollars with wooden roof. Such
roof would not be suitable, even If t would have
been allowed to put 1t in that section OF the city.
To modify his plan and put an iron roof on the
building would cost $4,000 or 100000. Mr.. John
son then submitted bill sept by Mr. Ditmars to the
Board OF Supervisors for $3.50 for the second award
The Board was anxious to enter into q contract
to erect the building for $ss0O0 and II there
further delay considerable difficulty would ersue.
All that was now to be done in the matter was for
the committee to sign the contract.
The motion for a mandamus was denied, but
counsel was granted leave to renew his motion on
additional papers.
Property Owners Versus Railroad COM
pany.
An order was issued Yesterday by Judge Tappen
requiring the Williamsburg and Flatbush Avenue
Railroad Company to show cause why an injunction
should not be issued restraining them from laying
their tracks along Lee avenue. The ORDER which
was made returnable on Monday next, was issued
application OF John II. Zeindel and other property
owners on the avenue, who allege that II the COM
pany should lay their tracks there they would do so
In violation OF their charter, which provides that
they must first obtain the consent OF majority OF
the property owners.

Crusade OF the Dock Commissioners
Against Oyster Barges.


Against Oyster Barges.
Before Judge Robinson.
Alexander Fraser vs.. the Dock Commissioners
The plaintilr has an oyster barge at the bulkhead
between piers SO and 5S East River. Some time
since the Dock Commissioners gave him notice that
he must remove 1t. This the plaintif objected to,
and brought suit in this Court to restrain the Com
missioners from removing the barge Judge Beebe
insisted on the right OF the plaintiff to keep his
oyster barge where Ii IL under permission OF the
Harbor Master. He further urged that the wharf
was not needed Tor repairs, and that the DOCK
commissioners only had the right to interfere for
the purpose OF repairing or rebuilding the docks
He dwelt at length upon the Importance OF this
barge to the oyster trade OF the city,
1t being used as sort Of receiving and
distributing oyster warehouse, and the
loss that would entail not only upon the
plaintiff, on Its removal, but to the great incon-
Counsel to the Corporation, protested that the
Harbor Master had no right to assign any wharf TO
anything but commercial vessel for commercial
purposes, and only during a reasonable time for
such purposes. This barge, he claimed, was not a
commercial vessel, but merely warehouse. The
Dock commissioners, he also urged, had full power
over all the Vlocks and slips Of the city, and that
this power was not limited to repairing and re-
building, but by the statute that Its exercise was
In conclusion, he urged that the whole matter had
been settled by decision OF Judge Barrett, OF the
Supreme Court, in the case OF hay barges the same
principles OF law being involved in both cases. At
the conclusion OF the argument the Court took the
papers, reServlng its decision.
