TO LOSE ITS HEAD
Decapitation Suggested as q
Means Of Keeping Head
quarters From
Sinking.

Mayor Pagan, President Mitchell OF
the Police Board, Architect Rowland and
Carpenter George Jones this morning ex-,
amined the interior of police headquarter
building this morning to see what was
stant breaking and cracking of the in
terror walls have led some to believe that
the settling of the building is rendering
it an unsafe structure. This has been
especially noticeable since the driving of
the piles for the building that is to take
the place of the old City Hall. 1t did
not occur, however, to the extent antici-.
pated.
Mr.. Rowland was with the examining
party merely through courtesy He has
not been retained. He said it would be
impossible for any one on mere cursory
examination to say whether or not the
building is safe. In recently underpinning
the building, it was found that several of
the piles under the front wall of the
building that had been imperfeetly driven
had dropped down at least eighteen
inches from the Gaping.
1t is said that the building can be
made safe by driving steel piles by hy-
draulic pressure. To do this, sections of
the floors would have to be cut out, and
it would prove a very expensive job.
The Mayor thinks that the matter
of ascertaining exactly what is needed
to make the building safe is a problem,
and from what he overheard from Ar
chitect Rowland and Carpenter Jones
there was possibility of an outlay of
$4,000. He added:
Il should hardly favor spending that
much money to make such flimsy struc-
ture safe. 1t might be cheaper to put up
a new headquarters building.
Chief Murphy believes that the most
practical thing to do is to take off
the third story, more than one third of
the weight of the building, move police
headquarters and the First Criminal
Court to some other building, and con-
vert the second floor, occupied as head
quarters, and the First Criminal Court.
into dormitories for the Gregory street
station men,
This idea," said the Chief this morn
ing, 'was submitted by me to a we'll
known builder, who is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the condition of the build
ing and the ground or silt upon which
it is built. He says it is practical idea
and that the remaining part of the stfuc-
ture would make good and safe sta
tion house for many years to come"
You know, in the first place it was
not fully intended to make this building
the police headquarters. 1t was believed
at the time it was built that within ten
or fifteen years the city would be able
to put up new headquarters building.
Headquarters should not be located in a
station house"
