bill authorizing the building of a new courthouse

He also vetoed the bill allowing the city of New
burg take water from the CatskiIl Aqueduct
He approved the Brooklyn courthouse bill.
In his memorandum accompanying the veto of
the courthouse bill the Mayor says:
This bill contains two mandatory feat
ures which preclude my accepting the same for the
north Of CITY Hall park and the placing Of the
courthouse in City Hall Park and on the new block
Cade Chambers street
The proposed legislation eliminates the functions

The expense of this new block north of Cham
bers street is varousy estimated. and feel con,
probability be a low estimate of what this new
land would eventually cost the city. courthouse
would thereafter be erected which in itself would
cost many million dollars more ,. -,
ing on this bill it was shown that the block north
of Chambers street TO be acquired would not be
used entirely for the courthouse but an additional
park would be laid out imediately north OF CIty
This feature of the bill raises the question as

than in European countries. he said.
1T has often been remarked that the appliances
