There was long train OF army mules In compe-

the big automobiles fail and that not really

miles from their true destination. But then
they showed their superiority TO the old method.
FOR they did not have 10 wait while weary drivers

THE ARCHITECTS VIEWS.

What is your for favoring City Hall
above any other location for the site of the new
courthouse" Dir. Barney asked few days
ago, just before starting on a vacation trip.
If you wish say anything" ne replied Il
would prefer 10 connne my remarks entirely to the
artistic phase OF the subject IL the city Of New
York. from geographical we'll financial
standpoint. were in position TO destroy all OF the
buildings IN and around the City Hall Park. I
would strongly advocate, from artistic stand
point only, that the municipal centre be moved
uptown: that a large tract OF land be acquired
and group OF municipal buildings be designed and
built thereon. This is, however out OF the ques-
ton. We have expended and are spending millions
OF dollars buildings at that point. and there are
sentimental associations surrounding the old City
Hall Fortunately, however. II is not too late to
formulate a scheme which will embrace the present
az well a. future municipal improvements. which
would give 70 New York In and around the present
City Hall Park a group OF municipal buildings
worthy OF the city, and OF which coming gen.
erations will be proud. BY concentrating archi-
tec'uTal efforts az this point a much more
Imposing composition would be obtained by taking
advantage OF all OF the money that has been al
ready expended than II the courthouse building

Park and the little City Hall and other buildings

crowded and rendered ridiculous by being tucked
away among the mercantile giants which would
eventually surround IL on all sides.
Therefore, In my opinion. the only place upon
which 10 build the courthouse building even
though the site on Union Square, or Washington
square or anywhere else IN the city was i'm
neoaiely available is the present site OF tie old
courthouse. And when say the present site Of
