BILLS DELUGE MAYOR.


Mayor Mcclellan was deluged with bills from
Albany yesterday. twenty-three coming along al
most in a bunch. The Mayor will give hearings
them on Tuesday and Thursday. The Crotona Park
arm0ry bill is causing the most talk around the
city Hail 1t provides for taking a block Of land
from Crotona Park. in The Bronx. about the size
of Washington Park, for armory site the under
standing being that the sth Regiment VIII ask for
it for building. 1t is understood at the city

kellogg OF the Courthouse Commission called on
President McGoW an yesterday afternoon IN the in
terest of the Newcomb bill which provides for
new, courthouse on the of the present but
extending on the west about fifty feet beyond the
old building and the east clear to Centre street.
This would do away with the present City Court
building. President McGowan is chairman of the
select committee of the Board of Estimate and APP
nortionnent on courthouse sites. This committee
had rejected two sites chosen By the commission,
but President MCGOWAN said last night be was in
favor of the plan to the old site with the addl-
tions noted
Something has got to be done very soon to house
our courts Adequately said Mr.. MCGOWAN. The
commission asks for nifty feet additional on the
west of the old courthouse. and for the space on
the east side running clear to Centre street l
think the request is reasonable. If necessary, a
nassae eeway for pedestrians could be put through
the ground floor Of the new courthouse. The old
CITY Court building could be dispensed with with
out regret
"It would be entirely feasible to build the east
and west ends of the courthouse while the
courts continue to occupy their present quarters,
and when the ends are done the old building could

would permit the occupation OF the old building
until the new wings ends, are up when the
courts could move into them. The new building
would not cost more than $7,O0oO0o. This building
scheme is vastly cheaper than those hitherto pro-
nosed Perhaps there would be room in the new
courthouse for the City Courts. If not. they might
