effective background.
However. this question of height and
ground area for the new building, con-
sidered with reference to the City Hall,
is an architectural question and should
be left TO architects. All the preiudiceS
of Judges. commissions and municipal
authorities should give way to artistic
consideration Of the effect Of these two
city buildings together. The new build
ing should be INTELLECTUALLY worthy Of
the city. We do not mean that it should
be an extrayagant structure. It's cost
should he kept within reasonable bounds.
But lis design should be chosen with re-
gard To architectural merit and should
be the result OF competition OF archi-
tects. The building is TO be permanent
and it should be one that New York
will have no cause to regret, either &c
cause of its own defects or because of
disregard of the City Hall in its CON
Struction.
