leader in Kings County. who was removed
from the place OF Deputy Street Cleaning
Commissioner for Brooklyn. wanted to tell
his troubles to the Mayor yesterday. but
the latter vas too busy with other call
ers So Mr.. Murphy gave out the follow
ing statement in reply to reasons that
Commissioner Edwards gave for removing
him:
The only reason 7 can see for my re-
moval is that I am leader Of the 18th
Assembly District for the Democratic party
IN the County OF Kings. Mr.. Scott, my
successor, Is Republican. and a lieu
tenant of Michael J. Dady in his district.
When Mr.. Edwards says that I have not
performed my duty well he says what is
unqualifedly false. I have been connected
with the department for years and have
"It would seem as II the only way to
get job under the present administra-
ton is to turn Republican" Murphy said,
as he left the City Hall.

The first snowstorrn cost the city $780,
900, and the snowfall was four and
half inches less than fell in the last

big TIM" STRIKES 1T RICH.
Said To Be Making Money in Dyckman
Section Realty

Senator Timothy D. Sullivan is now
numbered among the big successful specu-
lators in northerly Manhattan real estate.
He recently figured as a large buyer of
vacant plots in the Dyckman district the
most northwesterly zone OF Manhattan ISL
and. and since then values in that region
have risen from Is TO 25 per cent He
has made some profitable sales through
Thomas L. Reynolds & Co, his brokers.
Many realty experts think that the buy
ing movement in the district will continue
for many months. and that Big Tim" is
almost certain to make larger profits than
he has. He apparently entered the section
at the most opportune time.
Ever since about 1875 this part of Man.
haitian has been the scene OF large specu-
lative realty iurries. No matter how
brisk the realty activity in other and more
southerly districts, hundreds of persons
could usually be found talking raptur-
ously OF the Dyckman district. and SEEM

thought the Dyckman region would be-
The realty hopes and fortunes Of some
men, who in their day were included
among the prominent figures in the realty

FOR CITY HILL PARK,
Gaynor Wants Proposed Nezc
Courthouse Built There.

Mayor Gaynor expressed himself yester-
day in favor OF building the proposed new
courthouse in City Hall Park He did this
in appointing a new commission to choose
a site to take the place of the old board,
which resigned a week ago.
1t is understood that a bill has been
drafted by the New York County Lawyers
Association to amend the law so that a
large enough site for the proposed court
house may be used in City Hall Park. The
present law provides that should a new
courthouse be built in the park it can occu-
py no more ground than is occupied by the
present Supreme Court building
The members of the new commission are
ex-Justice Morgan ]. O'Brien. former Con-
troller Edward NJ Grout, ex-Justice Henry
A. Gilderseeve. Charles Strauss and L.
Latin Kellogg. The latest two have been
members Of a special committee Of the New
York County Lawyers Association, which
has been advocating the City Hall Park site
for some time. In notifying the members
of the commission of their appointment the
Mayor wrote:
stitute the Courthouse Board In doing
so may l suggest to you, subject to cor
rection, and to better opinion. that the
best site for the new courthouse is the
site of the present courthouse in City Hall
Square? I hope that you will be able to
OBTAIN from the Legislature act en-
larg1ng the foundation area that may be
used, for the spare space about the present
courthouse is ample The existing stat
utory restriction of the surface that may
be occupied is too large. At all events,
/ hope that the courthouse will not be
taken away from this centre. To do so
would injure of1ce property and be a need
less destruction of invested capital More
over, this established centre is the most
convenient
Judge O'Brien and Mr.. Grout were mem
bers of the old board The other members
were Charles S. Fairchild. David B. Ogden
and William N. Cohen. In sending in their
report and their designations to the Mayor
the old commission acknowledged that 1t
had been unsuccessful in finding site in
spite OF the greatest diligence, and de-
clared 1t due 10 circumstances over which
it had no control. It's members referred
to the fact that the Board Of Estimate
had already rejected two sites chosen as be-
ing too expensive, and declared that in
view of the financial condition of the city
it would be waste OF time to look further
for property which would cost the city a
large amount Of money.
The only other alternative. they declared.
was to build the new courthouse in some
park. and for that purpose City Hall Park
was the most suitable. But it would be
impossible to build suitable structure on
the same area as occupied by the present
courthouse. which meant that the law
would have to be amended

TALKED OVER SUCCESSOR.

Although there had been not a little
applause for the oratory Of Colonel
Gruber, his amendment was lost, and
the resolution was passed with a roar.
Herbert Parsons succeeded William
Halpin as chairman Of the county COM
mittee in 1905 in a fight in which the
Odell forces were routed. The next year
he was successful in defending himself
from the attacks Of the Odell men. and
since then had steadily increased his
power in the organization.
