different blocks in Centre street, be
tween White and Delaney.

city owns three-quarters of the entire
block and it would be necessary to
buy only the remaining quarter of the
block to have a large site A county

Criminal Courts Building and easily
accessible from the new subway that
runs through Lafayette street, AND
from the proposed subway to run un
