COURT HOUSE
HEARING TODAY
Finance Committee to Hear
Islanders on Matters.

Many Staten Islanders interested
in the proposal of Borough Presi-
dent Cromwell and his engineer, l..
L. Tribus. to acquire a site n
build a courthouse at St. George ad-
joining Borough Hall, are before
the finance committee Of the Board
of Alderman In the aldermanlc
chamber in Manhattan today at the
hearing on the matter. Alderman
William Fink, in whose district 1t Is
proposed to build the courthouse,
had issued notices for many taxpay-
ers to be present. He is out openly
against acquiring Of an expensive
site, as he terms 1t, when the city
already owns a block of open prop
erty nearby which is lying dead. 1t
is proposed to tear down two hotels,
a bank building, an Office building
and a newspaper building in order
to have a courthouse next to Bor-
ough Hall. This, Alderman Fink
says, Is absolutely unnecessary. He
declares he will vote against the
resolution. Alderman John j.
O'Rourke, of the Seventy-seCOnd al
dermanic district, said he would
vote against the proposition, while
Alderman Charles P. Cole, of the
seventy-third district, would not
commit himself.
