SUES CITY OVER NEW SITE
If Title Passed to Courthouse
Land, Owner Wishes to Know It

Samuel Green, owner of the property
Nos. 49 and 45 Centre street on the site
selected for the new county courthouse.
through his counsel, Rosenthal & Steck
ler asked Justice Brady yesterday to
decide just when the city acquired title
TO the properties included in the boun-
daries Of the site.
Under Chapter $50 of the Laws of 1911.
the lawyers contended the city was COM
PEELED to acquire title within six months
after the passage OF the law. or on April
IL last. or the city had the power TO
relocate or abandon a site within those
six months. Mr.. Green's complaint is that
the city has not yet begun the work of
building, nor does ne know from what
date he is TO receive interest on his prop
erty.
His counsel contended that the city
should have taken immediate possession
on acquiring title. The important point
for Mr.. Green is that he will receive 6
per cent interest on his property besides
the value of the property. and he wants
to know from what date this begins.
On the other hand the city is entitled
to all rents collected on the property
from the date the title passed. As mat
ters now stand Green is unable to sell
or mortgage his property. because II is
supposed that the city purposes 10 build
the courthouse on the site which includes
his property.
1t was his intention 10 build an office
building on the property which now he IS
unable TO do And yet, the attorneys
argued. the city has made no effort to
take physical possession Of the property.
Mr.. Rosenthal said that he had no fault
TO find with the progress beinG made by
the commissioners of estimate and ap-
praisal in the taking of testimony as TO
the value OF the property on the site. but
that they were proceeding on the theory
that the city has not yet taken title. AL
though the law clearly gave the city only
six months from last October to do so.

For the Right Person There

Among the numerous occupations now

a vocation which calls for no speclai
