APPROVE CIRCULAR
COURT HOUSE PLAN
Supreme Court Justices Accept
Guy Lowell's Design, and
Sign Contract.
SITE MAY BE SHIFTED
1t Is Proposed to Make Centre
street Western Limit
of Plot.

Guy Lowelis plans for the new county
court house were formally approved yes
terday by majority of the Supreme
Court Justices Of the first judicial dis
trct. and the members of the court house
board signed n contract with the archl-
tect. As II will take six or eight months
TO prepare detailed plans there need be
no fear that the long delayed building
will spring up Immediately
II Is understood that the site Will be
shifted some distance to the east OF that
originally chosen, which centres AT the IN
tersecton of Worta and Centre streets.
The change will necesstate requirement OF
new property and the sale OF a past 81
that bought by the city In condemnation
proceedings. Such Il shirt was rorecasteu
By THE Sun in January.
Some of the twenty-seven supreme
Court Justices dlsapproNed or the LoWei'
plans and others declined to vote. AT the
Office Of the Court House Board the only
Information was that "a good majority
approved the plans. \ majority decided
on approval last month on condition That
the size of the central circular building
be reduced and minor changes made. II
was said yesterday that the building Will
be further compacted' before construc-
ton IL begun.
with the revised plans before them the
commissioners asked three contractors 10
estimate the buildings cost. The contrac-
tors were the George 4. Fuller Company,
the Thompson Starrctt Company and the
J. W. Bishop Company. one firm estimated
the cost at a little more than 100000
tho two other estimates were lower The
original estimate. based on the plans with
which Mr.. Lowell won the competition.
was between Sl3.00o.O0O and sli,00O.0OO.
Under the contract Mr.. Lowells fee
will be 9 per cent OF the cost OF the
building. out OF which he will pay the
engineers and other specialists needed.
The custom in such undertakings has been
to pay the architect per cent. and al
low ga per cent for the special services.
The Court House Board figures that 1t is
saving the city about per cent. by It's
arrangement with Mr. Lowell.
The contract Is based on the cNpendi-
ture OF 1900, 600. which makes the total
payment to him 5000 lie will re-
ceive 100000 upon the approval of the
preliminary plans and the remainder as the
building contract paymen|s are made.
The preliminary plans must he further
approved by the Board OF Estimate and
the Municipal Art Commission. The Board
of Estimate probably will o. *. them
next Friday.
The site for the court house now in
cludes the six blocks bounded by Leonard.
Lafayette and Park streets and the open
spaces between Chambers street and the
junction OF Lafayette and Park streets.
The contemplated shift will make Centre
street the western limit OF the plot and
extend the plot north to Mulberry Bend
Park. II is understood that the plan
also provides for n boulevard joining the
court house circle AT a tangent and
stretching eastward to the Manhattan
Bridge.

WARNINGS FOR FIVE YEARS
Building Used as Rooming
House Long Marked as
a Death Trap.

For no other reason than that the house
lacked adequate fire escapes. despite the
repeated notices from the Tenement House
Department, six men and five women were
killed early yesterday In a fire at al
and S43 Eighth avenue, near Forty-six:f
street. An account of the fire was printed
IN late editions of THE Sun yesterday
long before the firemen had finished thcil

property as rooming house. made the
GOeltlNe dfSeTtlOT ytstcIuay tic
refusal by the Lavigne estate OF 5000
outlay for fire escapes on the building
was responsible for the loss OF life. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Moore the Tenement House
Department has had fire escape violations
on the building for five years.
Fire Marshal Prial has issued mum.
her Of subpqnas. returnable to-day. for ar
investigation. Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Emkes
and George Wilson. the janitor, and his
wife. negroes. are among those under
subpoena Coroner Healy locked them all
up Immediately after the fire. but dis
charged them later.
Those occupants who escaped got down
the rear fire escape. The stairway to
the roof was blazing early and no one
got out that way.
Chief Kenlon and Fire Marshal PrlaI
Investigated the fire before 1t was cold.
They found a charred pile OF rubbish,
excelsior. paper and boxes at the root oil
The cellar stairs, and they were convinced
that the fire had started there. Wilson
and his wife live in the cellar. although
at some distance from the stairway Chief
Kenlon said he had sent firemcn to warn
tenants OF the building against piling VI
rubbish several days ago.
''There Is no proof as yet that the fire
il of incendiary origin" said Marshal
Prial. He emphasized "as yet" He VIII
make his report to Commissioner Adam
son on Monday.
Mr.. Moore recently represented Emkes
in an action for back rent brought b!
Jean Lavignc as landlord. The action
was dismissed on Lavigne's failure to
nrove that he was administrator or the
estate of his father. Paul I.avigne. whose
will. which had been admitted to probate
made the widow. Marie Terese L.avigne
sole beneficiary. Jean Lavigne. however
has been collecting the rents from the
r-nperty.
The lawyer further explained that when
Emkes first obtained possession OF the
place he cut up some rooms into smaller
ones. There were fire escapes on the
rear of the building. but they embraced
only two windows of one room on each
OF the floors. The other roomers had only
the stairs TO depend upon for escape.
