COURT HOUSE SITE
STIRS NEW FIGHT
Real Estate Board Objects to
Shift Planned by
McAneny.
FEAR OF BAD BARGAIN
Mcclure Urges Test Of Ground
East Of Worth and
Centre Streets.

The eight-year-oid question. Where
shall we put the new county court house :?
Is not answered yet. though the site
centring at Worth and Centre streets was
officially selected by the Board Of Esti-
mate two years ago and the land has been
condemned and bought by the city.
The Real Estate Board of New York is
preparing to fight, not for the present at
least against George SicAnenys plan to
shift the site block to the east, but for
enough public hearings on that plan to
give the people before a vote is taken in
the Board of Estimate, an idea OF just
what Mr.. McAneny is trying to do and
what tho proposed change would cost.
Laurence. NJ. d. Mcclure. president of
the Real Estate Board. said last night:
II have known about this proposed shift
for six months. but have kept quiet at
the request of Mr.. McAneny. Now |
understand that he Is trying to rush the
matter to a vote in the Board OF Estimate
next Friday without adequate public hear
ings. There has been altogether too much
secrecy. and I consider myself bound no
longer to conceal facts which should be
made public at once.
"A grave mistake was made when some
bought Every we'll Informed real estate

test ought 10 be made and every pre-
caution should be taken. The owners
of real estate in the new area that would
be condemned ought to know what is
going on and ought TO have chance TO
be heard. Mr.. McAneny and l are friends.
lie has the best intentions in the world.
but has unwittingly acted in this matter
in manner to create whole lot OF
suspicion
Mr.. MCGUIRE said that a special COM
mites Of experts whose membership in
cluded T. Treadwell. Joseph Caccavajo
and Frank y. HALEY reported TO the Real
Estate Board on April II that after eN-
aminins the proposed plan for the new
site OF the County Court they advised
against its approval until complete borings
were made and there WAS complete as
surance that firm foundations could be
planted there.
On Tuesday OF this week the executive
committee OF the boards advisory coun-
Gil. whose chairman Is John Clafiin and
of which Mr. Mcclure is Il member. will
meet TO consider the new plans OF the
Board of Estimate special committee. Of
which Mr.. McAneny is chairman.
Mr.. Mcclure said last night he could
not foretell the action OF the Real Estate
Boards committee. but he believed q
would request the Board OF Estimate not
to do anything on Friday or until plenty
OF hearings could be held.
"The whole matter has been badly
handled" Mr. Mcclure went on 1T was a

NOW it is likely that there will

several big successes began with
the production of light. economi-
cal, medium-priced cars of this
type.
BUT it is not probable that any
other maker will build as good a
car as the Jeffrey to sell for the
same price, because Jeffrey is the
one man in America who individu-
ally owns complete automobile
plant. possesses individual assets
of $5,500,000, with 100000 in
equipment. and has never been
known to allow a bill to pass dis
count. He has no stockholders to
satisfy. He merely wants to make
the name of Jeffrey synonym Gus
with the words quality, stability
and success. The margin OF profit
on these new cars is so small that
people would disbelievc us If we
gave the figure.

now of Jeffrey success. They have

4 BOUT one year ago Jeffrey
~ got the idea that people
were growing tired of
driving bulky motor cars. He
heard them complaining of the
cost of up-keep due to unnecessary
weight. Then he saw that cheap
cars were being sold to people who
would prefer more comfort, better
appearance and better quality pro-
vided these things could be had
without sacrifice of economy and
at medium price.
SEVERAL lightweight, high
grade, economical cars had been
developed IN Europe. so Jeffrey
sent his engineers over there. They
frankly copied the best Europe
had to offer, combined these ideas
with the best American experience
and produced the Jeffrey Four
and Six.
THESE are the first light
weight. high-grade, economical
cars of their quality to be sold
in America at 1850 and S2,25O.
Now the Jeffrey factory is running
nights, and twelve million dollars
worth of cars will he delivered
this year.
THE simple idea behind this
success is that of economy. The
small, high-speed motor, now
dominant abroad and introduced
into America by Jeffrey, made
this car possible. Power is at
tanned through engine speed in
stead of engine bulk.
LIGHT weight is made possible
by the use of the best materials.

running ability, and therefore long
