Thousands Of feet Of waste space has
be n discovered in the plans for the
new court house by the Board of
Estimate experts. Friends Of the
court house plan say that monumental
structure should not have to conform
TO the exact rules of a packing box
where every square inch has 10 De
utilized. Advocates OF economy de-
clare that the court house must CON
form to every idea of utility through
ou.. The dispute between the factions
bids far TO delay the beginning OF the
structure many months.
One thing about the plans that has
interested Mayor Mitchell and others
who have made critical study OF
them since they were presented to the
Board of Estimate for approval IS that
II c court rooms around the periphery
Of the building have been laid out IN

small item Of expense, to say nothing
of the waste sDace. II is understood
that the architect originally laid out
the rooms to conform to the contour
of the building, but that he was or
dered later to change them 10

Of the questions tina. will be put 70
tho Court House Board when 1t meets
the city officials next week.
Another waste of space, according to
those who critcise the plans, is in the
size of the robing rooms FOR the
justices. These rooms and there -
one for each iustice-are simply places
where the Justices keep their robes and
20 to put them on and take them OH.
Yet each room contains more than 700
snuare feet of space. There seems 10
be little question that Mayor Mitchell
will insist that the library space be
reduced and the plans for the lawyers
club be cut out.
While the court house is not on the
calendar of the Board of Estimate for
today discussion may be prccipi-
tated by representatives of the Real

but the increased salary that came
with his last promotion aroused latent
aspirations in his hitherto suppressed
nature.
The duties of Lane were simple and
not irksome, although continuous
through the eight-hour working day.
His mission was to see that good help
was hired, a full assortment Of sup
plies kept in stock, the big floor run
on q sanitary system and everything
kept neat and fresh looking. Twice
in a week his employers had compli-
mented him on new features he had
introduced to bring in custom. Lane
was something Of an artist. and he
had worked overtime to make attrac.
tive picture signs that won attention
and trade for certain specialties the

The others had gone home one aft

a window to admit a current Of fresh
air. 1t looked out on a court dividing
| the store structure from an adjoining
building.
Lane was busily engaged in N

scrambling and quick, sharp squeals
drew his attention to q section Of
the department where the cheese ant
butter supplies were kept.

nally concluded to await devel-

lieved to be disguested with his
Federal League venture, can in
duce the Britons to sell at a
much less figure than they
named last winter, it is thought
that he will buy, in which event
