NEW COURT HOUSE
STILL BIG PROBLEM
Smaller and Less Costly Building
Assured--To Abandon Civic
Centre Plan

original plan OF surrounding the court
house with a splendid park and ane
streets. From now on efforts will be d.
rected toward building a court house
that will be no larger than necessary TO
take care OF the courts. Everything
that Is not essential IN the present plan
Is to be emoved and the cour. house
area Is 20 be reduced az much as posi-
bic and the remaining land sold TO de-
fray the expense OF tho project.
The Real Estate Board OF New York
considers that while the conference ac-
complished much. this does not mean
that the last word has been said as 20
possible economies in this enterprise.
Mr.. Laurence NJ. d. McGu,re. president
OF the board. said:
~ am still OF the opinion that in car
rying Onward the court house site and
civic centre scheme the city Is entering
upon a project OF very doubtful wisdom.
Under existing financial conditions II Is
an obligation that should not be as
sumed. The tax rate IL steadily rising.
The city deb has now reached a stu
pendous total. The debt service charge
Is around $50. 900, 900.
The most Interesting feature OF the
recent development is hat II has taken
the Real Estate Board more than a year
10 orng 10 the city officials conviction
that the court house project Is an ex-
travagancs which should not have been
c~ountenanced. That they have finally
admitted Il In part is sufficient reward
for tho time and trouble II has cost"
The Real Estate Board also has pro
tested against the sale for s. 600 and
demolition OF the ten story Hallerheck
Building at Park and Pear streets. in
the additional court house site. which
the city recently acquired. The board
says that II. as now seems certain. the
court house plans are modified so that
n $4,000, 900 building is constructed In
stead OF a $4,000. 900 building. II may
be that the Hallenbeck Building will
not be Included In the smaller site. In
this case the Hallenbeck building could
very likely he resold by the city for n
substantial sum or II might he utilized
by the Public Service Commission or by
some State or national department.
II may be objected that the general
scheme OF the court house and sur
rounding area might make the perma
nent proximity OF n building Of his
type Inappropriate. But even In this
case It would be we'll worth while. the
board thinks. TO consider renting the
building for a period OF three 70 Ave
years with the idea OF selling Il when
the court house is finished

COUNTRY's BUILDING POOR.
Construction In First Half Year
Wrist Since 1911.

Reports to Brddstreet's Journal from
i2i cities OF the United States show a
total OF 1887 permits issued In the
month Of June this year., with an esti-
mated value Of $52,s35,37s, a decrease OF
~ per cent. in the number OF permits
and of 2O.4 per cent. in value from June
a year ago. The latter month saw a
gain of 3 per cent. over June. 1913. with
the exception OF the New England
States every group OF cities showed a
decrease in permits and all showed a
falling of in values from June a year
ago. while rs out OF 12i cities, or about
two-thirds of all. showed n reduction In
expenditure from that month.
Building expenditures In the second
quarter showed a decrease OF IL per
cent. from a year ago, as against n de-
crease Of ll.2 per cent. in the fret three
months but the decrease OF 30 per cent.
for six months followed n decrease of rs
per cent. in the first half OF last year
from 1913. and the latter In turn showed
a decrease of 25 per cent from 1912.
The half years building seems likely to
be the smallest recorded in any first six
months since 1911.

improvement and every facility for COM
fort and convenience that the better
grades OF Manhattan houses boast.
That Manhattanites are overcoming
their prejudices against The Bronx n
Brooklyn is evidenced by the number of
families which. to escape the higher
rentals OF the central borough, are taxi
ing space In the new houses in the more
distant sections. Builders In the outly-
ing boroughs v been particular to
place their houses along existing transit
lines or near those now building. SO
In The Bronx one may go along the at
tractive west side bordering the Jerome
avenue subway extension or In Brooklyn
along the route Of the Flatbush lines and
there find homes. which II prejudices can
be overcome, will probably prove most
satisfactory. Many homeseekers prob
ably will have to do this because there
will be no other place for them to go.
