TO SEEK COURTS AID
IN BUILDING CONFLICT
Fire Department Rules and New
Code Cause Tangle.

An action is soon to be begun in the
local courts to ascertain whether or
not the new building code takes prece-
dence over the regulations of the Fire
Department. Many owners who have
complied strictly with the building code
have subsequently been compelled by
the Fire Department TO make extensive
alterations to thci" structures. The
Advisory Council Of Real Estate Inter
est is seeking to remove this conflict
OF rules.
I'm the interest Of eliminating the
duplicate examination Of plans for eN-
it's in buildings hereafter erected the
Fire Department respectfully suggests
the following arrangement: That the
plans for buildings to which Article S
of the building code applies be exam
ned for exits by the Bureau of Build
ings. That the prior approval of the
Bureau Of Fire Prevention be required
i'm every case where provisions Of the
building code relating TO exits are
waived That certain requirements OF
the Fire Department be enforced by the
Building Department. That in all other
cases the plans be passed for exits
without submission to the Bureau Of
Fire Prevention.

RAPID WORK DONE ON
THIS COURTHOUSE
to White Plains Struct-
ure Nearly Completed.

Work is progressing so rapidly on
the new addition TO the White Plains
court house. which will cost about
$500. 900. that il is expected IT will be
ready for occupancy when the October
term of the Supreme Court convenes.
There will be three new parts IN the
building in addition TO the two parts
in the old wing, so that there will be
plenty Of room, il is thought, for the
courts for many years TO come. The
legal business in Westchester County
has greatly increased in the past few
wears. and now it is absolutely neces-
sary to have three parts IN session
almost all the time 10 handle the
many cases on the calendars.
Many persons have been attracted by
the inscription on the granite blocks
above the huted columns recently set
in place at the entrance to the new
building The inscription is quota
ton from the Great Charter of English
liberty granted by King John at
Runnymede, June 10. 1915.
The inscription is: "To none will We
SELL 20 none will we delay. to none will
we deny, right and Justice
The inscription is not the exact QUO
tation from the Magma Charta. since
the original is shorter by few words
and reads ITO none will we sell. to
none deny or delay. right and justice" ."
1t extends over the full width Of the
building facing on Main Street.

New-York tribune., 1916-07-02

The ground at East l11th ST. and the
Bronx River on which the West Farms
Exposition and Amusement Park will
be built was for years known as the
Wilson farm. before il was acquired by
Baron William Waldorf Astor. Al the
brink Of the river. which skirts the
property. there still can be seen the
ruins OF the foundations OF the store
house OF the old De Lancey mill OF
pre- re-Revolutionary days. which after
ward was known as Lydig's Mill. The
ruins Of the mill itself, with its old
stone millrace, are one OF the pictu-
rescue bits IN Bronx Park. three blocks
10 the north. The shallow waters OF
the river, just below the mill, pre-
vented the products from being shipped
TO the then distant city Of New York,
so the storehouse was built at a point
where tidewater could be reached.
The next old landmark on the prop
orty is the link connecting the Revolu-
tionary period with the present day a
solidly built stone mansion whose foun-
dations were laid about the time the
old storehOuse on the riverside first
began 20 show signs Of decay. The
exact date Of its erection is lost in the
haze Of the distant past. but its history
for more than a hundred years has
been handed down by tradition among
the oldest inhabitants Of the West
Farms section. The beautiful hard
wood floors and delicate walnut bal
ustrades of the old Colonial stairways
are in as good condition to-day as they
were in the days when Edgar Allan Poe
was wont TO walk down from Pelham
and visit with his friends in West
Farms. 1t is the intention Of the man
agement Of the West Farms EXposi-
tion and Amusement Park to retain the
old mansion as tie between the past
and the present.
Real estate men Of The Bronx, how
ever. are trying to determine how much
building in the East Bronx in the next
five years will be directly traceable to
the establishment OF the exposition
They probably can get some inspirs-
tion from a statement made by OIn
J. Stephens, the chairman Of the trarhc
and waterways committee OF The Bronx
Board Of Trade, who says:
zone thing is certain TO develop from
the opening OF this exposition, and
that is better service on the surface

euished from social importance. Park
ay. has the larger number. the majority
Of whom reside in apartment houses.
whereas a decade ago most Of them
owned and occupied private dwellings,
in various good residential parts o.:
town. So great is the steady exodus
from private houses TO apartments and
TO fine suburban homes or country
estates within easy reach Of the city
that the town house in Manhattan Is
doomed to disappear gradually. Even
the American basement dwelling,
which enjoyed greater favor than
the high stopped dwelling in the
last decade has been surpassed in pop.
ularity by the high class apartment.
The increasing taxes and fee values
had much to do with the abandonment
Of private houses. but the greater CON
veniences of modern apartments and
the tendency to reside in the country
in the pleasant months OF the year are
strong contributing causes.
