POST OFFICE CHANGE
HAS ONE LONE FOE
One Hundred Others at Hear
ing Favor Removal From
City Hall Park.
URGED BY EX-GOV. SMITH
Hylan. Craig and Curran to
Confer on Plan With Citi-
zens' Committee.

A pubic hearing was held yesterday
by the Board of Estimate on the subject
of an exchange Of sites between the Fed
eral Government and the city whereby
the old post office building opposite
City Hall would be torn down and a
new one erected on part OF the new
court house site. About hundred per-
sons who favored the project attended
the hearing, as we'll as one man, DR..
Henry w. Berg who opposed it.
At the end of the hearing the Mayor,
at the suggestion of former Gov. Smith.
appointed a committee consisting OF
Comptroller Craig, Henry H. Curran.
President of the Borough of Manhattan,
and himself to confe with the citizens
committee appointed by the Postmaster
General to consider improvements in
postal facilities. Postmaster Morgan
and William Fellowes Morgan, president
of the Merchants Association. and ex-
Gov. Smith were all present to register
approval of the plan.
DR.. Berg, who said he represented a
taxpayers organization of 1000 MEM
bers, asserted that the cost Of the ex-
change and demolition would be great.
He contended that the site was worth
fifteen or twenty millions and the build
ing itself could not be duplicated for
Sis, 100000.
Ex-Gov. Smith argued that the change
would be greatly to the advantage of the
city. He said the army engineers who
had examined the Federal Building had
found 1t wholly inadequate, and empha-
sized the fact that the Federal Govern
ment was paying rent of judges chamb-
ers in thk Woolworth Building. The
municipal Government has been lax in
providing suitable surroundings for city
buildings. Gov. Smith said
I'VE must protect this site down here. y
he declared you might say dispose of
this whole property for $50,000,000 and
then move the City Hall over to Baxter
street, behind the new court house. It's
business proposition and should be
taken advantage eff. Within a short
time you will probably have an appli-
cation for a State building on a part of
the site in Centre street Whether we
like 1t or not Congress is going to return
to us that piece of land on which the
old Post Office stands"
Representative Albert 3. Rossdale also
spoke in favor of the plan.
Mr.. Curran and Mayor Hylan met
face to face at the board meeting for the
first time since Mr.. Curran became the
coalition standard bearer. The nominees
for the Mayoralty sat side by side and
no explosion resulted. Mayor Hylan
took opportunity of asking where Mr..
Curran was at the end of the roll call
because he was not in his seat, and
directed the calling of the roll once

strongly of the opinion that while the

lords to go into court might delay a
quick determination Of the question a

essential.
FIR. Untermyer declined to comment
on the new development yesterday ex-
cept to repeat his warning. expressed
in his opinion filed with the committee,
that in no circumstances should tenants
pay any increased rentals beginning
to-day. They should demand bills of
particulars in every case where an in
crease is asked, then pay at the old
rate until such time as the court de-
termines in test case just what con-
stitutes a fair return for the landlord.
Attention was also directed to the fact
that owners of property constructed
under the tax exempt provision Of the
Lockwood rent and housing legislation
must apply for exemption on their prop
erty before November 1.
