The Police Court Site.

Discussion yesterday OF a site for
the proposed new police court building
between members of the Commission
Of Fine Arts and representatives of
the local judiciary resulting in no con-
clusion. the matter has been post
poned for consideration at the Novem-
ber meeting Of the commission. Two
distinct propositions are in mind-to
place the new court on Judiciary
Square or to place it on privately
owned land in the neighborhood. Ad-
vocates Of the park site are inspired
by the belief that only by that meth
cd can the building. which is urgently
needed, be quickly secured. OppOsi-
tion to the park site does not spring
entirely from an indisposition to tres
pass further upon the public reserva-
tion. Space still available there. it
would seem, is desired for another
type Of judiciary building than the
Police Court.
A new police court building is un-
doubtedly urgently needed. 1t should
not be delayed The business of the
court is hampered by the present
equipment The public is isdiscommoded,
enda neered indeed, and Inundated by
the shameful condition in which the
business of this court of first instance
has perforce to be conducted. Natu-
rally the Police Court judges are de-
sirous of the speediest possible action
and look to the space OF Judiciary
Square not yet occupied by buildings
as promising the earliest possible re-
lief from their present embarrass-
ments and handicaps. But it does not
follow that Congress, though always
disposed toward economy in the mat
ter Of building emplacements, will hes
itate about appropriating funds for
stsltable site outside Of the park. The
need of the building is already demon
strated 1t must be provided in the
very near future.
The thought of filing up Judiciary
Square with public buildings is not
agreeab bile. 1t now contains three
structures, the old and recently re-
modelled District Supreme Court
house, the Court of Appeals and the
great red brick barn known for dec
AIDES as the "Pension Office Orig
inally this reservation was not de-
signed for building uses. The City
Hail." according to first plans. which
should have been on Pennsylvania
avenue, was placed there by COM
promise in an emergency of need when
it was found impossible to agree upon
an Avenue site and the price for the
same. Then afterward the old Jail
was located in the square on the
north side, it being considered as an
appropriate situation in view OF the
presence OF the courthouse on the
southern side. When the present jail
was built on the banks of the Anacos-
tia the old one was razed. The park
should then have been kept free of
further trespass. But when pro-
vision was made for q home for the
Pension Office a mistaken sense of
economy caused it to be located on
the site of the old Jail. In recent
wears the Appellate Court was given
a new housing on the west side of
the square.
Judiciary Square should not be
made a dumping ground for public
structures. sites for which are not
readily obtainable because Of strin-
sency of appropriation. If it is de
sirable to group the judicial build
ings. land adjoining but outside OF
the park area should be taken.
