Mr. Hirsh based his estimate on. the alleged fact that the figures on the assessment books fall far below what the vari- adjoining property owners for closing Schermerhorn street, would bring the total up to $10,000,000.

Judges Explain Reason for Their Selection, but Attorney Hirsh for Property Owners Declares Cost of the Blocks Proposed Will Be at Least $10,000,000.

v-- INCE the board of resident judges in charge of the construction of the new court house handed in their decision in favor of the two blocks bounded by Livingston, Court, State and Cinton streets, considerable discussion has arisen in regard to the wisdom of the choice. The judges defend their position by comparing the assessed valuation of property on the throe sites most recently mentioned, namely, the Packer Iblock site, the Scherinerborn street site and the site at present occupied by tho Court House. These comparisons do not, of course, take into consideration the increase in valuation which, according to Hugo Hirsh, would bring the cost of the two blocks selected, including the cost of, erecting the needed building, up to $10,000,000. Attention is also directed by the judges to the so-called divergence of Interest between the county and city which made tho selection of the present aite impossible it the view of the judges, and to the fact that the Llock now occupied is not large enou'j to accommodate both a court house and a municipal building.
