Maror Jloorc wns In consultation to
t.. .mi riiv Ilnll offlclftlB concerning
M project for n City Ilnll annex at
(,i.,l nnd Knee' streets.
The Mnyor's siiRRCstlon, In tlie form
of nn ordinnncc. Is now before Council,
., Is nn ordinance backed by Council
"an Chorion H. Hall, to take over for
the same purpose the plot of ground
(from Commerce to Filbert strcctH, and
Thirteenth to Juniper. Tho assessment
Af the nlot" of Rround backed by Mr.
11.11 I$1.IJ73,CKI0, while that of, the
nlnt favored by the Mayor Is something
F, than IWO.000.
Following t'lp conference the Mayor
Vnlil in regard to the Uroad and Race
itreett plot: v
"This project is the most feasible at
tliis time. Wc nro In immediate need
nf relief from City Hall congestion.
"A ,$5,000,000 or .flQ.000,000 pro
Joct Involving the heavy condemnation
of land, would postpone a City Hall
annex for a long time; and a project
'along the Parkway, while desirable, If
not almost prohibitive as to cost, would
likewise tend to delnv.
"The Ilrond and Itace streets site is
Unliable and we could go ahead with
I at once. Wc own most nf the pVop-
crtv now the State Fenclules' armory
and the fire bureau nJatton. Tlic corner
which we would have t6 condemn has
been sold recently for less than $ri00,.
000. Therefore, wc know whnt wc
'would have to pay. and wo could begin
Hearing down tlio buildings almost Im
mediately and proceed with the work
'of construction at a cost In no way
comparable with the larger projects
which have been advanced."
The Mayor's ordinnncc was taken up
at a meeting of Council's committee
od city property yesterday. At the Bug
(estlon of Mr. Hall action on the
Mayor's ordinance was postponed.
Members of the committee asked for
plans nf both plq.ts and complete in
formation regarding assessed values.
A (tter from Mlers Ilusch, chairman
of the committee on municipal affairs
of the Hoard of Trade, was read at the
meeting. The letter, addressed to Mr.
Hall, fnvorcd the more expensive proj
ect. He suggested that the city even
rnlargo upon tills scheme nud tnkn over
the whole plot from Filbert to Market
street.
The ground from Juniper to Thir
teenth. Thomas to Market, is assessed
at $4,015,000.
Mayor Moore today called attention
to the fact thnt Mr. Ilusch had been
referred to at the meeting as approving
the Ilnll project, and thnt on the
strength of this letter Council desired
tlip mutter to so to n nubile henrine.
"If Mr. ilusch hnd approved another.
project ntm n more costly one. ' said
the Mayor, "he has also approved the
project at Uroad and Ilaco streets,
The Major exhibited a letter ad
dressed to 'him by Mr. Busch nlidcr dale
of Juno 22, commending tlio Mnyor's
plan.
After' explaining that the board of
trade had been In favor of" such h
project for years, Mr. Ilusch concluded :
"Wo believe the deportment will re
quiro nil the space obtainable nt that
point and as,tlic locution is central nnd
the city already .owns n large propor-i
tlon of the Around, wc heartily indorse
nnd hope the funds will be found to
carry It out"
