C. Justices Do Not Favor Locating Building in Ju- diciary Square. Location of the proposed new bulild- ing for the Police Court of the Dis- trict of Columbia in Judiclary Square near the present District courthouse does not meet with the unqualified ap- provai of tha justicea of the Supreme Court of the Distriot, according to un- official advices today to the Commis- slon of Fine Arts. The justices were sald 1o believe that the Police Court Building should not encroach on the present park area of Judiclary* Square, but should be placed somewhere con: tiguous to the District courthouse, robably on Indiana avenue imme- lately across the street from the present Munlcipal Court Building. The Fine Arts Comymission already has recommended that the Police Court Building which was authorized by Congress at the last session, but not appropriated for, should bo placed in Judiclary Square, in the space be- tween K and T street as prolonged into the square. This would bring it Into an east and west line with the San Martin statue, it was sald, and would virtually destroy the value of Judiclary Square as a parade ground for the- District Natlonal Guard. The commission also has recommended that the Pension Bullding be trans- formed into an armory for National Guard use, and suggested that the space in Judiclary Square between the Pension Office and the District court- house be made a parade ground. In addition to their opposition to further encroachment on the park area in Judiclary Square, the justices were sald to feel that the nature of Police Court business, the hustle and crowds that dally attend Police Court and Mrafic Court necessitate the buliding being removed away from the more sedate District court, The McMillan plan of 1901, fer which the Fine Arts Commission stands, contemplates assembling all the courts of the Distrigt of Columbia in Judiciary Square, Judge Schuldt and Chairman Moore of the Fine Arts Commission have = gone over ground thoroughly and agreed the most convenient location for the Police Court Building would be in the uare between a prolongation of the lines of ¥ and ¥ street. The struc- ture, they believe, should cost not less than a miilion dollars, and should be of simple design.

There are instances of bulldings where the finaneing costs ore -exces- sive, but they do not come within the realm of honestly conceived and plan- ned commercial ventures. Hvery one in the real estate fleld knows ot buildings where the loan has been 100 per cent and even more of the total cost, Of course, these are not honest, and nnlx by good luck will they turn out right, “’!‘ha u,!el mldnuth. n[al:hl:: ?"n':': buying real estal 0! n ran\ll:tlnn of the house which issues them.

To the east is the porch and to the west the service porch and servant's-room and bath. In a colonial house these would have been offices or sheds for the storage of farm produce and imple- ments. In planning the house the closest consideration was given to the out- look of the rooms and the provisiona for light and afr were concelved to be somewhat more liberal than would have been found in colonial days. As to decoration, it should be borne in mind that the pineapple over the doorway is & symbol of hospitality, for in the early days there weye very few inns and the traveler more often than not was entertained by the hos- pitable planter who displayed a pine- apple on hia door or gate.
