ion of
time when this school will move elsewhere. This plan throws away the
opportunity of making profitable use of this land.

The main objection to this plan, however, is that, although expensive,
it brings practically no help to downtown Brooklyn. It dissociates the
desired factors and does not relate them. It simply procures an
isolated court house, leaving the business center of the borough as
badly off as before.

SECOND PLAN

FLATBUSH AVENUE EXTENSION SITE FOR COURT HOUSE

(See diagram marked Plan 2)

1. Cost of bridge changes and re-location of
tracks as estimated by the Department
of Bridges, and assessed value of
additional property required for same $4,012,095.00

2. Assessed valuation of land and buildings
between Washington and Fulton streets 1,249,100.00

3. Assessed valuation of land and buildings
Flatbush Avenue Extension site for
court house 564,650.00

4. Municipal Building site at south-west corner
of Court and Joralemon streets
(title now vested in the city)
-------------
Total $5,825,845.00

In this plan the court house would be 1,730 feet from the Hall of
Records. The transaction of court business on the border of the retail
shopping district would increase street congestion. It is distant from
the present office district, and, if selected, injury to the present
office district would result. It is inconvenient to residents of
certain parts of the city. If court rooms fronted on the street they
would yearly become more subject to noise. The available space would
not afford as large an interior court as would be desirable if the
court rooms were to face inside. If this site were acquired, the
bridge plaza would probably remain unopened. Like Plan 1, this plan
scatters the benefit of the four factors under discussion, and does
not unite them.

THIRD PLAN

tracks as estimated by the Department
of Bridges, and assessed value of
additional property required for same $4,012,095.00
