the mechanic are "hand in glove" with one another, and divide
profits. Where does the mechanic come in, even if he has a
chance of winning his suit? Every day he attends the court he
loses that day's pay. By all means agitate this matter and let
us have a fair and-just Mechanics' Lien Law.

The Eleventh Ward, or Hamilton Fish Park, occupies two
blocks, and not one as previously stated. It is bounded by Pitt,
Sheriff, Stanton and East Houston sts. The dimensions of these
blocks were 200x400 each, and the total awards of $1,679,455 are
at the average rate of about .flO a square foot of land taken, in¬
cluding buildings. Bone alley was in the centre of one of these
blocks. It was owned in one parcel consisting of an entrance on
Willett st, 18,9x75, and a plot 50x150 in the middle of the biock,
occupied by flve tenements and a narrow passageway along their
fronts. The award for this parcel was $47,000. It was stated
in the course of the hearings to condemn that a portion of the
entrance on Willett st was leased for $200 a year, and that the
lessee made mopey out of it by renting It out for the storage of
push-'carts. With this is given a diagram showing the property
taken and the awards for lands and buildings ot the several par¬
cels into which it was divided. The more than nominal awards
for lease-interests were the following: No. 226 Stanton st. .$050;
No, 119% Willett St. the entrance to Bone alley, $3,000; No. 127
Willett s't, $7,500; No. 129 Willett st, $14,000; No. 136 Pitt st.
$8,400; same, sub-lessee, $1,GOO; No, 134 Pitt st, $500; No. 113
Sheriff st, $250; No. 115 Pitt st. $2,000; No. 117 Sheriff at, $2,500;
No, 118 Willett st, $400. Objections to these awards, as an¬
nounced in our "Notice to Property Owners" column recently,
may be filed at any time before April 5th; hearings thereon will
begin April 12th, and application will be made to the Supreme
Court for confirmation of the awards April 26th.
