The Park Board has decided to request the Board of Estimates and Apportionment to transfer $20,000 of an unexpended balance to an account of $30,000 for the erection of an elaborate system of greenhouses in Central Park, near 104th street and Sth avenue, to occupy 48,000 square feet of space. To celebrate the Ninth Anniversary of its organization there wiil be a Smoker held at the Building Trades' Club-rooms, Sat¬ urday evening, March 12th. The House Committee, T. P. Byrne, Chairman, states that the best talent has been secured, including the Manhattan Trio, Evans. Halliday & Ward, and others; and a ro/al good t.me is anticipated. The suggestion bas been made to the Board of Public Improve¬ ments that the approaches to the viaduct extension of Riverside Drive over the lowlands of Manhattanville should be of granite instead of marble. The substitution of granite wiil mean an ad¬ ditional cost of about $80,000. The board has referred the matter to Engineer Webster and Commissioner Keating, of the Depart¬ ment of Highways. A new company, called the Riverside Building Company, has been formed, with a capital stock of $S0,tiO0, in SOO shares of $100 each. Clarence True, No. 459 Boulevard, is president and treasurer, and E. L. Schiller, !?ecretary. The avowed purpose of the company is to do a general building business. It will be seen in another column that Mr. True is proceeding with the organiza¬ tion of his big building operation on Riverside Drive, inasmuch as he has obtained a loan tor the erection of six 5-story brick and stone-front dwellings on the southeast corner of SSd street and the Drive. James B. Lord has submitted to the Building Department plans for the new Court House for the Appellate Division of theSupreme Court, to be erected at the northeast corner of Madison avenut and 25th street. The new buiiding, which will be three stories in height, will be built of brick with marble facades, and wili cost $638,000. The general style of architecture will be the Corinthian. The main courtroom will be in the easterly half of the structure, the Madison avenue front being devoted to the Judges' private chambers and a number of smaller rooms. There will be en¬ trances on the avenue and on the street. The Secretary of the Treasury has submitted to Congress the recommendation of Supervising Architect Taylor that the limit of cost for the new immigration station at Ellis Island be in¬ creased from $650,000 to $1,000,000. The estimates of increase, for which Mr. Taylor advances reasons in detail, are as follows: Surgeons' house, $9,500; additional wing to main building, $45,- 000; hospital outbuildings, $33,340; immigrants' disinfection bathhouse and laundry, $,55,200; kitchen and restaurant building, $30,000; boilerhouse, $50,000; repairs to crib work and ferry slip, $20,000; sewers and water supply, $11,450; water pipes to Jersey City, $10,000; naphtha launch, $4,000; new ferryhouses, $3,SO0; covered walks between buildings, $25,000; additional cost bulk¬ heads, $40,000; contingencies, $63,010. TRADE NOTES. LIGHT, An architect who lays out the lighting of a room of unusual shape or size, is pretty certain to find the realization of his scheme unsatisfactory in one or another way.
