The warden and vestry of St. Barthol
omew' Church lmvo taken nn option on
the alto now occupied by tho F. A M.
getuefer Brewing Company on Park
avenue between Fiftieth nnd Fifty-first
MreeU. and It tho present plana are car
ried out will erect a new church there.
The present church building at Madison
avenue and Forty-fourth street will bo
torn down and the property Isold.
The announcement of the securing of
the option was made by the Itev. Dr.
Lelghton Parka, rector of St. Bartholo
mew's, from tho pulpit yesterday morning.
"The point la this," Dr. Parks aald yes
terday afternoon. "We found the organ
needs to be rebuilt, the church Is very
"much out of repair and the foundation Is
not In a satisfactory state, and therefore
It would cost a very large sum of money
to restore the church building to tho
condition It was In fifteen years ugo.
Other Itensons for Chance.
"The conditions surrounding the church
have changed greatly within a few years.
The building of the great hotel opposite has
caused so great a wind to blow past the
front of the church that It la difficult
to get In and out In a storm. For these
nd other reasons the vestry decided
that It was better to move to another
(Ite. Therefore we have taken an option
on the Park avenue property. '
"According to the law of the State
governing the Kplacopal Church It la nee
.ssary to get the formal consent of the
Blfhop. of the standing committee of tho
diocese,, uf the Supreme Court and also
it the three par'shea nearest to tho pro
moted site. These aro the Church of tho
it.siv.iitv lteL on Fifth avenue near
rorty-llfth street: the Church of St. Mary
the Virgin. In Forty-sixth street near
Seventh avenue, nild St. Thomas's Church.
t Fifth avenue and Fifty-third street.
Nothing further can be done until these
formalities have been complied with.
"It Is proposed to tako a great deal of
the present church with ua and Incor
porate It In the new building. Wo shall

The .ncertuluty of the future of the
property to the north and south of the
church Is another reason for the decision
to move."
Mte Held at 1,500,000.
The ealo of the brewery property, one
of the largest real ewtnte transactions of
the year, became public last Friday, but
the name of the buyer waa withheld. The
Metropolitan Opera House, the Academy
of Design and the llacquct and Tennis
Club were mentioned by real estate men
aa possible purchasers. The price to be
paid has not been announced, but the
brewery Interests have held the property
nt 11,500.000.
The present site of St. Bartholomew's
occupies 75,5 frontage on Madison ave
r.us and 145 fret nn Forty-fourth street.
Htitl estate men appralso tho property
at between )1, 200,000 and $1, 300,000. The

eipcts to get approximately the panto

yesterday, favor stopping cars on the near

The near side stop Is the rule In practi
cally all big cities other than New York.
In this city, however, the cars must stop
on the near side of the crossing for flra
streeta and for school streets and for other
reasons, so that at many crossings the
cars stop twice, thus causing a great
waste of time.

FIXED POSTS TO GO,
SO THE POLICE HEAR
Commissioner Woods Just,
Smiles nt Humor and Says
His Mind Is Open.
A rumor was current last night that
Police Commissioner Woods Is planning
to abolish fixed posts In the Twenty
ninth (East Fifty-first street station) and
Twenty-sixth precincts (West Forty
seventh street station!, it caused a stir
among policemen generally.
Tho rumor was based on n statement
that thirty-six fixed post men attached to
the Kast Fifty-first street station will re
port at a A. M. to-day to receive new de
tails. Some of the men, It Ik understood,
will be sent to the new Sixty-second
precinct In Tho Bronx.
It Is 'known that Commissioner Woods
has been nslilng questions of policemen
as to tho workings of tho fixed post, which
most of the older officers admit thev do
not like. A few nights aKo ho 'Isltcd the
West Forty-seventh Btreet station ss the
men were being turned out nnd Inquired
of several as to the conrpnratlve number
of arrests made on fixed and on regular
posts. The men did not hesitate to tell
him that they believed more effective
work could bo done If the fixed posts were
abolished.
This question was put to Commissioner
Woods last night by a Sun man:
"Is It true that fixed posts in the
Twenty-sixth and Twenty-ninth precincts
have been abollshedV"
"It Is not true." ho answered.
"Aro you considering such a plan?"
"That's a hard question to answer.
At present my mind Is open. I am con
sidering everything that mlnht be of
benefit to tho police and to the service.
Among the many things that might be
of benefit to the department li the tlxed
post. I don't know whether the fixed
post will bo extended, reduced or abol
ished." In a recent speech In Brooklyn the
Police Commissioner said ho would see
that that city got morn policemen. It l
possible that tho Commlsslonor'H plans
may result in the transfer across tho
bridge of some fixed post men and others.
' Among them may lw some of the
"rookies" at the Kast Fifty-first street
I station who wero sent there tn a body by
, former Police Commissioner Waldo In the
closing hours of his administration.
