Memorandum l listing major problems with the facilities and services of the Children’s Court of New York County. The building that currently houses the court is inadequate and even though money has been allocated for a new building, the Board of Aldermen has stalled any action. There is one probation officer for 10,000 cases, nineteen have been requested but the Board of Aldermen has not yet acted. The Big Brothers of America have had excellent results with delinquent boys, but it is funded by volunteers and donors.
