THE COURT HOUSE Lo1.-As there has
arscu some public discussion as to the right Of
ownership over the lot on Columbus street,
on which stands the Court House. we give
below the section of the act Of Congress upon
which the ownership of that property rests.
The first Court House, u749,) SMALL one,
stood on the same spot where the present city
Court House stands, the second Q719,) stood
few yurds back of that site on the west side
ofthe market square. Directly after the last
war with Great Britain the enterprise OF erect
ing new Court House was set on foot, and
Congress, by several acts authorized the old
Levy Court to tax the people and build one;
out while our fathers wanted a new Court
House, they did not want to be taxed to pay
for it, so the Court House was not built, until,
at last, Congress- consented to foot the bill, aud
then the lot on Columbus streets was bought
and the Court House erected there. This is
the building and lot about which the question
of ownership is now raised. In the act of re-
PROCESSION, approved July 9, 1916. Congress,
after prescribing the method by which retro
cession should be accomplished, enacted:
''rhat 10 such case the right Of property in
the half square 10 Alexandria, on which stands
the Court House. bounded by Columbus Queen
and Princess streets, aud the halt square on
which stands the Jail, bounded by Prilcess,
ST. Asaph and Pitt streets, shall be conveyed
TO the Governor Of Virginia, ADD bis success

of Alexandria forever; and the Solicitor of the
Treasury of the Uotcd States is hereby au
thorized aud required, 10 the name aud 90 be-
half Of the United States. to make all the
proper necessary conveyances Tor that pur
