MASS AVENUE EXTEN.
SION.
Sale OF Portion Of the Lyons Mill
PrOperty-The kalOrama Heights
PROPERTY.

Thomas ]. Fisher & Co. have sold to Douglass
Green, of New York, the partnero of A. Z. Bate
man, for $4,000, three acres of the tract OF
land, owned by Evan Lyon, and known as the
Lyons Mill property. The land included in
this sale comprises that portion of this tract
which borders Rock creek in the line of the
proposed Massachusetts, avenue extension. AS
Mr.. Lyon objected to donating his land TO the
District for the purpose OF the extension OF the
avenue, this transfer removes this objection to
the continuance OF the avenue. The representa-
tive OF Mr.. Green, Mr.. John f. Beall, has in
formed the Commissioners that his client is
willing to donate TO the government that por-
tion OF ms recent purchase which may be
needed for the purpose Of the proposed extern
sion. The price paid per acre Tor Tins land is
about the same AS was paid for the kaloraIna
property, which was recently sold TO a Phila-
delphia syndicate. The proceedings begun be.
lore the auditor OF the District court to secure q
partition OF the kalorama property have not
yet reached conclusion, and the new owners
will delay their contemplated Improvements
until the partition is decioed. 1t is stated that
fifth, are unwilling to take money for their in
terest, and ii is expected that an equitable por-
ton of the land will be awarded TO them. The
Philadelphia men can then proceed with their
proposed plans OF subdivision and improve
ment.
Col. Ludlow said to-day that the marshal
would still go on with the proceedings OF con.
demnaton for the Massachusetts avenue extern
sion, as there was AN infant heir among those
iHtcfcSteu III lONett property. Inc law pre-
suInes in such case that objection is made.
Tue withdrawal OF the objeci ION in the case OF
the Lyons property would, however enable the
Commissioners TO GO on with the work of in-
provement. On this property happens to be
the lowest or deepest point touched by the pro-
posed extension, and il Was there that filling
would have To be made and the dirt carteu
from other points dumped. Before this could
be done u cuivert would have to be constructed.
The eXigencies of the work are such that il
would have To be commenced On this property,
and If the objection had not been Withdrawn
delayed. Commissioner Webb expressed the
opinion that as the season had so far advanced
work could not be commenced until ne xt year.
