The Certificate Holders Association of the
Builders Exchange has given place to the
Builders Exchange Improvement Company
OF this city, which was recently organized
under the laws of the State of Virginia with
the following officers: Thomas j. King, presi-
dent; II. A. Jones, vice president; Frank N.
DevereauX, secretary, and William G. Morri-
son, treasurer. With the completion of the
Builders Exchange the former association
had practically outlived its usefulness, as it's
principal object was to procure permanent
building for the Exchange. The association
was, in fact, nothing more than a syndicate
formed to erect the Builders Exchange. 1t
could issue stock. but this stock had no com
mercial value The Builders Exchange I'm
proVement Company on the other hand was
incorporated with capital of $175, ,000 and its
first act was to purchase the Builders Ex-
change building from the Certificate Holders
Association for $l20,0 in stock This stock
is transferable and can be used for CONNER
cial purpose. The new company has greater
powers than the old one.

ROCK CREEK PARK SITE.
THE COURT CLEARS THE WAY FOR
ACQUIRING THE LAND.
The Work of the Commission Can
Now BE Done without Further
Serious Delsy-The Assessors' Work
May BE Completed by September

During the past week proceedings of con-
siderable Importance to those interested in the
Rock Creek Park site have gone forward in
the courts The action of the court, to state
the position conc.sely, was to overthrow the
barriers placed In the way of the Commission
and to put an end to the demurrers and de-
lays which technical points had given the
dissatisfied property owners an opportunity
for interposing. 1t now seems that the work
must go forward at rapid rate and that the
endeavors to put drag on proceedings must
cease BY the decision of the court the law is de-
clared constitutional and the Rock Creek Park
Commission is authorized to go ahead with
their work In accordance with this action,
the appraisers have been appointed and on
Friday received their instructions from the
court. In effe ct they were similar to those
given to the assessors of the new postof1ice site,
the differences being so mmaterial as not to
be worth noting. The next ten days will prob
ably be consumed by the assessors in carefully
examining the ground within the limits of
which the Park Commission has designated
that the park shall be located. Each piece of
property will be personally gone over, so that
the assessors will be well acquainted with
every section of it. Besides this the assessors
will be il almost daily session in order to give
those who desire to have their claims stated an
opportunity to do so. At the latest it is be-
lieved the work of the assessors should not be
prolonged after September /, and by that
time, at least, they will be ready to report
their findings to the court. When this has
been done the approval of the President and
then the court are necessary to make the work
of the assessors legal When the allotments
of the assessors are legalized the examination
of the titles and the condemnation proceed
ings in court are begun. When this is COM
pleted nothing further remains to be
done in order that the land may be-
come the property of the United
States but to pay over the $1,200,00O ap-
propriated by Congress. Many of those who
own property within the boundaries of the
new park believe that the sum appropriated
by Congress is not sufficient to purchase all
the land within the limits if prices which the
value of the land justify are paid for it. The
property owners claim that an allowance
should be made for those whose property is
entirely included within the park as the re-
mainder of the land of those only q part of
which is taken will be enhanced a hundred
fold by the establishment of the park itself.
Ii it should happen that the appropriation
Is not sufficient, all the land which can be
obtained for the 81 100000 will be purchased
and at the next session of Congress an ad-
ditional sum will be asked for to complete
the purchase. The Park Commissioner, how
ever, do not believe this will be necessary.
