MOTIONS TO SET ASIDE.
Districts Action Affecting Awards in
Street Extension Cases.

Arguments were heard today by Judge
Cox in Equity Court No. l On the motions
fled by the special attorneys for the Dis
trict Commissioners and by counsel for
certain Of the owners of property involved,
to set aside the award of the jury, repor ed
last week, in the matter of the opening Of
10Th street between Florida avenue and
California avenue, according to the plan
for the extension of a permanent extension
of highways in the District of Columbia
and in the matter of the opening Of the
suburban subdivision known as Oak Lawn.
Attorney William BirLey, representing
Mrs. Admiral Quacllenbush, first addressed
the court. giving at some length the rea-
sons Why re thought the award, so far as
it affects the property of Mrs. Quacken-
bush, should be. set aside. He was follow
ed by Attorney A. S. Worthington, repre-
scntinG the owners of the Lansburgh, Dean
and other tracts of land. Mr. Worthngton
asked that the verdict be set aside SO Ear
as 1t affected the Larsburgh tract, bat
that it be allowed to stand so far as it
affects the Dean tract. Although Mrs
Dean considers the award far from salts
factory. said Mr.. Worthington. rather
than have a cloud hanging over the tide
of her property she prefers that the award
should stand.
Attorney Hemphll of counsel for the
Commissioners, argued that as it seem d
likely that part of the awaAd will be set
aside, in view of the concurrence of the
views OF counsel, the best plan would be
to set aside the ward as regards all the
property affected, so that the entire mat
ter could receive consideration a the hands
Of another jury.
Attorney Arthur A. Birney, of counsel
for the Commissioners, explained that he
filed the motions to set aside the award
solely because of desire to see impartial
justice administered between the public
and the citizens The award, declared Mr.
Birney, was outrageous regards the
Lansburgh tract, and without justifca ton
as regards the Dean tract.
Mrs. Dean, added Mr. Birney, was allow
ed by the jury a greater sum for her land
than she paid for ii little more than year
ago and that, too, in view sof the fact
that her remaining property will be great
ly benefited by the opening of the street
The award, Mr.. Brney declared, is nothing
more or less than a donation out of the
public funds to Mrs Dean.
AS to the Lansburgh tract, Mr.. Birney
went on to say, the same objections apply
! as to the Dean tract, though not TO such
an extent, the discrepancy between the YER
diet and the testimony being just as glar-
ing.
Judge Cox took the matter under con-
| sideration, not stating when he will an
| nounce lis ruling.
