Jury of Condem-

NO APPEAL TO BE TAKEN
District Commissioners, Through Counsel,
Announce Their Decision - Damages
Amount to Hundreds of Thousands of
Dollars.

Mr.. Justice Hagncr, holding the District
court, yesterday morning signed the order
nnaily confirming the verdict and award
OF the jury in the Sixteenth Street extern
sion case.
ihe Commissioners through their coun-
sci, City Solicitor Andrew B. Duvau. have
announced that they will not take an ap-
peal from this order.
Late in Signing.
Although the court delivered its opin-
ION nearly three weeks ago. the order was
not signed until yesterday morning be-
cause the attorneys interested had not
come to an agreement as to the form and
pnraseology of the order The practice
heretofore followed in these street ex-
tension cases has been for the court to
sign an order nisi, and at the expiration of
the time named in said order to then pass
an order finally confirming the verdict.
The law in the Sixteenth Street case
was somewhat different from that in the
o,ner proceedings. This law required that
when the District Commissioners first
MED the petition in this case on August
~ isco. that the order should be publish

brief upon the subject. in which they fully
discussed the law and facts and pointed
cut what the effect would be if the YER
dict of the jury was rejected by the Com
missioners.
Subsequently they appeared before the
two committees OF Congress. The Senate
committee authorized the Commissioners
TO accept the award and the House COM
mittee declined to express an opinion
either way.
Motions to Confirm.
They then filed motions in court to con-
firm the verdict and award of the jury,
and the court set aside March 81 as the
day upon which it would dispose OF the
matter upon the exceptions of the Dis
trict of Columbia and the property own
ers and the motion to confirm the verdict.
Counsel for the land owners maintained
that the verdict and award should be
confirmed, while the attorneys for the Dis
trict contcnded that the court should set
aside the verdict.
After considering the matter on April
l the court overruled the exceptions filed
by the land owners as well as those filed
by the District of Columbia, and stated
that it would sign an order confirming the
verdict as a whole.
The attorneys for the District and those
for the property owners were unable to
agree as to the form of the order. The at
torneys fer the District of Columbia con-
tended that it should be only a verdict
nisi, a conditional order, which is only
preliminary confirmation. requiring
subsequent award. The attorneys for the
owners contonded. however, that the
award should be final one.
Matter Disposed Of.
The matter was finally disposed Of by
the court yesterday morning, when it sent
for Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the City Solicitor,
and Mr. R Golden Donaldson, on behalf
of the owners, and passed an order, as
stated, finally confirming the verdict, and
award. If the court had signed an order
nisi, the effect would have been to permit
any enc who thought himself aggrieved.
or the District of Columbia to come in
and again renew their objections to the
award, and thus prolong the matter indefi
nitely.
Counsel for the land owners were ex-
ceedingly anxious to avoid this, and the
effect of the award signed yesterday is to
end the matter. SO far as the court is con-
cerned Nothing remains now to be done
except to have the owners titles cx-
amined, and TO pay them the amount
awarded them by the jury.
