Street Extensions.
| The subject of street extensions was more
| or less before the public during a greater
portion of the past year. The principal in
terest, of course, centered in the decision
which was rendered in the United States
| Supreme Court April %, in which 1t was
| held that the street extension law in its
present shape is constitutional and main
| tainable. The former laws directed the
| jury in the condemnation proceedings to
assess one-half the damages as benefits
against the property affected. The present
law, and the one which was upheld by the
court, does not direct the jury in the mat
| ter of its findings. leaving it free to act
on its own judgment. There is a clause in
the law, however. which provides that un-
less the benefits equal one-half the dam
ages the District Commissioners may with
hold their approval of the verdict.
The next item of interest in street exten-
sion matters was the verdict of the jury
of condemnation in the extension and
widening of 10th street. The jury awarded
damages in excess of 100000, while the
benefits assessed amounted to only a frac-
tion above 100000. The District Commits
sioners withheld their approval on the
ground that 1t was evidently the intent of
Congress that verdict should not be ap-
proved unless the benefits were equal to
| one-half the damages. hearing was
granted those interested In the matter and
1t was decided that the Commissioners
should not disapprove the verdict, thus set
H.
should simply withhold approval until the
matter could be placed before Congress
The property owners claim that the verdict
is the only one which could properly be re-
turned. 1t was held by the citizens that the
United States should bear a large propor-
tion of the cost of the extension, as 10th
street would be the national boulevard and
drive to Rock Creek Park, a national reser-
vation 1t was further claimed that the
reason for the heavy damages awarded
was the stipulation that the street should
be 100 feet wide. This width was not need
ed by the property affected. The matter
is still In allegiance.
