PROTEST ENTERED
AGAINST JURY FINDING

The contemplated extension of Rhode
Island Avenue from Florida TO lie Droit
Avenues has given rise to much dissen-
sion among interested property owners
In that locality. and Thomas @. Hensey
has addressed a letter to the Commits
sioners in which he declares that the
assessments levied were unjust because
the jury IN the matter was composed of
inexperienced men. not a real estate
man being impaneled.
Mr.. Hensey says he cannot believe
that the Commissioners are disposed to
withhold approval OF a bill which was
framed In the District building FOR the
purpose OF rectifying an act OF Congress.
which. in its operation, amounts to the
conhscation Of the land of over fifty
persons, the most OF whom are residents
of the District Of Columbia" Mr.. Hen
sey says he believes the Commissioners
would not have reported adversely on
