Proceedings for Condemnation Of Land
at Zoo Park

The condemnation of the land necessary
for the opening of the proposed new nigh
WAYS along the east and west boundaries
of the Geological Park will be commenced
within a short time. Mr.. w. P. Richards,
assistant engineer of the District. who had
direct charge of this matter. has finished
the preparation of the plans for the two
roads, and has asked that the auditor Sc
cure certificates of title to the land winch
1t will be necessary to condemn. Within
a few days the corporation counsel Will be
asked to begin the condemnation proceed
ings.
The construction of these two roads was
authorized by the last Congress. The road
on the west side of the park will be about
2,O00 feet long and 80 feet wide. and It
will connect Klingle road with Cathedral
avenue. This road, 1t Is estimated. Will
cost about $4,000. as the. land through
which the highway is to run has not as
yet been subdivided The road along the
eastern boundary of the park will be about
1,5O0 feet long by SO feet wide, and 1t Will
connect Park road with Adams Mill road.
The expense connected with opening TINS TINS
highway will be about $4,000. as 1t Will
pass through subdiytded land, and tn,rty
separate parcels of land will be affected
Congress authorized the Commissioners
to condemn the land necessary for the
opening of the two roads, and to expenu
the money required for this purpose, It
having been estimated that SoO,0OO would
be required for the opening or the Two
highways 1t is stated that it is the In
tention of the government to acquire in the
future the lots lying between the present
line of the park and the road on the
eastern boundary and to extend the park
to the road When this is done and the
two proposed roads are constructed the
Geological Park will be inclosed by the
Park and klingle roads, Cathedral avenue
ba tun ip
The whole cost of the opening of the
roads, above the assessments for dement's
against the property, is to be borne by the
District of Columbia. The law PROVIDES
that the iury of condemnation shall assess
benefits against abutting property, ana
leaves the rate of assessment to the 1uds-
ment of the jury. Under the law the con,
domination proceedings must be commeheeo
within six months after the approval of
the act, which fixes the limit of time at the
18th of October.
