SALE OF LAND APPROVED.
Appeal Noted, However, Which May
Delay the Transfer.

Justice Anderson, in Equity Court No. l.,
today approved the action q Andrew A..
Lipscomb and John p. Earnest, trustees, in
agreeing to sell the "Thorptou tract" to the
Seventh Day Adventistss for cents a
square foot The tract consists of nearly
five acres, about one-half of lying within
the District of Columbia and the remainder
in the corporate limits Of Takoma Park
Nd, just across the District ltne, and Is on
Carroll avenue between Willow and Laurel
avenues. rr1
Heirs of the Thornton ESTATE, who are
said to represent five-sixths interest in
the tract mentioned. entered objection to
the sale of the land for cents a foot,
claiming that 1t should command at least
10 cents foot. The matter was argued at
length about ten days ago. Justice Ander-
son. as stated, today announced that he
considered cents a foot a good price for
the land, and the court therefore approved
the action Of the trustees in agreeing to
sell 1t to the Seventh Day Adventists at
that figure.
1t Is said that the ruling of the court will
be practically nullified by an appeal there
from, which was noted In open court by
counsel Tor the heirs. The matter may be
kept in litigation for several years, 1t is
pointed out, and the Seventh Day Ad-
ventists will probably not wait that long
for the tract, but 1t is said to be likely,
will buy other property.
Attorney ]. p. Earnest appeared for the
trustees and Attorneys Lambert & Baker
for the heirs.
