10TH STREET EXTENSION. :.
Court Asked to Ratify Verdict Of thu
Assessors

Special Attorney Sinclair has filed mo-
ton in the Supreme Court of the District
asking the court to ratify the verdict Of
the jury assessing damages and benefits in
connection with the extension Of 10th street.
from Woodley road to Baltimore street,
which was reported to the court last May.
The damages awarded by the jury for the
ground to be condemned for the extension
aggregate $16.s62.79. and the total amount
assessed against adjacent property, as ben
ef1ts, Is 17,42557, which represents the
damages awarded and the costs and ex-
penses of the proceedings.
Mr.. Sinclair will call up his motion to
confirm the verdict before Justice Barnard
Friday afternoon next at l O'Clock 1t is
expected that there will be a legal con-
troversy over the question Of the ratifica-
ton Of the verdict, as several landowners
have filed exceptions to 1t, asserting that
the awards in so far as they are concerned
are unjust. 1t is understood that the ma
jority of the landowners affected by the
verdict are satisfied, and by their attor-
neys will unite in the request Of the at
torney representing the government for Its
confirmation.
The condemnation jury was composed of
Messrs John E. Herrell. George w. Moss,
Frederick w. Pilling, John A. Hamilton,
John Mitchell, Nicholas H. Shea and
Thomas Gordon.
The proceedings for the street opening
were Instituted by the District Commits
sioners pursuant to the provisions of an
act of Congress approved March g. 1905, en-
titled IAN act for the extension of 10Th
street from Woodley road to Baltimore

ing his or her death. and will donate in

his life. not exceeding $500.
About 10000 men and women, statesmen
and other employees in practically every i'm
portant city in the United States. it is stat
ed. are included, SO that there is hardly a
town in he entire country that does not
contain a family who will be benefited by
the action.
1t is explained that the directors of the
company considered the establishing of the
fund for long time, after they had learned
that the employees were paying thousands
Of dollars every year for insurance. In con-
nection with the fund the employees are not
required to contribute one cent toward It.;
all they have to do is to send in the name
of the beneficiary to whom the bounty Is to
be paid.

York. Baltimore, Richmond, Danville, New
port News, South Boston. Va; Durham,

PAY DAY OCTOBER 9
SCHOOL TEACHERS TO RECEIVE
CHECKS TUESDAY.

The great army of public school teachers
will receive their first months pay of the
present school session next Tuesday, Octo-
Der o. This statement was made last even
ing by Mr.. Charles c. Rogers. disbursing
officer OF the District Of Columbia, and
Mr.. Rogers and his corps Of assistants, to-
gether with the staff Of Auditor Garrison
nine men in all-will labor nights and
overtime to verify the lists and prepare the
checks for the teachers. AS a matter Of
fact the clerical force worked on the rolls
nearly all Of last night.
1t was at first predicted that the school
pay roll would be ready for the disburse-
ment October 10, the date on which the
first monthly payment was made last year,
but the prompt decision Of mooted ques-
tions by Controller Tracewell of the Treas
ury Department and the activity Of the
District officials will result in bringing the
teachers their money a full twenty-four
hours sooner than was anticipated. .,
To get this great pay roll out in time
at command means that hercu,ean task
will be completed by the disbursing officer
and the auditor on record time, for each
separate voucher must be handled and
verified four different times. Added to
this, Discussing Officer Rogers and Auditor
Garrison must personally sign each Of the
checks. and of these significant bits of
paper there will be between 1900 and
Loco.
After the necessary delay of this first
month, which 1t was thought would be even
greater this year on account of the numer-
Gus problems incident to carrying the new
school reorganization act and its changes
and promotions into effect. the great ma
chinery of the District financial depart
ments will work smoothly and quickly, and
1t is promised that the school force will
receive their salaries just as promptly as do
the employees of other departments.
