THE COURTS.

From the viewpoint Of the public the
most important action of the District Su-
preme Court during the year just closed
was it is believed, the ratification by JUS
tice Stafford Of the award Of the commits
sion fixing the value of property In the
five squares lying south of Pennsylvania
avenue between 18th and 18th streets at
S., AS, 600 This price, 1000 below the
apppr opriat ton. also met the approval of
President Taft, who recently certified to
the court his opinion that the public in
terest required the acquisition of the
property for the use of the Department
of State, Justice and Commerce and
Labor.
Although only seventy-five persons are
financially interested in the property
taken, the entire public expect to benefit
by the acquisition of this property, since
it is looked on as the entering wedge in
the purchase Of all the land on the south
side of Pennsylvania avenue from the
Capitol to the Treasury.
To the lawyer the feature of the year
was the adoption by the court of its new
eled on the suggestion of President Taft
for the expedition of litigation and abound
III time-saving innovations.
