SINCLAIR SENDS
RESIGNATION TO
COMMISSIONERS
Special Counsel for the Dis
trict Gives Up His
Place.

A Leftwich Sinclair, special counsel
for the District, today Submitted his
resignation to the Commissioners, I'd
take effect November l. Mr.. Sinclair
will devote his entire time to his pri-
vate practice. Since 1905 he has been
engaged in the work of the appraise-
,ment OF damages TO real estate by
reason of the changes IN the grades Of
streets in connection with the erection
of the new Union Station, and the elimi-
nation of the grade crossings.
The work Is now practically COM
pleted. Mr.. Sinclair's, resignation was
accepted by the Commissioners in a
complimentary letter expressive of ap-
probation of the work he has done, and
of the fact that through his efforts
thousands of dollars have been saved to
the District.
The last report of Mr.. Sinclair shows
that the settlement of grade damages
has cost the District $439, $3.50 up to
June l, the close of the fiscal year. At
the time Of the passage Of the grade
damage act, II was believed that the
damages in the immediate vicinity Of
the Union Station would aggregate
5000, 200.
Later Congress provided for the pay
ment of damages to owners southwest
and southeast whose property bordered
on the Union Station zone. The claims
for damages in all three of the sections
were 100000 less than the original es-
innate for the immediate-vi vicinity of the
Union Station.
Educated In Schools Here.
Mr.. Sinclair was educated in the
Washington public schools and was
graduated from the Georgetown Uni
versity Law School IN 1903. For several
years he served as assistant corporation
counsel of the District, under Corpora
ton Counsel Andrew Brown Duvall,

Trade, the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association, a member of the official
board and vice president of the Mems
Club of the Foundry NJ. z. Church,
