TRACK TO NAVY YARD
CONSIDERED IN REPORT
Solicitor of Navy Department
Issues Annual State
ment.
Questions Relating to Naval OBJ
servatory Circle Lands Also
Discussed.

Questions relating to the Naval Obser-
vatory Circle lands on Massachusetts,
avenue, and the branch railroad to the
Washington navy yard are considered
by. Graham Egerton, solicitor of the
Navy Department, in his annual report
The matter of the construction of a
branch railroad track to the Washington
navy yard from the Pennsylvania road
on the east as provided for by the act
of June "a. 1910" the solicitor says, "has
not been settled. The title to the several
tracts of land over which the track was
to be run. according to the plan that
was under consideration at this time
last year, has not yet been determined
and an adjustment of the question. which
is now pending in court, may not be
effected for some time. It is believed
that the prospects are very good of es-
tablshing the governments ownership
of most. if not, indeed, of all, the lands
required for the track and the switch
yard
'Thc agreement provided for by the
authorizing act mentioned above has not
been made with the railroad company,
owing to the unsettled conditions exist
ing. but the company is ready to do Its
part whenever the status of the govern
1nent's title to the lands will permit.
I'm the meantime consideration is be-
ing given to the question as to whether
1t might not be preferable to have the
branch track approach the yard from
the other, the west side. Such a plan
is believed to have some important ad-
vantages over the other. and might prove
the better. taken whole, but the
adoption of it would require further leg
islation by the Congress, and, no doubt
involve some delay on that account IL
is expected that the departments prefer
ence will be determined at an early date
Effort Since 1894.
With respect to the Observatory Circle
lands, the solicitor says:
Ever since 1894, when the Observatory
Circle was established by law around the
buildings then recently erected OH the
present observatory site, the department
has been trying to acquire, as authorized
by the law. possession of the included
lands at that time in private ownership.
Several years ago the last tract but one
was bought. leaving only Normanstone.
about an acre and three-quarters in ex-
tent to be taken over. The department
was unable for a long time to agree with
the owners upon price for that tract,
but a settlement seems now to be within
reach.s
According to- the plan contemplated
the owners are to transfer Normanstone
to the government and receive as com
pensation therefor a piece of government
land just outside the circle, containing
about four-tifths of an acre, exclusive of
the part to be dedicated by them for the
