Must Have Detail Map.

1T will be necessary for the Department
Of Justice to have all the details of the
parcels of land to be acquired before pro-
ceeding with the condemnation proceed
ings. AS soon as they have this map of
details the officials of the Department of
Justice will go into court and ask for the
appointment of a condemnation commits
sion, and that commission, when appoint
eds will sit from time to time to hear
property owners whose land is to be
taken.
District Surveyor Hazen, who will have
charge OF making the detail map. said to-
day that his staff must now set to work
to make a survey of every parcel of land
TO be taken, giving description and the
area Of each parcel.
This work will take the District sur
veyors staff four or five months to COM
plete. Mr.. Hazen said that he has not
sufficient force at present for the work,
but in view OF its great Importance he
will put on several extra men, and finish
1t as soon as possible.
The work OF preparing this map, he
said, Will be exactly similar to that done
by him for the Department of Justice
in the case of the twelve squares of land
condemned near Union station. and the
whole procedure of acquiring the land for
the park connections will be similar. The
present task, however, he said, is a larg-
er one for the reason that in the case Of
the Union station land most of the areas
had already been plotted. while in this
case there are many unknown" par
cells, some of 1t what is known as "agi-
cultural ground, only part of which In
