REPORT URGES QUICK ACTION

Changing at the last minute the per-

Buildings and Grounds Committee of the
House, yesterday filed its report. As
designed in the report, prepared by Rep
resentative Washington Logue. of Phil
adelphia, the commission will comprise
Senator Swanson and Representative
Frank Clark, OF Florida, chairmen, re-
spectively. of the Public Buildings Com
mittees of the Senate and House, and
Elliott Woods, superintendent Of Capitol
Buildings and Grounds.
Telling of the necessity for quick ac-
ton in the plaza awards case, Mr.
Logue's report says:
"A condition exists, therefore, for
which relief should be afforded. Many
owners of small properties are distributed
in their holdings. The passage of prev
ious acts of Congress stating the inten-
ton to take the lands renders their
tenure uncertain.
THE present substitute resolution pro-
vides for q commission consisting Of the
chairman of the Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee of the Senate, the
chairman of the Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee of the House and the
of the Capitol Buildings
and Grounds. The purpose of this COM
mission is to enable the lands the sub
ject of the previous proceeding to be
acquired either by purchase or condemna-
ton.
The power conferred upon the COM
mission enables it to deal quickly with
the property owners who are willing to
convey 10 the government at a price not
exceeding the value placed upon this
property by a jury of view. For such
property the commission cannot acquire
at a figure not exceeding that fixed by
the Jury of view the commission is au-
thorized to commence condemnation pro-
ceedings."
Recognizing the rights of the small
owners to relief from this sit
uation, the report continues:
The committee. after a careful consid
GRAFTON of the entire matter, is of the
opinion that the interests of the public
in a great development heretofore de-
termined upon warrants that title to the
property in question shall be acquired
at as early date as possible.
