GaIIinger Condemnation Measure
Declared Unnecessary in Report.

"A backward step" Such is the char
acterization which the Commissioner:
gave the Gallinger bill TO prevent them
from condemning land for streets until
after an appropriation by Congress in
their report to the Disctrict committee
on the bill.
The Commissioners say there are ad-
dItional reasons Why. in certain cases
they should be allowed to condemn be-
fore an appropriation is made. among
them being that it is sometimes advan-
tageous for the District to acquire be-
fore land values enhance.
The Commissioners further say the re-
strictions imposed by this bill would in
some cases infiict hardhip rather than
benefit The Commissioners say they sell
dom condemn property until they are
prepared to go ahead win the projected
Improvement.
