Hasten the Plaza Awards !!

No further time should be lost in put
ting through Congress a resolution or bill
providing for the immediate payment to
the property owners in the Capitol plaza
extension tract Of the money which is
unquestionaby due them and for which
they have been waiting for many months.
The present proposal is to direct the pay
ment without further delay of the awards
in cases beyond dispute and to create a
new commission to recondemn in such
cases as have been challenged on the
score of the propriety of the awards.
This plan. If carried into effect. will re-
lieve the distress of those property own
ers who have already suffered irreparably
through the slowness of the governmental
processes and the really unforgivable
delays which have tied up both their
properties and their money.
This plaza award has reached stage
of veritable scandal in the denial of JUS
tice to innocent owners whose property
was first put under the blight of pro-
spective condemnation and was then ac-
tually taken by the government under
the prescribed procedure with every rea-
son on the part of the owners to believe
that they would receive their compensa-
judicial recourse, these owners have in
many cases lost heavily. They have been
unable to force action, and meanwhile
their property has been virtually taken
from them. They could not sell or rent
their properties. nor could they borrow
money on them. 1t was necessary for
them to look for other homes in the cases
where they occupied their own houses,
and in many instances, lacking capital
to buy. they were compelled to rent. thus
putting themselves to burdensome ex-
pense
II the government acted equitably in
the matter It would undertake to pay
these owners for the losses they have suf-
fered during the virtually needless delay
in the approval Of the awards. These
citizens have an equitable claim for reim-
bursement for the rents and the interest
in which they have been mulcted In con-
ment's own prescribed practice OF con-
demnation. But in view Of the already
prolonged process they are not disposed
now to invite further delay by adding the
complication of demand for such reim-
bursement. 1t would be an act Of simple
justice for Congress, in passing any new
legislation framed to straighten out this
deplorable tangle, to add as a gratuitous
act of equity q paragraph providing for
an adjustment of the rightful claims OF
these owners to compensation for the
losses they have endured through no fault
Of their own.
