ROAD JURY AWARDS
IN THE NORTHEAST
DISTRICT OF CITY
kensington and Lehigh Ave
nue. Changes of Grade Due
to Abolition of Railroad
Crossings.

In a report filed this month Horace
Yardley, William r. Dougherty and James
Johnson, viewers, awarded damages
caused by the change of grade in the
abolition of grade crossings on line Of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company, Richmond Branch, as affecting
the following streets:
kensington avenue, between Harold and
Boudinot streets; Lehigh avenue, between
Jasper and streets; Oakdale and AL
bert streets, between Kcnsington avenue
and Jasper street; Tusculum street, be-
tween Kensngton avenue and Ruth
street and Potter street between Lehigh
avenue and Huntingdon street.
The change of grade of Kensington ave-
nue. at Lehigh avenue was approximately
eight feet six inches on the south side
and ten feet on the north side; the grades
of all intersecting streets being adjusted
to conform to this grade. 1t ran out at
26OS kensngton avenue to the south and
at 2I45 kensington avenue to the north.
DAMAGES CAREFULLY CONSID-
Erred.
The viewers in making awards took
into consideration that the physical work
was begun during the years 1919 and 1913
and the delay incident thereto also that
in making excavations rock was found
in many instances and had not been pro-
vided for in owners testimony This, of
course, doubled the cost of excavatng in
adjusting the properties to new condi-
tions.

award seems as fair 10 both sides as
may be. when IL is considered that loss

be regarded as such,

in change of grade from one-eighth of

line to zero on the other. one claim
was that of a tenant who had yearly

done in the best way possible by the

If there is such thing in the

press, that one publication is "The

being nauseated by some of those
southern Pacific subsidized sheets.
Barry represents the old free fress
of the United States which has some
how managed to live on since the
days of Ben Franklin. There is un-
doubtedly a future in store for this
brilliant man, and one need not be
surprised at any near time to read
that he has been called by Wilson
into the larger councils of an admin
istration which is looking for just such
fearless Democrats.

a convincing argument that they We're

What terrible things does the grand

be so much suspicion directed toward
the judicial officers of the district

judgment in some cases.
And now, while these disclosures I'M

there is not the remotest intimation
