JOHNSON PLAZA PLAN
PASSES LOWER HOUSE
Representative Post Objects to Paying
So Much for Propery-Plan Will
Go TO Conference.
Go to Conference.

After many delays the resolution of
Representative Ben Johnson for the pay
ment OF the plaza awards passed the
House yesterday by a vote OF 30 to II
oyer the resolution of Representative
Post, of Ohio. It now goes TO the Sen
ate, but Fince that body has already
adopted a measure on the subject a con-
ference will be necessary.
Representative Post pointed out dur
ing the debate that since the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad has owned their por-
ton Of the plaza property for nearly 10
years, they Will receive, according to the
johnson resolution, N.64o.0oo, which is
several thousand dollars more than the
awards to which Johnson protested.
Representative Posts resolution calls
fo- the appointment Of commission to
consist Of the Assistant Attorney General,
the officer In charge OF public grounds
and buildings, and the superintendent OF
the Capitol buildings and grounds, who
would acquire, by purchase or con-
demnation, the plaza property. His
measure provides the price shall not
exceed the amount Of the award made
in the first instance.
Johnsons resolution calls for the ap-
pointment of three men by the Presi-
dent, who shall; buy up at fair market
rrice the disputed property. The john
son measure states positively that the
Baltimore and Ohio property shall be
purchased at the actual original cost plus
6 DER cent frcm the date Of purchase by
the railroad company. It was to this
clause that Representative Post objected.

would do well TO follow.
