The Board of Viewers
Initial steps in the proceedings
which led to the presentation of the
schedule to-day, were taken by the
city less than a year ago when City
Solicitor d. S. Seitz was authorized to
ask the court to appoint viewers. A
board consisting of Attorney Paul G..
Smith, Karl Steward and James d.
SALESMAN were named and directed to
report at September Quarter Sessions.
The board made thorough inspec-
tions and Investigations of the ground
in question, consulted experts, inveSti-
gated sales of property in the neigh
borhood with view to obtaining a
fair and equitable idea of market
values and held innumerable hear
ings when interested property own
ers and disinterested real estate ex-
pertS were examined under oath as to
their opinions of values. In order to
give everybody who might be inter-
ested ample opportunity to be heard,
the board asked for an extension of
time in making its report to court and
was granted until January quarter ses-
sions for the purpose.
