MCLEAN OBJECTS TO
LAND VALUATIONS

Edward B. Mclean and the Ameri-
can Security and Trust Company and
Mr.. Mclean in hfs capacity as trus-
tee of the estate OF John r. Mclean,
deceased, this morning filed In the
District Supreme Court forty-three
objections to the confirmation of the
verdict OF the jury which determined
the valuation OF the land taken for
the purpose OF widening Wisconsin
avenue from Garfield street to the
District line. Plaintiff alleges that
the damages awarded by the jury for
some OF the lands thus taken are
less than one-third OF their actual
value, and that the benefits assessed
against plaintiffs property and sup
posed to be derived from the widen
ing OF Wisconsin avenue are unjust,
unreasonable, and all out OF proper
ton to the assessments made upon
other lands in the same vicinity"
Attorney Wilton J. Lambert appears
for Mr.. Mclean.
