Title to these lands was given to the
purchasers by the government.
About q year after the passage or
the act by Congress the original
proprietors of the lands which con.
stituted the city of Washington con-
George and John NJ. CAN'T, as trus-
tees to hold and make division with
the government.
Work OF Mai. L'Enfant.
The work Of Mai. Pierre Charles
LEnfant. a French engineer. in lay.
ing out the city streets, was noted
by Mr.. Simmons. He recalled also that
some trouble ensued with Maj. Len.
FAINT regarding his compensation for
laying out of the city. President
Washington wanted to pay him $2.500
or $4,000 for the work. but Congress
finally appropriated s666.66. with in.
terest.
After the general division Of the
lands between the United States gov.
ernment and the original land own.
ers, Mr. Simmons said, the government
later sold 1000 or 5000 lots, many OF
which were purchased by Robert Nor.
ris and John Nicholson. Some of these
lots were sold by the government. he
said. by lottery scheme.
Mr. Simmons has old maps show
ing the original lands ceded to the
District, the original boundary lines
OF ten miles square and the rivers
about the District. 1t is noted on ond
map that Analostan Island was at that
,taHe pointed out that Daniel Car.
roll OF fRuddingtons was one Of the
principal land owners. His property
occupied that section Of the city on
which the Capitol is now located.
Dayid Burnes Property.
David Burnes, another big land
owner, had his property in the vicin-
tty of 18th street, part Of which was
included In the present White House
grounds and running over to HAM
burgh. This property extended east
ward to the vicinity of 7th street
northwest.
The land owned by Motley Young
was in that section Of the city to the
south and southeast Of the Burns
property, and lying along the Po-
tomac river and st. James Creek,
The other property owners did not
hold as large tracts as those men
toned. Mr.. Simmons pointed out.
Robert Peter, who was at that time
resident of Georgetown, was the
owner Of land which is now consid-
Of property in the District. II EN-
ent Massachusetts and Connecticut
avenues, besides his holdings that
were in the eastern part of the city.
The subsequent sale Of the lands
by the original holders and their heirs
has brought the titles to the lands
Of the District down to the present-
day owners. said Mr.. Simmons. He
declared they could not be claimed
by others by the simple fling Of pat.
ents with the commissioner Of lands,
as titles were given by the govern.
ment to these lands.

Apropos Of the recent filing Of
claims to land in Washington under
the general land law, it is pointed out
by Leo Simmons. who has made de-
tail study Of land titles in the District
Of Columbia, that the titles to land in
what was the original city OF Wash
tngton-with Florida avenue as a
boundAry-go back to deeds given by
the authority of the United States.
ANY one contemplating filing claim
to any land in the District ought to
be careful that he does not fall under
the ban Of section S45-a of the District
code, suggests NJ. Simmons.
The section provides: Whoever.
having no title or color Of title to the
land affected. shall nialiciously. cause
to be recorded in the office of the
recorder Of deeds of the District OF
Columbia any deed, contract or other
instrument purporting to convey or to
relate to any land in said District.
with intent to extort money or any,
thing of value from any person own
ing such land or having any interest
therein, shall be fined not less than
$500 or imprisoned not more than two
years, or both" This act was passed
by Congress June 30. 1902.
Act of 1880 Providing District.
Reviewing the history Of land titles
IN the District, Mr.. Simmons first
points out that Congress passed an
act which was approved by President
Washington July 16. 1870, providing
for O district or territory. not to
exceed ten miles square, on the
Potomac river. between the mouth of
the eastern branch Of that river and
Of the Connogocheague, which would
be the permanent seat of the United
States government.
President Washington accordingly
appointed a commission which was to
take over such land as was needed by
the government for public buildings
and streets. This commission con-
sisted of Thomas Johnson and Daniel
Carroll of Maryland ana David Stuart
Of Virginia.
Mr.. simmons pointed out that the
boundary line Of the District, which
was placed as ten miles square, took
in Q portion of Alexandria. Later. he
said. this was reduced to six miles
square.
He called attention that in this ter
ritory were two tracts that had been
