Senate to Clarity Swanson
Act to Fix Damages in

In a letter received by the

Of the language of the Swanson
resolution directing the Dis
trict Supreme Court to pass
upon the controversy between

the owners of the Mt. Vernon,

railway regarding the compen-
sation, if any, due the company
because of the condemnation
of its terminal at Twelfth and

The Attorney General wrote
that the resolution was not clear
as to whether the Government
admitted a liability or, rather, it
wanted the court to pass upon
both question of liability, if any,
and the amount of damage due.
1t would be unfortunate, Mr..
Mitchell wrote, not to clarity this
point and say just what ques-
ton or questions the District
Court ought to pass upon.
He also suggested that perhaps
some legislative policy should be
expressed as to what amount the
District government should pay
under a possible award.
Meanwhile, however, officials
of the Treasury Department have
