Up For Discussion
It is this plan which will be
discussed the latter part of the
week by the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Although it has already been ap-
proved by that body, washington
motorists are hopeful that recon-
mendations will be made that
work be started Immediately.
This would afford immediate
elimination of the congestion on
F Street, between Seventh and
Ninth Streets, and would provide
two-way traffic lanes for automo-
biles.
District officials, including Capt.
H. c. Whitehurst, director of the
Highway Department. are hopeful
that after this improvement is
made plans can be made for the
removal of the steps on the south
entrance tc the old Patent Office
Building.
Removal of these steps and a
general revamping of the facade
of the building would allow space
for an increase in width of 10 feet
in the roadway. It would also re-
suit in Identification Of the Sec
ton and would, according to Cap
tain Whitehurst, give Washington
residents an ideal solution to the
traffic congestion on F Street.

.ARDMAN SALE
WINS APPEALS
COURT D. k.
Majority Opinion UNFOLDING
Foreclosure Deal Called
'Makeshift' by Minority

Handing down a unique major
ity opinion, the District Court of
Appeals today conditionally upheld
the foreclosure sale of the Ward.
man properties, in which $11 ,000,'
900 in bonds were issued and sold
to the public.
The properties comprise the
Wardman Park. Carlton, an d
Chastleton Hotels, the north and
center Cathedral Mansions, the
Boulevard Apartments, Stoneleigh
Court, the old Department of JUS
tice Building and 2700 Connecti-
cut Ave. N. w.
Refinanced in 1928
Constructed at a cost of $780,
100000, the buildings were refin-
anced in 1928 by Halsey. Stuart
& Co., Inc, and Hambleton & Co.,
of New York.
In the refinancing, $1,000, 900
in bonds were sold. The refinanc-
ing mortgage covered all the prop
critics, but some were previously
encumbered by $4,000,000. When
the Wardman Real Estate Prop
critics, Inc, was unable to meet
interest payments in 1881, fore
closure proceedings were insti-
tuted.
Following a bitterly contested
trial, the District Supreme Court
decreed the foreclosure sale and
the properties were purchased for
$2,800,000 by a representative OF
the bondholders' committee, who
agreed to undertake the $4,000, 900
prior mortgages.
Fraud Taint Alleged
Principal objections to the sale
came from nondepositing bond
holders, who claimed the sale was
tainted with fraud and that the
New York banking houses domi-
mated the protective committee
to such an extent that it was not
possible to obtain the best bid
for the properties.
The conditional decree of the
appellate courts majority opinion
gave the nondepositing bond
holders 80 days in which to af-
ford themselves an opportunity
of obtaining an equal kvel with
bondholders sharing in the sale.
In a dissenting opinion, JUS
tices Lawrence D. Groner and
William Hitz termed the condi-
tional opinion a mere make
shift" and stated it was clear
the decree of sale imposed con-
ditions which inevitably tended
to throttle bidding and depre-
ciate the value of the properties"

'CH|SEL|NG'
Com mi S SionerS' Statement
That Some Is Inevitable
May Raise Issue
BY LOUIS E. WHYTE

The District officials position
that "some chiseling is to be ex-
pected" in the distribution Of re-
lief probably will be an issue dur
ing the coming session of Con-
gress. =
This was indicated today in OBJ
servations voiced by Senator Ger
aid P. Nye (R) of North Dakota.
ranking minority member Of the
Senate District Appropriations
subcommittee, which must ap-
prove the expenditures made for
relief in the District each year.
Check Urged
When the relief item was before
the subcommittee last year the
suggestion was made by some in
authority that a thorough check
up should be made here in order
to determine just how much
should be appropriated.
In the rush of things at the
time, however, the inquiry was
not made beyond the point Of
asking those who furnished the
estimates to explain their needs.
With the current charges being
made that there has been gross
"chiseling" on the part Of those
on the local relief rolls, more in
terest is expected in this item
next year.
District officials to date have
countered when presented with
the charges that it is only natural
to expect that some chiseling will
be done. They say that it is i'm
possible to investigate every case,
and that they believe the local re-
lief heads are doing a creditable
job.
Nye Scans Charge
Asked today if he had seen the
charges which have been carried
in the press, Senator Nye said
that he had given them cursory
attention, his time being taken up
nearly entirely by the investiga-
ton Of munitions manufacturers.
He added:
"When we take up the Dis
trict appropriations bill next
year, it will be the duty of Con-
greSS to know what the facts
are in this case before any new
appropriations for relief are
made.
81 cannot say now that I will
institute an investigation into
the matter personally, as I am
too busy with other matters, but
I expect that the matter will be
very thoroughly thrashel out
by the committee when it con-.
siders the new appropriations
bills"
