PROPERTY SOUGHT

Takoma Boundary Associa.
tion Urges Donations of
Necessary Land.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


TAKOMA PARK, Md, November
16.-The Takoma Park Boundary Citi-
zens' Association, in its efforts to
obtain widening and paving of Eastern
avenue within the District, is seeking
the dedication of necessary land. The
portion of this thoroughfare on the
Maryland side is receiving attention
of Maryland officials in order that
the improvement may be made at
the same time.
OfdcialS of the association have
been advised by the director of the
Highway Department and surveyor
of the District that in the event the
abutting property owners are willing
to dedicate a width of rs feet plus
building restriction line of Is feet, 1t
would then be unnecessary for the
District to consider condemnation of
the street on a 90-foot basis.
There are two buildings on Eastern
avenue directly in the line Of the
street which must be moved.
The association has been further in
formed that in the event the neces-
Sary dedications we're Forthcoming, the
District Commissioners would under
take to provide a surfaced roadway
with a sidewalk approach within one
years time. If abutting property
owners are unwilling to dedicate prop
erty, officials of the association Say
this section of Takoma Park cannot
hope to secure the improvement eX-
cept through condemnation. with re-
sulting benefit assessments against
any property which jury may find
benefited. Condemnation would re-
suit in postponing of the improve
ment for some time.
At the next meeting of the associa-
ton, on December 4, in the Takoma
Public Library, L. r. Grabill, for many
years superintendent of Suburban
Highways of the District of Colum-
bia, will be the guest speaker and
will outline in detail facts concerning
this improvement. Officials report
that there are % parcels Of land
involved, that the approximate length
Of the highway would be 5000 feet
and the estimated cost would be ap-
proximately $50,000.
