Falls Church Resident
Sues Army Engineers

A suit for $3.50 was filed yester-
day in Federal Court at Alexandria
by Ernest A. Kendrick, 300 West
Great Falls street, Falls Church, for
the loss of boat that was allegedly
destroyed by Army engineers.
Papers in the suit state that Mr..
Hendricks cabin cruiser, the Shan
gri-la," valued at So $780, was moored
in the river above the Key Bridge
and on October 16. 1912, was swept
down stream and lodged against the
southern abutment of the temporary
Highway Bridge, constructed and
maintained by the Army District
engineers and extending into Vir-
ginia along the prolongation of
Fourteenth street.
The boat became lodged against
the abutment and Army officers de-
MED Mr.. Kendrick permission to
remove or to secure it, he claimed,
adding that he was only permitted
aboard the craft long enough to
remove personal belongings.
Shortly thereafter the Army de-
termined that the boat was a men,
ace and removed it themselves, de-
stroying and sinking it in the pro-
cess, it is claimed. The plaintiff
| claims that he has made several at
tempts to get the Army to pay for
the damage but has received no
satisfaction.
