Federal Lay-offs Reflected
In Job Applications Here

Federal layoffs are being reflected
in job applications in the District
government.
Victor A. Howard, personnel off,
cial, said yesterday 275 applications
for jobs in the District service have
come in during the past two months
About the same numer applied at
this time last year. he added, but
most of them were veterans. He
believes the current crop stems
largely from discharged Federal
personnel
Since many District departments
take applications for jobs directly,
Mr.. Howard added, the number
probably is greater than those filed
at the personnel Office.

lowing the collision, but when he

VAAsks Filing
OF Neviius. Tract
Condemnation
Action Due Tomorro,
To Acquire Site for
Veteruns' Hospital

The Veterans Administration has
asked the Attorney General to file
condemnation papers for purchase
Of the Nevius tract in Arlington as
the site of Washington's proposed
veterans hospital and the action
probably will be taken tomorrow, 1t
was learned today.
Oficials Of the agency made the
request yesterday, after Veterans
Administrator Bradley approved
plans to acquire about % acres Of
the 25-acre tract.
The property is southwest of the
intersection of Lee boulevard and
Arlington Ridge road-just north of
Arlington Cemetery.
A. Dewitt Vanesh, Assistant At
torney General in charge of land,
said the condemnation papers will
be sent within the next two days to
Harry Holt, jr., United States At
torney for the Eastern District at
Richmond.
May Go to Jury.
As soon as the Veterans Admins
tration furnishes check for $3.50, 1927
Government-appraised value of the
land-the agency can get possession
Of it, he explained.
The appraised value will be offered
to owners of the land, who earlier
refused to sell at that price. If they
contest the condemnation, a jury
trial will be held to determine a
definite price. Such a trial, the
Justice Department said, would be
held at the District Court in Alex
andria.
Listed as principal owners of the
land were A. M. Neyius, retired vice
president of Riggs National Bank,
As per cent; Clarence o. Sheriff. of
Cincinnati. 41.66 per cent, and Will
lard A, Holbrook, jr., of Washing
ton, 6.66 per cent.
Architects Plans Ready.
The action climaxes a three
month campaign to get the tract
choice of the Veterans Administra-
ton for the proposed 750-bed hos
pital. Off1cials decided on the
property because of its attractive
location and accessibility from
Washington medical centers.
Condemnation proceedings have
been held up because of a small
county-owned strip of land in the
western part of the tract. County
officials, who will keep possession of
the strip, plan to use it for a high
way which would run directly past
the hospital The Veterans Admin
istrstion said another small strip
of land near the western boundary
of the property will be left to the
owners.
Architects plans for the modern
hospital have been completed and
construction bids for the institution
are expected to be taken in about
six months.
