Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1947-03-19

When President Truman ordered
the Secretary of War seven months
ago to buy the property at 1873
Chesapeake street S.W., Joseph L.
Bockovac and his wife thought their
troubles were over. Now they're not
so sure.
Last August, the President signed
a bill declaring that the Bockovac's
home was endangered and directing
the Government to purchase it.
An attractive bungalow, it sits on
a hill overlooking Boiling Field and
the Potomac River. Most planes
landing at the field pass directly
over the house, nearly skimming the
rooftop.
Windows rattle as the planes pass
over, and some of the plaster has
been cracked by the vibration. Once,
Mrs. Bockovac was narrowly missed
when an antenna dropped from a
plane.
What the Bockovacs can't under
stand is why, if the house is too
dangerous to live in, it takes the
War Department so long to purchase
It. The trouble, it seems, is in the
price.
The War Department said that
in January it offered the Bockovacs
what it considered fair price
based on appraisals of the house
and property-but that the offer
was turned down. The War Depart
ment declined to disclose the amount
offered.
Mr.: Bockovac said the offer was
refused because it was far below
estimates set by appraisers he re-
tanned to evaluate the property.
A War Department spokesman
ssid today, however, that condem-
nation proceedings have been re-
quested. This means the District

occupies part of the $4,000 square
feet of land behind the home. There,
during the last % years. the Bocko-
vacs have built up profitable bust
ness.
Main products were shrubs and
evergreen plants, but they were in
terspersed with larkspur, delphinium,
lilacs and chrysanthemums.
In season, Mrs. Bockovac fire.

quently worked late at night gath
ering flowers. She sold most of them
to florists, but the Bockovacs were
familiar sights for years at Wash
ington stands.
After they settle with the War
Department, Mrs. Bockovac thinks
they may travel, maybe to Cali
fornia.
