Fight Over Property
Delays Construction
OF Miller Junior HiqE

H Construction Of the Miller Junior
High School In Northeast Washing
ton today faced long delay, as q
result Of a squabble between the
District government and former
owners Of the property on which
the school Is to be built.
/ Mrs. Harriette Johnson, 213 Forty
ninth street NE, has filed suit In
District Court asking that the Dis
trict be enjoined from dispossessing
her and that she be allowed to move
the home to another site. In addi-
ton, two similar suits will be filed
by former owners, according to At
torney Leon A. Ransom, who is rep
resenting Mrs. johnson.
Eight Homes on Plot.
The three homes are among eight
located on the plot of land where
the Miller School is to be construct
ed. The school, which will cost more
than $1,800000, has been designed
to relieve crowded, conditions in
the colored schools of the area.
Also named in the suit was the
j. D. Hedin Construction Co., which
has the contract for building the
school.
Work on the school was supposed
to get underway last month, school
oficials said, but the controversy
with Mrs. johnson over details of
her agreement with the District
have put stop to the project.
The suit contends Mrs. johnson
entered into an agreement with the
District in 1941, after the sale OF
her premises by condemnation pro-
ceedings. The suit says she was
assured by the District that she
would be able to buy the house back
for 500 and remove 1t to another
site, If she paid the cost of the
moving.
Charges House Was Sold.
But last fall, Mrs. johnson learned
that the house, a six-room two-story
building, had been sold to the Hedin
Construction Co., according to the
suit. Mrs. johnson had been ordered
to vacate by last Wednesday. She
has been renting the property from
the District since the sale.
Mr.. Ransom explained his client
was ready to 60 through with her
part Of the agreement by moving
the house.

be built faces on Forty ninth street
