Part Of Project.
Plaintiffs in the case are Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas c. Bullock,
who live in the building at 812
Fourth street S.W.
In a suit for injunction and
declaratory Judgment. the cou-
pie contends the land agency
seized their property through a
declaration Of taking. form of

Area B project.
The plan is, they said, to raze
the area bounding their property
to set UP a shopping center.
The land agency is willing to
pay the Bullocks $4,000 for the
property.
The Redevelopment Act docs
not authorize the taking Of sub
stantial business property by
eminent domain for the purpose
OF leasing same to others for re-
development purposes while the
owners are willing to make such
improvements as may be neces-
sary to conform their property
to the general redevelopment
plan." attorneys for the Bullocks
contended.
Would Await Decision.
II the act does allow this. they
said. it is unconstitutional. At
any rate. they contend the
seizure should be neld up pending
outcome of a case now in the
Supreme Court testing the
constitutionality of the Re-
development Act as it is being
applied
The Bullocks are represented
by Attorneys James c. Toomey,
