Such cession would not_affect Federal ownership of the land or Federal sovereignty over the Potomac River. The bill in question authorizes the sale of the land to its present tenant, the Virginia Shipbuilding Co., for $70,- 400, an option price fixed in the rent agreement of December 1, 1917. The Secretary said that such was consid- cred a fair value of the property at the date given, but due to extensive improvements made since then the value of the property has been greatly enhanced and at present is estimated at $372,560. “In my nd atta shor opinion,” says Secretary 0.000 does not adequately represent the value of the land, and as the essential object of the bill is to authorize its sale at that price, T do not recommend favorable consider- ation of the measure by Congress.” ESSAY PRIZES AWARDED.
