ZIHLMAN MOVES 10 HELP PARKS Offers Bill to Avert Destruc- tion Pending Condemnation Proceedings. Chairman Zihlman of the House Dis- trict committee, who is also a member of the National Capital Park and Plan- nin? Commission, today introduced a hill, which he will urge upon Congress as pressingly important, amending the act of August 30, 1890, to condemnation of land for park pur- poses. The object of this bill is to pre- went the destruction or injury of land selected for park purposes between the time of filing of petition for con- demnation and completion of the con- demnation proceedings, by cutting of trees, grading. filling valleys and streams, constructing costly buildings that will be of no value for park pur- poses and add largely to the cost of | the property. “It seems to be Zihiman. says, ‘‘to preser struction arm; pul'(il( G or park and parkway purposes, !A'l:l(*}:nk has been decided, with the approval of the President, to acquire by condemnation, and it 118 seems desirable to prevent the construction on such property of expen: build- fngs. the result of which construction will be to so increase the value of t_h» property as to prevent s f.fl‘ll\llsl!wn at a reasonable price for this purpose. “It is belleved that the bill to be submitted makes such provision for the protection of the owners a8 to re- move legal objections. Reasons Set Forth. ‘Fhe réasons for the legislation are set forth In & letter from Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd, director of public V] s also ex- 1dings and parks, who is als B ve officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, as follows: “When impo: erty at a D important,” Mr. from de- ible to purchase prop- r(-m:unuble,, :{\ :Lx;] nt of the National Cap! i‘:;lim:nd PlgAning Cm{m‘;lfslnolr:.y lt: ¢ provides” that the land T Pre % condemnation under the provisio of the act of Augu?l :‘! 3 1890 (3¢ 41-:1!."9\;”1;.‘;) ::;«:u‘\; g n this wi require! };:::or“ h‘y the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, and ‘(.. the approval of the President of the Inited States. ? Lt"‘l‘?nder the existing law it is held that during the period from date of filing the petition and the end of thT proceedings, the owners retain ful and unrestricted control of the prop- erty, to do with it exactly as they please. Tt has already occurred that in a vacant site, selected for a vlay- ground, in a section where it was ex- tremely difficuit to find sufficient un- occupied ground for this purpose, where 1t was very urgently needed, the owner, on learning of the desire of the commission, hastened to con- tract for the construction of a large building, the removal of large quan- tities of material to the site and ex- cavate and build foundgtion, with the utmost speed to aveid the taking of the land for this purpose. The result was that these activities so greatly increased the cost of acquisition that the project had to be abandoned, and thus tar it has been fmipossible to provide a_playground anywhere near this location. : “In another instance, the owner is opposed to the taking of the land for playground purposes and he has very seriously threatened the cutting of a very beautiful forest located at the center of an existing parkway, more than half a mile long, and construct- ing about 50 row-houses on this site. In the judgment of the Park and Parkway Commission the result would be most deplorable and such experi- ences should be prevented if it can one in a legal way. z b"‘ldl is believed the proposed bill is so framed that it meets all legal ob- Jections. Prohibits Tree Cutting. “It provides (1) that on filing the petition, the possession and control of the property passes to the director of public buildings and public parks, who is alsy executive officer of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. It prohibits cutting of trees or grading or construction of buildings on that property pending the termination of the condemnation relative | valuable | Tallest Nobleman to Become of Age on Christmas Day By the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, Ohio. December 21, | —The $25,000 verdict recently award- {ed State Senator George H. Bender | for a lignor id on his home was set | aside yesterday by Judge Fred H. Wolfe on the ground the jury had been influenced by its indignation for some ‘“‘crooked” dr; raiders in this city and county. A new trial was ordered. The defendant in Bender's suit was W. J. Patrick, State prohibition in- spector. Judge Wolfe said Patrick had been held up as a “dry raider. which term, under conditions such as exist here, justly merits some oppro brium.” No liquor was found in the Bender home when raided, this being the basis for the suit.
