EIGHT PARKWAY LAND CASES ARE SETTLED Brick Dwellings of Property to Be Razed in Spring to Make Way for Federal Improvements. $507, Settlement has been reached on eight more parcels of land in Rock Creek and Potomac Parkway—prop- erty taken over by the Government. ‘The latest accessions are the premises 1311, 1313, 1315, 1317, 1319 and 1321 ‘Twenty-fourth street, and 2518 and 2450 P street. There are brick dwell- ings now on this property, but they ‘will be allowed to remain until Spring, ‘when they will be razed to make way for the park improvements. Cases involving several parcels are still pending, and the owners do not seem inclined to take what the Gov- ernment negotiators call a reasonable price. If the question of price cannot be satisfactorily adjusted directly be- tween the owners and the Parkway Commission officials, then the matter will be referred to the Attorney Gen- eral of the United States for the insti- tution of condem@ation proceedings. Some of this property is in the tri- angle formed by Rock Creek, M street and Pennsylvania avenue; other lots on the east bank of Rock Creek be- tween Pennsylvania avenue and L street and several other pieces on the south side of P street.
