Open criticism of the present sys tem of condemnation broke forth at the last session of Congress in hear- ings on the same bill, sponsored I the Park and Planning Commission. 3ut now that the real estate purchase problem ot the Fede and District governments is expanding to hug proportions, the most critical study is being given in many quarters. The bill is under sharp scrutiny by the T 3 sartment, the De- partment of Justice, the District Com estate re loomed ng with one y this objections, sev- indicated they nt to register their criticism of the present system in no uncertain terms when the opportunity presents obably in hearings on the bill. The : introduced in the new Chadrman Capper and Senate and House Dis officials today Congress Zihlman of th trict committ . Briefly, the new bLill would away the present system, place a new justice vn the bench of the Suprem Court of the District of Columbia to give attention to condemnation mat- ters and aunthorize bim_to hear all condemnation cuses directly, unless a jury were demanded. In case u jury were chosen to sit with the judie in court, under the practice of all uc- tions at law, no real estate man would be allowed to sit on that jury. Allowed to Testify. District nssessor, who as o witness before demnation jury, would be under the bill to testify. would also allow the ernment to take quick title by paying over a_per- centage of the estimated value of the property, the remainder to be trans ferred at the conclusion of proced ings, when the total value was fixed. The bill as drawn would not change the procedure for purchase by the District government. Crities of the present system feel there are many flaws in the system which ghould be corrected, but it ix known that the bill in its present form does not meet the views of all officials who are directly concerned, Judging from a survey of opinion fn many quarters which have been in close toueh with the situation, the demand will be general at the hear- ings for somn changes In the pro cedure, but - differences of opinion probably wil develop over important point sweep cannot a con- allowed The bill hed to the po determined be fore long by the District Commission- ers, who are carrying forward 0ol building program.
