30 REALTY APPRAISAL |3 FIGURES CRITICIZED) Dealers Attacked in Connec- tion With Values in Con- demnation Suits. Real estate agents who testify for property owners in condemnation suits instituted by District authorities for! the purpose of procuring land for need- ed civic developments were criticized by Maj. L. E. Atkins, Assistant En- gineer Commission, in an address be-.| for the Stanton Park Citizens’ Associ- ation in the Peabody School, Fifth and C streets northeast, last night. Maj. Atkins outlined condemnation procedures and declared that it is not unusual for accredited realty dealers to place an appraisal on property from 40 to 75 per cent above actual value or, as in some instances, above the fig- ure which the owner would be willing to accept, and he said that these same agents would not advise their clients to pay anywhere near the price they set on property in condemnation suits. He urged the necessity for an an- nual contingency appropriation of $500,- 000 from Congi2ss to serve as & cure- all for many of the District’s financial needs. He told also of the definite lo- cation of the Receiving Home, which was opposed by the association for the Northeast section, at a location near the Navy Yard and that there has not been a single complaint from the neigh- borhood thus far. The meeting was a celebration af- fair because of the removal of the Re- ceiving Home from Sixth street and Massachusetts avenue and for the opening up of the playground adjoin- ing the Peabody School and other im- provements about the building. ber of the Board of Education, spoke on school matters and pointed out particularly the difi- culties of getting the repair department the District to act on recommenda- tions of the School Board for im- provements sorely needed. He declared the salvation of the public school sys- tem would be obtained with an annual appropriation equivalent to one-third of all taxes collected in the District and the removal of the Board of Education from under the authority of the District Commissioners. Resolutions favoring representation in Congress and a voice in the election | i of the President, as printed in The Star’s “Humiliation day” appeal No- vember 6, were referred to the com- mittee on laws and legislation for ac- tion at the December meeting.
