(EFFORT RENEWED Montgomery Commissioners to See Rockville Owners Again Before Acting. BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Staff Correspondent of The Star. ROCKVILLE, Md., June 26.—With a determination to acquire the square west of the -present courthouse here as an addition to the site for a new and mod- ern building, the county commissioners at their meeting here yesterday decided to make another effort to acquire the land by private sale, prior to ordering its condemnation. ‘They took this step, following a study of the opinoni of the firm of Cissel & ‘Woodward, counsel to the county com- missioners, which informed them that ihey might acquire the land by condem- nation under the provisions of the orig- inal courthouse act passed by the Leg- islature in 1927, Commissioner Lacy Shaw of the Northern Suburban District and vice president of the board, together with Berry E. Clark, clerk to the board, were directed to call personally on the own- ers of the property in the square which 1s sought, and ascertain from them the very lowest price which they will take at a private sale for their holdings. Some time ago the board pased a reso- lution directing that letters be written to the owners, asking for the same in- formation. All but four of them re- sponded, and of those who did fix a price, it was said to be very high. The four who failed to respond, it was fur- ther said, held the most valuable parcels, To Visit Owners. Commissioner Shaw said that he and | Mr. Clark would visit the owners next FPriday night and seek the bottom prices at which the owners Would dispose of their property for the.public improve- | ment. They will make it clear that if | the prices quoted are considered ex- orbitant then condemnation will be re- sorted to, in accordance with the opin- ion of the counsel. The information to be collected by the county officials will be tabulated and formally laid before the board at its meeting next Tuesday, when it is confidently predicted the board will take steps to acquire by con- demnation those parcels which are being held for what might be considered too high a price. Dr. Benjamin C. Perry of the west- ern metropolitan district and president of the board, said that in view of the opinion of the counsel to the board it was agreed that the commissioners should act promptly one way or the other in the courthouse matter. He pointed out that the project had been pending for such a long time that a de- cision in the matter should not be further delayed. p ‘While there is a hope that the matter can be handled by acquisition of the property at a private sale, it is quite certain now that the board will not al- low a few holdings to stand in the way of obtaining the entire square, so that the work may proceed promptly. By those in close touch with the inside de- tails of the matter, it was said that it is almost cértain that the board will direct its clerks to prepare the way for the necessary condemnation Ing in the event that any one attempts to thwart the proposal with improvement, by iixing an exorbitant price for their property.
