As the picks and shovels of a band of housewreckers were being prepared this week to demolish the rambling, two-square-long building that housed Center Market for nearly 60 years, it was revealed that numerous private in- vestigations by heirs of original prop- erty owners of land in the District of Columbia and other interested parties have been conducted recently with a view to ascertaining title to the area oc- cupied by the age-old market place. Rumors that the original documents deeding the property on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue between Sev- enth and Ninth streets contained a pro- vision that the site be designated per- manently as a market place, and that in the event it be discontinued as such the property should revert to the origi- nal owners led The Star to conduct an investigation of the land records of the District to determine definitely, if possi- ble, the status of the property. Part of Burnes Property. Although a search of the records of the office of the Recorder of Deeds failed to reveal trace of papers defi- nitely referring to the squares contain- ing the market, it appears that the property, designated by President George Washington in 1797 as public reservation No. 7, was part of the tract of David Burnes, acquired by the Gov- ernment in March, 1791, under a joint agreement with property owners in the area designated by Congress to be ac- cepted from Maryland and Virginia for the seat of the Federal Government. The Burnes farm, one of the largest in the 10-mile-square district, was bounded on the north by a line roughly parallel to what is now New York ave- nue, on the west by what is now Eight- eenth street, on the east by an irregu- lar line running approximately north and south at First street, and on the south by what is now Ohio avenue. Ad- Jacent to the Burnes tract on the south lay the property of Forrest, Stoddart and Thompson. Following the acceptance by Congress of the area ceded by the States of Maryland and Virginia for the seat of the Federal Government President We n, in March, 1791, made a rough explotation of the territory, ac- companied by two surveyors, Andrew Ellicott and Maj. Peter Charles L'En- fant, according to Faehty and Pratt's “Washington in Embryo,” a historic publication of 1874, Commissioners Were Named. Three commissioners appointed by President Washington by authorization of Congress to secure lands for the Government for public purposes also accompanied the President on the tour. Shortly thereafter a meeting was held to effect a free agreement between the property owners in the new district and the United States commissioners, “and ‘Washington's good counsel on that oc- casion had so favorable an -effect that general features were settled that very evening for the agreement which was signed and executed by 19 property owners the next day, and thereby the rights and titles to property within this District may be said to have been de- cided on that evening.” According to the agreement, the sub- scribers, in consideration of the great benefits expected to be derived from having the Federal City laid off upon their lands, agree to bind themselves, heirs, executors and administrators to convey in trust to the United States or mmm‘ 1;:::15 the b:}é;h of the re- ve land it may ought proper to include within the lines of the Fed- eral City. Value Put at $66.66 an Acre. ‘The agreement specified that the President, empowered to direct the planning of the city, might “retain any number of squares he may think proper for any public improvements or other public uses, and the lots only which shall be laid off shall be joint property between the trustees on behalf of the public and equally divided between the public and individuals as soon as may be after the city shall be laid off.” “For the streets the proprietors shall recelve no compensation, but for the squares or lands in any form which shall be taken for public buildings of any kind of public improvements or uses the proprietors whose lands shall be so taken shall receive at the rate of £25 (8$66.66) an acre.” According to John Clagett Proctor's “Washington, Past and Present,” the Commissioners for the Federal City in 1796 were authorized by act of Congress to sell some of the public land in the City of Washington. Two days before his term expired President Washington in an endeavor to prevent the sale of pieces of land reserved 17 parcels, which since have been known as public res- ervations.
