NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 1929. GRAF ZEPPELIN COMPLETES FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD Government Prepares to Condemn Davis Tract for P.-0. Extension Petition in Hands of Au-‘i thorities at Washington | —Action Holds Up Con-| struction. 4 By GEORGE H. MANNING (Washington Burea: N. B. Herald) Washington, D. Aug. 30 — An carly start on the $250,000 extension | {o the New Britain post office build- | ing was foreshadowed when it was | learncd today that the department| of justice has received the petitions | for condemnation proceedings to ob- | tain the necessary ground. The depactment, after reviewing| the petition, is expected to approve them and forward them to the| United States attorney for the dis- trict, who will then institute ccn- Jemnation proceedings to acquire the plot known as the Davis tract. The Hartford district attorney is now in almost complete charge of the case. Difficulties centering about ac- quisition of the Davis tract have held up negotiations for some | wnonths. Once the tract is acquired and title formally vested in the gov- crnment, the treasury will start work on plans and specifications for the extension. These completed. | bids wil then be advertised for and work gotlen under way at New | Britain. | The property involved consists of two pieces of ground. One of these is the Davis tract mentioned. The other, known as the Cadwell tract, | has already been purchased by the government by outright sale by the owners. The only deley, there- fore, hinges about condemnation | proceedings to acquire the other | plot. The Cadwell plot was bought for $65,000, it is stated. [ The government is therefore lim- ited in the amount it can afford to | pay for the Davis plot, since tk limit of cost of the entire proje imposed by copgress is $250,000.

Continuing the case for three | months, Judge Saxe turned Partyka | over to Probation Officer Connolly | and sounded a warning that fur. ther depredations of the sort will be followed by severe punishment, He felt justified in giving Partyka. a chance but if the case fails to prove a lesson to others, drastic means will be taken to protect the public from thefts. Judge Saxe asked Superintendent Bryan if junk dealers would be deceived by the appearance of the trolley car fixtures and he answered that those articles in particular might be considered junk but the copper cable, which had been sawed into short pieces so as to be egsily crammed into a bag was plainly not junk. The boys who were with Partvka will be looked after by the juvenile probation authorities. Examinations IMPROVED!
