South May Get Ten Million From Confiscated Lands
Washington February 12 About ten million dollars may be secured from the government by the people of the south if a war claims bill becomes law. The bill gives the court of claims jurisdiction over claims for abandoned lands and property sold during the civil war and whose proceeds went to the U S treasury. The two year suit limit expired before many could prove ownership and loyalty requirements. The bill aims to enable original owners of confiscated property to recover the money it produced.
