New Move in Eleventh Street Extension Litigation
District Commissioners through Corporation Counsel A B Duvall and A Leftwich Sinclair filed a petition asking the U S marshal to summon a jury to reassess benefits to adjacent property as part of the Eleventh street extension from Florida avenue to Lydecker avenue. The prior $269 120 damages award had been partially benefits, with a long appellate history culminating in a Supreme Court remand. The case, tied to acts of March 2 1899 and June 6 1900, centers on whether benefits exist and how they should be assessed. The original condemnation proceedings are considered abandoned and the street project continues with a railroad under construction.
