ADDRESS YOUR REPLY TO

FRONT ROYAL, VA.

JUly 6 , 1934

To the Clerks of the Circuit courts of
Warren, Rappahannock , Page, Rockingham.,
Augusta, Albemarle, Greene and Madison
Counties:Gentlemen:
We have had a very careful check made of the tables in the
reports of the Boards of Appraisal Commissioner s and comparison with the orders of the. court directing amendments
in the amounts set out in Table II •
It would seem very important t hat amendments and insertions
by you should be exactly in accord with all the judgments
and orders entered in these proceedings.
would it be agreeable to you when you reach Table II of the
report of the Board of Appraisal commissioner s, to wait a
comparison and check up with our copy, and thus make sure
before this Table is entered in the deed book that all
changes and modification s as ordered by the Court, have been
duly made .
Yours very truly,

Ci.J, G. ~ ~
A. C. C.ARSON
OF COUNSEL

P. s.

In other words, go ahead with the recording until you
come down to Table II, and either myself or Mr • Marshall will
have .our copy in your office for comparison in the course of
the next three or four days.
A. C. C.

Memo for
The Clerks of the Circuit Courts of the
Counties of Warren, Rappahannock , page ,
Rockingham, Augusta, Albemarle , Greene
and Madison.
We have been making a complete check of all orders entered in
the Park Condemnation Proceedings directing the amendment of
Table Two of the reports of the Boards of Appraisal commissioners as to the amount set out therein as the value of certain
tracts .

M:r . Marshall and the writer will bring our copy of your respective reports to you in the next two or three days for
comparison with your report. May we suggest that if you reach
Table Two of the report of the .AJ)praisal commissioner s in your
deed book before we see you , you wait our arrival before actually
entering it in your deed book so that we can together make a
final check of these orders b.efore the actual copying of this
table into the deed book.
Some of the clerks have asked whether all of the reports and
the five tables attached thereto are to be copied in the need
Book. rt is our understandin g that the order directs the
recording of the entire report and the five attached tables in
full .
To avoid some uncertainty which seems to have arisen as to what
"plats" are to be withdrawn from the record of the proceedings
and inserted in your deed book , we have prepared lists taken
from the tables mentioned in the reoordation order .
Enclosed find the numbers of the plats which we understand to
be those designated in the recordation order, and we should be
glad if you Will advise us whether you find these lists correct .

-1-

l'·\

�The list in each county is set out in the enclosed copy of a
certific ate, the origina l of which we will bring wit h us this
week and ask you to certify.
·
If there is any way in which we can be of service in this connection , please comm.and us.

yours truly,

Enclosu re

CC to all t he Judges in the Park area.

Riverton, Virginia
January 18, 1934 .

Mr . J . Robert Switzer,
Clerk, Circuit Court of hockingham County,
Harrisonburg, Virginia .
Dear Mr . Switzer:
Mr . Armstrong has forwarded me your letter of
the 16th in which you ask to be advised as to the Connnission ' s
attitude in the matter of claims by your good self , as Clerk of
the Circuit Court of Rockingham County, for fees or allowances
for services rendered claimants of awards paid into the custody
of your court, in the Shenandoah National Park condemnation proceedings , either by way of preparation of claims , examination
of records as to liens, or the preparation of certificates of
copies of orders to the State Treasurer .
Section 25 of the Public Park Condemnation Act
expressly provides for the payment of:
"All lawful compensation and allowances to any person employed by or under the direction or the authority of the
court or judge for the furtherance of such proceedings
which are allowed and approved by the court or the judge
thereof , up to and including the entry of the judgment,
as in rem, condemning the land, or estate or interest
therein , sought to be condemned, may be taxed as a part
of the costs of the case and should be paid by the petitioner upon the order or direction of the court or judge
thereof • 11
Section 41 provides that:
In any case wherein a judgment in rem etc . is entered
etc . the court shall etc . enter an appropriate order setting forth such fact , and expressly discharging the petitioner from any further obligation or duty with regard
thereto, and declaring that the petitioner shall not there after be in any way responsible for the· disposition or distribution of the fund so paid into the custody of the
court, etc . 11
11

The third paragraph of Section 15, which is
as follows, is still more explicit ~

8

�Mr. J. Robert Switzer

-2-

January 18, 1934.

11 In

order properly to determine conflicting rights 01"'
cJai.ms of claimants to the fund, the court shall have
power to direct issues to be made between such claimants and to require them or any of them to enter into
such bond or security for the costs incident to or arising upon a prosecution of their claims, as shall seem to
the court meet and proper; but no cost incident to or
arising out of a trial or a determination of such issues
or out of a determination of the ownership of the fund
or the distribution or disbursement thereof after the
same has been paid into the custody of the court by the
petitioner shall be adjudged against the petitioner,
except only, and in the discretion of the court, in any
such matter as to which the petitioner shall have exercised his right to intervene under the provisions of section
number thirty-nine of this act . 11
It seems very clear from the above cited provisions of the Act that the Petitioner in these condemnation cases
is neither authorized nor obligated to pay any such claims as
you outline in your letter, and that such claims for services
rendered should be paid by the respective distributees of the
condemnation awards .
So far as it is proper for counsel to express an
opinion as to the modest claims for fees or compensation mentioned
in your letter, we believe that there would be no real ground for
complaint on the part of distributees, who may be charged with
such fees or compensation, especially when one takes into consideration the liberal attitude assumed by the ~etitioner, the
Appraisal Commissioners, and the Courts in ascertaining and determining the a.:mounts of these awards .
It has occurred to us, however, that instead of
fixing a flat fee or remuneration to the Clerks who really give
special time and attention to the handling of the matters mentioned in your letter, a more equitable arrangement would contemplate a fee of say $1 . 00 in cases where the awards amount to
$100.00 or less; $2 . 00 where the awards exceed $100.00 and are
less than $ 250 . 00; $ 3.00 where the awards exceed ~250.00 and are
less than $500 . 00; and ~5 . 00 where the awards are in excess of
~500.00 .
The power of the court to provide for such payments would seem to be established by the second paragraph of
Section 15 of the Act in which it is said that:
in order to enable or to assist the court in determining a proper disposition or distribution of the fund,

11

�Mr . J . Robert Switzer

January 18 , 1934 .

the court may have inquiries by a commissioner to as certain what persons are ent i tled thereto and in what
proportions . 11

Yours very truly ,

~V(U_/4_
