for losses sustained as the result of the failure of the War Department
to carry out its plans to lease certain property owned by the said
Florence Bryant Peters and E. B . Peters and located at 310 Drayton
Street, Savannah, Georgia. A lease providing for the rental of such
property by the United States at the rate of $420 per annum was

E. B . Peters. On October 4, 1945, the War Department returned such
lease unsigned by any representative of the United States, although
the War Department had had the use of such property since November
3, 1944: Provided, That no part of the amount appropriated in this
Act in excess of 10 per centum thereof shall be paid or delivered to or
received by any agent or attorney on account of services rendered in
connection with this claim, and the same shall be unlawful, any con-
tract to the contrary notwithstanding. Any person violating the
provisions of this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction thereof shall be fined in any sum not exceeding $1,000.
Approved July 13, 1949.
