THE CENTRE MARKET.

And now the old ghost Of the Centre mar
ket, which all thought had been laid, arises
and will soon, doubtless, show such signs of
life as to astonish the gentlemen who hold the
present franchise. . H+#.-
A well-knoWn legal gentleman has been
delving into the muSty records and referring
to the recent acts which affect this well-paying
institution, and has found that, in the first
place, the square was decided to the city of
Washington by the original owner for market
house purposes only. BE has found that after
the old structure was destroyed by fire the
present company secured tie franchise, after
agreeing 70 construct certain elaborate build
lngs, the plans of which were duly drafted,
shown to and examined by the proper COM
mIttee ia both branches Of Congress. he has
found further, that for this splendid grant, and
all the profits accruing therefrom, the company
was simply required TO pay as rental the sum
of S25 600 annually, which Was to be applied,
under certain local laws TO the benefit Of the in
digent poor Of the District. He has found that,
by peculiar and partial legislation, both ma
tional and local, the company, after having
erected the minor portion Of the proposed
structure at but small expense, and derived
therefrom profit enough to pay for It, con-
cluded not to erect the main building. He has
found that they secured the passage Of an act
giving the unoccupied ground on which the
main building WA TO be erected 10 the District,
for the purpose Of erecting District offices,
they releasing themselves from the payment
Of the stipulated 81, 900 annually 10 the poor.
From all this hs has deducted the following:
/. That the spirit Of the original grant was
that the ground should be occupied by q mar
ket owned by the District, not by corporation.
3. That having secured the charter, under its
terms the present company could not, even by
Congressional enactment, cede portion OF Il
back to the District government for the pur-
poses suggested.
8. That they now owe the poor fund fully
$4,000.
Z. That proceedings to recover this sum
should and may be instituted by the Commits
sioners against the company at an early day.
tHURcH PRoPERFY.
This same legal gentleman has been looking
up the subject Of the exemption Of church
property from taxation. He has studied the
whole subject thoroughly, and after 9 careful
examination Of the bill approved June IL, 1874,
providing for the exemption Of certain pror
erty from taxation, has come to the concluSon
that by 6 strict construction of that act - the
church property in the District is hablsior the
payment Of taxes.
