| AN OVERLAPPING OF ASSESSMENTS II The Di'lh'Oi
or COLUMBIA SHOWS MANY oyERCHARGEs BY
IHE SHEPHERD RING.
lFRoN REGULAR CORRESPONDENT or THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Commissioners oil the
District have been engaged for several weeks in ex-
aiming and revising tine assessments against PIT
vae property for special improvements made by the
Board of Public Works during the reign of the Shfp
herd rinq Their discoveries more than sustain the
accusations of fraudulent overcharges made
at the time the work done, and at
the time Of the District Investigation, but
which could not then be proved. for want OF data
An example of the way in which the property-hoid-
ers Of Washington were robbed is furnished by the
revision Of the assessments for the improvement OF
seven squares of Pennsylvana-ave east Of the Cap
itol By the original assessment, the total eXpendl-
ture was set down at S31i,3S0 0S, to which the
surveyor added five per cent for contingencies, max
ing total Of 1880, O09 %. Besides an erroneous
statement Of the frontage, the following errors are
discovered IN the statement of expenditures:
l. Purchases OF brick twice charged in the assess
ment. S4,0ss - p Dressing curb twice chargtIq'

There are also omissions amounting to S22'ZZS o4'
probably owing 10 the fact that the assessment was
made before the work completed; also, arith-
motical errors in the apportionment amounting To
