FRAUDS IN THE DISTRICT.
a Decision I'm Regard 10 the Fund
for their Detection.

First Comptroller Lawrence, in letter TO
the District Commissioners, in reference to
their request for authority to use sum not
exceeding 81, 600 for the detection of frauds
upon the revenue out of either the con-
tingent fund or the item Of miscellaneous
expenses, says il is quite apparent that Con-
grcss intended the appropriation OF $4,000
for dcfraying the expenses OF the
Assessors Office to include services
for detecting frauds upon the revenue, and
Il would seem proper therefore that the
Commissioners could meet this expense by
reduction, if necessary in the clerical
force of that officer If this is found to BIO
insufficient, il will then be time enough to
decide whether any part of the contingent
fund can be used for this purpose. Judge
Lawrence calls attention to the fact
that the appropriation for the Metro
politan police fund includes an
item for contingent expenses, embracing,
among other things, the detection of crime,
and under this he supposes the Commits
sioners arc authorized TO employ the entire
police force when not otherwise on duty in
detecting any violation of law, including
the violation of revenue law in all matters
where its violation would be crime; and,
police force in this manner, a por-
ton of the contingent fund of $50, 469
appropriated under that head can be
used for the detection of such crimes. The
letter concludcs at is not intended to be
said that IL, after all these means have been
rcsorted to to enforce the revenue laws and
detect violations of them, it might be found
necessary to use portion of the contingent
fund for the further detection of frauds
upon the revenue, that any of that fund can
be so used but as already remarked, the
time does not yet seem to have arrived
when that question is necessarily pre-
toI

water for the reform school.

The trustees of the new Reform School
have made every effort to secure a water
supply for such of the buildings as arc in an
elevated position. The Commissioners re-
ferred the question of whether it was pos
siblc to supply the Reform School by bring
ing water from any part of the Potomac TO
Mr.. Cox, the water registrar, who in turn
referred it to Mr.. Forsyth, District surveyor,
whose report, which isas follows, shows that
it will, unfortunately be impossible to con-
vey Potomac water to the building;
q The level of tho Reform Schools floor is
2l6s2 feet above the city datum. The
level of the Potomac at Great Falls is 145
feet above said datum, or 1882 feet below
the level of the floor of the Reform School"
