Assessing Corporate Stock.
The COMMISSIONERS HAVE TALK WITH ASSESSOR
DODGE
During the session OF the District Commissioners
yesterday afternoon Assessor Dodge was called In
and had talk with the Commissioners In relation
to the method he proposes to follow In assessing
corporate stack. Mr.. Dodge statpd his intention
OF appraSing the stock according to It's market
value In compliance with the law as construed by
! Attorney Riddle and the District Commissioners
WHAT COMMISSIONER WEST SAYS
For my part" observed Commissioner West to
STAR reporter to-day, 81 don't see why it is any
more Unfair to assess corporate property at its
| market value than to assess real estate In that
way"
Assessor Dodge in his letter intimated that
such course would result in litigation suggest
"That's a matter that ought not to concern
him. said Mr.. West. "aGi he ought not to have
made such statement: The collector might as
collect only one per cent The e assessor IS safe in
following the law It IS understood by the attOr
ney OF the District and the powers that appointed
him. We want officials about to follow the law.
II the law Is bad, that Is not our fault"
The Goats and the Dogs.
To the Editor of The EVENING STAR:
Is there not danger OF the pOun1master and his
forces OVERRIDING this business of dog catching?
Why should harmless goat be carried of to the
pound and shot? They are not dangerous animals,
and not given to hydrophobia. The laws of this
country not generally enforced to the letter as
they are in this dog business These poundmen
become hardened and like to intllct pain not only
on the wrrtched dogs but On their owners, or
they would discriminate, and when a m IN rushes
forward to save his dog, in the instanc. OF yes
terday, they should let him retain his property
even II he owned no tag. Their business should
be to capture merely those vagabond stray dogs
that have no owners and no home, and being tor
mented by boys are apt to develop hydrophObia.
