DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.

The Commissioners have refused to appoint
jury OF seven to assess damages to Mr.. Max
Lansburg's property, caused by the widening
OF Columbia road, and have so written Mr.. Al
exander, Mr.. Lansburgs attorney.
Captain Symons has recommended that $500
be expended on the Anacostia road in gravel
ing it; also that pipe culvert be put in at In
dian Springs on the Sheriff road, and that rail-
road companies should put fagmen at the rail-
road crossings.
LIQUOR LICENSES.
The Commissioners yesterday took up again
the subject Of liquor licenses. There are many
nice points daily coming up, which require
some little discussion. One point that excites
no little attention, both on the part Of the ap-
plicant and the Commissioners, is that Of
corner houses. The portion imme diately on
the corner contains q grocery store. while some
distance down one of the streets, separated
from the grocery by a partition, is the bar
room for which application is made. The
commissioners, when passing upon a case Of
this kind, reject the application on the ground
that the place is all under one roof, and, there
fore, on the corner, and reqires the signers on
both streets. Many attorneys having cases of
this kind, argue that the stand taken by the
Commissioners is unjust. They cite the cases
signers on the street on which the bar opens,
and OF large corner buildings having stores in
them, but distinctly separated from each other.
The Commissioners, however, reject the ap-
plicatiOn, making an exception, perhaps, Of
those cases which have hall between the two
places.
Yesterday the following cases were taken up
and acted upon:
