THE PUBLIC REsERvATJONS.
The Commissioner Claim No Jurisdic
tiOn Over Them.

A short time ago Col. Joha NJ. Wilson, who has
charge OF the public buildings and grounds wrote
to the Commissioners requesting Information as to
what extent they claimed jurisdiction over the
smaller United States reservations. This action
was brought about by Col wilson from the fact
that In great many instances where United
States property adJolned private lots the fences of
the former were thrown down, the owners OF the
lots claiming that they had the authority of the
building inspector.
The Commissioners, In answer to Colonel Wilson
say that the technical term reservation" as used
OF the city Of Washington refers only to cerpain
squares and spaces reserved In the original plat OF
the city for purposes OF public buildings or public
intersection OF streets ana avenues were not.
strictly speaking, reservations or the two desig.
nations OK properly, the former reservations.

between the original proprietor and the commits

1.-THE President may retain any number OF squares

tors shall receive no compensation, but for the
squares or lands in any form which shall be taken
FOR public buildings or any kind OF public improve
ments or uses, the proprietors whose lands shall
be taken shall receive al the rate Of Eos pounds
per acre TO be paid by the public. The Comniis-
sioners say that the conclusion seems IN
evltaoie, that over the reservations and
spaces or Intersections referred to the
commissioners have no Jurisdiction except
SO far as the same has been given to them BY acts
OF Congress extending tfeir police authority over
the sane The city was originally divided into
squares, lots and Streets and the streets were so
arranged as to make at these IN ersections open

original proprietors to the United States absolutely
and without compensation. The lots were
divided equally between the propretors and
