THE PROPOSED oIoRoETowNAN AND KENDALL GREEN
RAILROAD.
A committee composed OF Messrs Henry A
Willard, Edward J. Stellwagen. J. J. Darling
ton and Gov VIM. Pitt Kellogg called upon the
Commissioners this morning to present the bill
recently submitted to Congress for the con-
struction OF a new street car road to be called
the Georgetown and Kendall Green railroad
Ii is the object of the company TO construct 3
road from Georgetown college on the west and
the Baltimore and Ohio rallroad on the east
over the route heretofore published in The
STAR. Mr.. Stellwagen spoke for the committee
and pointed out the advantages OF the road.
He asked the cooperation of the Commissioners
when the bill was referred 70 them for report
THE GEORGETOWN ASSESSMENTS.
several days ago The STAR referred TO the
letter OF Mr.. Thos. L. Cropley. late sub-assessor
OF the third district, asking why the assessment
OF property In that district had not been read
lusted, as ordered bv the board of equalization.
In replying to the letter of Mr.. Cropley yester-
day the Commissioners forwarded the follow
ing report of Assessor Williams upon the sub
lect: Mr.. Cropley fails to specify in what cases
the action OF the board of equalization has
iaiied to be entered on the return books. The
minutes OF the board II Is true, are incomplete,
owing TO the fact that the clerk of said board
whose duty 1t was to keep them failed to do SO.
All the records of the board were taken pos
session OF by me when SAID board adjourned
sine die on August 5, and have been in nv GUS
IN arranging in systemst tic manner the uumer-
GUS papers acted upon. When this is concluded
Mr.. Cropley can investigate the matter, and If
papers are found bearing the boards order the
proper entries will be made on the record. -
This report, it is thought, will finally settle the
matter.
