A Hotel for Ben Lomond.
Ben Lomond, Aug. IA, 1890.

Ben LomOnd, Aug. IA, 1890.
To the STANDARD: Will the own
ers of Ben Lomond allow us to again
call their attention to the importance
of building a hotel or boarding house
here in time to be occupied next
summer. Within the last few weeks
we have had many visitors from this
and other States, all of whom, with-
out single exception, have express
ed themselves as delighted with Ben
Lomond. They seem surprised that
a hotel with suitable accommodations
for summer visitors has not been
built before this. We talked to
many of them, asking them to buy
lots and build cottages. Some eX-
pressed themselves as willing to do so
if they were certain a hotel would be
built at which to take their meals.
They like the water, air and scenery,
and would be glad to summer here
were there suitable accommodations.
We believe if the owners of this beau
tiful summit were to expend a few
hundred dollars each in building even
a small hotel and identifying the
grounds, they would then have de.
mand for lots, on the sales of which
they would receive enough to cover
expenses of building a small hotel
Until some steps are taken by the
property owners to provide accom-
modations we cannot hope to have
much demand for lots. We believe
every dollar properly and wisely ex
pended here by the company would
prove profitable. We submit these
thoughts for their consideration, hop
ing they will at least give the matter
some consideration in time for mex
season. Now is the time to begin i
they desire to build in time for mex
summer. r.

ASSESSING WATER RENTS.
Col. Robert Wants This Duty Trans
ferred From the Engineer Departmen ut.

The following letter from Col Robert to the
Commissioners explains itself: Il have the
honor to forward herewith a bill to provide for
transferring the assessment of water rents and
water main taxes from the engineer office to
the assessor OF the District with the
recommended that it be sent to the District
committees OF the Senate and House with the
request that it be passed. 1t provides that the
transfer shall take place at the close of the is-
cal year, as / find it would be impracticable to
have it occur earlier.
Very soon after my assumption Of the duties
of Engineer Commissioner l became satisfied
this transfer should be made as soon as practi-
cable. find that September II, 1888, bill
was introduced in the House of Representa-
tives providing among other things for this
transfer, but 1t failed to pass. 1t seems to me
that bill containing only this feature and
unanimously approved by the Commissioners
could be readily passed" The bill proposed by
Col Robert provides that from after the Sd day
of June, 1890, rents for water and all taxes for
water mains in the District Of Columbia shall
be collected by the collector of taxes OF the
District, on bills prepared and charges de-
by him furnished to the persons liable therefor.
the above said: The engineer department has
such a load to carry already that feel it my
duty to do away with everything that does not
properly belong to them. / do not think the
assessment feature of the water department
belongs to the engineer branch OF the District
government and therefore have recommended
