Judge Miller and Assistant District Attorney
Armes have spent considerable time in an effort
to secure legislation regarding the Police
Court. and had hoped for favorable action on
the bill, as it was. before the Senate committee

tee room it had been so changed and amended
that those who assisted in its preparation hardly

siderable Of the business which it il claimed. IL
now Illegally done and to provide means Of Civ
ing everybody a speedy and legal trial.
What was considered by Judge Miller the
most important things in the bill were stricken
out. The provision for the appointment Of

vides for jury trials in 30 MANY cases that il is

by the inventor, Mr.. Pennington, the air ship
itself being in Contemplation much larger and
with correspOndingly greater carrying capac-

The District Commissioners Write q Letts
to Congress on the Subject.

The District Commissioners Write q Letter
to Congress on the Subject
The present mode Of assessing property for
the cost Of improvements made under the com.
pulsory permit system is so unequitable as to
In many cases amount to hardship, especially
where the assessments are upon corner lots.
and the files OF the Commissioners office contain
great many protests against the injustice Of
the present plan. The Commissioners dis
posed to establish n more satisfactory ruling
and recently referred the matter to their at
torney, but he advised them that they could
not do it under the present law. Under
the present system a lot on corner
OF an alley opening il charged for the
alley improvement both the side of
the lot and on the rear. while the property de-
rives no special benefit from the improvement
OF the alley at its side, which is mainly an out
let for the lots abutting on the inside portion
OF the alley, and is no special easement to the
lot along the side of which it passes.
This afternoon the Commissioners wrote a
letter to Congress in which they called atten-
ton to these facts and said that in their opin.
ion the costs of these improvements should be
assessed upon the lineal foot or end feet of the
lots upon which the improvements abut. and
that the rate of assessment per lineal foot be
ascertained from dividing one-half of the cost
OF the improvement by the total number of
such lineal number of front or end feet of the
lots bordered by such improvements.
For the purpose of effecting this desirable
change in the law the Commissioners recon-
mend the insertion Of the following clause
after the word dollars in the clause headed
Permit work for the improvement and repair
of alleys and sidewalks and the construction of
sewers and sidewalks"
"And hereafter one half of the cost of such
work SO done including material and labor
shall be charged against and become q lien
upon the line of such Improvement; and assess
nent for the same shall be levied pro rata
according to the lineal front or end feet of
each lot abutting such improvement; the
amount Of such pro rata levy to be ascertained
by dividing one half of the cost of the work
under each order by the total number of
abutting lineal front or end feet of all the lots
which the improvement Affects
