WIDENING G STREET.
Thu Commissioners Think II Should He Sixty
Feet in Width.

eSO""lselOnerb MINK ~ SnOuAu no Slxty
Feet in Width.
Several days ago Gen. Albert Ordway in a
letter to the Commissioners requested that the
carriageway of 9Th street between X and L be
widened ten feet by reducing the width of the
twenty-four foot sidewalk. Capt. Rossell, who
has charge Of the work in question, has re-
ported on the case. He says that the
widening seems necessary at the present
time, owing to the construction Of the
lexington and Soldiers Home railway through
these streets, which has narrowed the roadway
30 much as to greatly inconvenience the travel
ing public, and that they should be among the
first things for which appropriations are asked.
He says that the estimate for widening G street
to a ffty-foot roadway from 9Th to 18th street
is Sit 900 and to q sixty-foot roadway, s27 900.
He recommends that this width be made fifty
five feet, and estimates the cost at S25 900. He
says, however, that 9Th street from q to New
York avenue might be widened to fifty feet,
and estimates the cost at 1900.
When the matter was taken up in the board
session this afternoon the Commissioners were
unanimous in the opinion that g street should
be widened to sixty feet and provided for and
urged in their next annual report, and that
5th street should be left for future considers
ton. The matter brought out . considerable
amount Of discussion.

Hearing This Morning Before . House
Subcommittee.
A hearing was given this morning by the
subcommittee of the House District committee
ON the new assessment law proposed by the
Commissioners and printed in The
STAR. There were present Commits
sioners Ross and Douglass, Assessor Trimble,
W. C. Dodge, NJ. I. Weller and A. +. Sperry.
Every one present at the hearing this morning
believed thoroughly in the needs for a new as
sessment law. The differences were only as to
the details Of the new law
MIR. wELLER's SUGGESTIONS.
Mr.. Weller opposed the Commissioner bill
on the ground that the assessors should be APP
pointed by the President instead Of by the
Commissioners. He also held that too few
assessors were provided for and too
snort time In which to make
the assessment. Speaking as a real estate man
with a knowledge whereof he spoke, Mr..
Weller said that it would be physical i'm
possibility for the assessment to be properly
made.
Mr.. DoD6E's FIGURES.
Mr.. Dodge followed somewhat in the same
line. The proposed bill, he said, was clumsy,
unwieldy measure. Mr.. Dodge then drew at
tention to what he claimed was a decrease in
the net assessed value of land in the District of
Columbia since 1871. In 1871 the gross assessed
value, he said, was $79, 997, 454 and the value
minus the debt, &C., or the net assessed
value, was s74, 466, S2s In 1891 the gross value
was $141 ,609, 891. but the net assessed value he
said: was only s4S, 1856 2S6, or decrease of S26,
0O0, 900.
THE COMMISSIONERS.
The Commissioners and Assessor Trimble ap-
proved the hill An amendment ,xas aided NV
striking out section IA and inserting a
clause providing that if the
first assessment cannot be completed
Is the time provided that the Commissioners
shall postpone the requirements provided for
TO such date as will give sufficient time for
the board of assessors to fully complete the
assessment. They also wanted to be
authorized to postpone the collection Of the
first half Of the tax payable November 1, 1891,
until the assessment shall be completed. The
time. however, not to extend beyond the time
when the second half becomes due.
