Az nPRovKMBNr TAX Lien.
Some days ago tho question arose as TO when
. certain improvement tax for curbing and
sidewalk became q charge OF lien upon the real
estate fronting or sbutting thereon. Assistant
Attorney S.T.Thomas. to whom the matter was
referred for opinion, says that It became lien
on the property when the assessment was en-
tered upon the tax books.
IT Is A STREET.
Some days ago The Stan mentioned that
permit was asked to build . house on Brown
street in Georgetown. That street IL only 29feet
6inches wide and the question which arose was
whether the Commissioners In view Of the act
Of June 20, 1892, regulating the construction
OF buildings along alleyways in the District
words was . street less than As feet in width to
be considered a. an alley? Assistant Attorney
8. T. Thomas says that an alley has been de-
fined to be . narrow way less In size than .
street, but It Is obvious that whether the way is
or is not to be called an alley depends upon
the relation It bears to other ways In the same
city or town. He refers to the records in the
surveyors Office which show that Brown street
In Georgetown was laid out as Q street % early
as 1872. dedicated by the owner and accepted
by the public as = street. Therefore be does
not think 1t should be put IN the category Of
aueyways and holds that the oct above referred
10 does not apply to the street In question.
