REIMBURSEMENT OF TAXES,
An Important Ruling Made Toda, nv
Judge Cole,

Judge Cole, in a decision rendered this
afternoon i'm Circuit Court No l. made a
ruling OF considerable Importance in regard
TO reassessments of taxes i'm the Dis< Saf
OF Columbia, under the act of April ~, 1895
The decision involves nearly all reassess-
ments made because the original quashing
was for a defect in publication. The mat
ter was brought to the attention of the
court on petition to quash certain re-
assessments, under the act OF 1886. where
the original assessment was declared de-
fectire owing to improper publication of
the notice OF assessment
Judge Cole held that IL under the original
assessment there was not sufficient publi-
cation, the act of reassessment would not
apply. If the service was defective, after
notice, Judge Cole ruled, 1t could be cured
by reaSsessment.
The case was argued last June and the
court has had IL under advisement since
that time. The matter was taken to the
District Supreme Court on certioraTi for
the purpose of testing the law by a petition
Tiled by Attorneys ID. W. Baker and H. M
Earle for Jerome Wise. Later another Pc
tition Involving similar points, was pre-
scented by Attorneys Birney and Wood
ward.
Mr.. Wise, in his petition, explained that
he is the owner of lots g. 81. g. e. ca and
81, square 11S. Certain illegal charges had
been made against the property. he stated,
assessed in the name of the City Invest
ment Company, for paving, curbing and
SIDEWALKS. The work out of which the
charges originated, Mr.. Wise went on to
say, was done by the Commissioners, and
the charges Were quashed by the court on
account of a defective notice.
Mr.. Wise further said in his petition that
the act of April -. 1Sa6, was intended to
cure, possible, those cases wherein on
account OF some technical defect an as
sessment or tax levied by the Commission
ers, were qIashed by the District Supreme
Court, and that the act did not in any way
attempt to cure any defect in substance. IL
the same could be cured. Mr.. Wise declared
the act TO be unconstitutional
Notwithstanding that the act of Aprfl
~ lS.G, only attempts to bestow upon the
commissioners the power to reassess in
certain cases, Mr.. Wise continued they
UNIV arranteGly and without authority at
tempted to reassess the charges against
the property which had been quashed for
want OF proper authority in the Commits
Sioners.
The act IS unconstitutional, Mr. Wise
aVerred, because it does not provide for a
proper notice to the property owners.
The Commissioners. in answer to the De-
ution, maintained that their action in the
matter was Authorized and required by
law.
