fectinG Funds for SecturIuu BODIES.
The District Commissioners have address,
ed letter of inquiry to the controller of
the treasury relative to his recent decision
that the appropriation Of $4,000 for the
board of children's guardians cannot be
paid to sectarian bodies The following
institutions of a sectarian nature are
specially appropriated for in the current
District bill: Church Orphanage Associa-
ton of ST. Johns parish, ST. AIMS Infant
cy, House of the Good Shepherd, the st.
Rose Industrial School and St Joseph's
Asylum.
The Commissioners say:
"1n view Of the fact that you are of
opinion that the board of children's guard
ians may not make such contracts because
of the provision by Congress In the appro-
priation act of March 3, 1897, that from
and after the 30th day of June 1898, no
money appropriated for charitable purposes
in the District of Columbia shall be paid to
any church or religious denomination or to
any institution society which is under
sectarian or ecclesiastical control the
Commissioners have the honor to inoure
whether this ruling is to be construed as
applicable to the appropriations for the sec
tartan institutions which are specifically
provided for in the District approximation
act of June 30, 1898, or whether these an
preparations by Congress in contradiction
of the policy and provision set forth in the
clause above cited may not be rendered as
special legislation, which would warrant
an exception to the general law previously
enacted, -

Party Wall,

Party Wall.
Mr. Charles Baum of 416 7th street, who
owns the property Immediately adjoining
No. IA engine house, on Sth street, has been
informed by the District Commissioners
that he has no valid claim for compensa-
ton for the ground which the party
wall stands. In their letter the Commits
sioners quoted with approval the following
report of their attorney in the matter:
This wall, as l understand it, although
entirely on Mr.. Baum's land, was treated
both by him and the District authorities
when the engine house was erected as d
party wall, and Mr.. Baum was accord
ingly paid the sum of sos 80 for SO much
of the wall as was used by the District
in erecting its engine house
This wall being sufficient for the pur-
pose of the engine house, was properly
treated as a party wall. By accepting
payment for it Mr.. Baum conclusively ac-
qulesced in its use as a party wall and
is estopped now from claiming compensa-
ton for the ground on which it stands"
