Further inquiry developed that in the
nine upper stories there were about 100
water closets with the usual supply of
sinks. wash basins, slop hoppers and
troughs, the refuse from which went direct
to the main sewers from the first story.
The man, experienced plumber as he was,
gave 1t as his opinion that in case a heavy
rain occurred when the main sewers were
full, they usually are on such occa sions
in this neighborhood, the sewage from the
eight stories over the first story would be
forced out through the closets in the lat
ter story because the same pipes would
have TO receive and carry off the water
that fell on the several acres of roof on

Opinion of Attorney Thomas Upon Internal
Revenue Office Ruling.
Question Whether Tax Certificates Is.
sued by District Assessor Are
Subject to War Tax.

The attorney for the District today rem
dered an opirion in reply to a communica-
tior from Acting Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Wilson, who held that certificates
issued by the assessor of the District of
Columbia, under the act of Congress ap-
proved May 13, 1892 relating to tax sales
and taxes in the District, are liable to a
stamp duty of 10 cents. This tax, it Is un-
derstood, was demanded under the act of
June 13, 1898, entitled IAN act to provide
ways and means to meet war expenditures,
and for other purposes" The attorney was
asked for IN opinion whether in view of
section IL of the war revenue act, tax GER
tif1cates issued by the assessor must be
stamped.
1.-The act of Congress of May 13, 1892" he
states. amending the act of February 8,
1879, in regard to tax certificates, makes it
the duty of the assessor, when requested.
to furnish, in addition to regular tax bills.
a certified statement under his hand and
official seal of all taxes and assessments,
general and special, due and unpaid at the
time of making said certificate; and for
each and every certificate so furnished by
the assessor the party requesting the same
shall pay into the treasury of the District
fee of 80 cents.
Section II of the war revenue act pro-
vldes: That all bonds. debentureS or GER
t'hcates of Indebtedness issued by the off,
GERS of the United States government or
by officers of any state, county, town. mu-
nicipal corporation or other corpora ton eX-
ercising a taxing power, shall be, and here
by are, exempt from the stamp duty re-
quired by this act; provided that it is the
intent hereby to exempt from the stamp
taxes such state. county or other municipal
corporation in the exercise only of func-
tons strictly belonging to them in their or
dinary governmental taxing or municipal
capacity
