Additions to New Code RecOmme nd
ed by District Official.


The code Of laws prepared by Justice
Walter s. Cox of the District Supreme
Court having been received by the Dis
trict Commissioners, they have referred
copies of it to the heads of the various de-
partments of the District government for
examination with directions to make such
suggestions in the way of amendments as
they may deem necessary. A report has
been received by the Commissioners from
Mr.. G. w. Trow, acting special assessment
clerk to the effect that he has examined
those sections of the code relating especial
ly to the work of his office, and has made
such additions and amendments as will in
his opinion, bring the code nearer to the
laws under which the office is working and
make them more effective in their opera-
ton, the laws governing the work of the
office having, he states, so far proved salts
factory, and having in many cases been
sustained by the courts of the District
These additions and amendments ex-
plains Mr. Trow, are suggested by him in
order to make the proposed code so far as
II relates to the work of the special assess
ment office, more explicit, and to bring it in
conf ormlty with existing laws. These laws
are, OF course, embraced by Justice Cox in
his code. but in the opinion of the office do
not go far enough, especially In giving no.
tice to property owners of assessments for
improvements. The amendments for in
stance. provide for personal notice to the
holder of property. where he or his tenant
or agent resides in the District, or by leav-
ing notice with some person of suitable
age at the residence or place of business
or such holder, agent or tenant, the return
TO be In writing and under oath. Another
amendment suggested by Mr. Trow is that
assessments for opening and widening al
leyS shall be made by the Commissioners
instead of by the collector of taxes, notice
OF such assessment to be given in the same
manner as provided for in cases of assess
ments for assessment work, and the penal.
ties TO run from the date of service of no.
tice of such assessments
