DEEMED A PRIVATE ALLEY.
Space in Square 70I to BE Listed for
Taxation.

Taxation.
Mr. E. Erskine Miller some time ago ask
ed the District Commissioners to open the
four-foot alley keading into square 79I from
North Carolina avenue. The matter was
referred to the attorney for the District.
who reported that the alley first appears
in the subdivision of parts of lots 2 and 3
in 1872, and that nothing on the records
shows that 1t was Intended as a private
circumstance, he explained, may be over
come by the fact that it's area has not been
taxed since 1872, and that the plat of the
subdivision does not show that it was in
tended for the exclusive benefit of the lots
in the subdivision.
The attorney further stated that if the
alley was original one the title would be
in the United States, and no title could be
acquired by adverse possession. But, rot
being an original alley, and the fee simple
title being in the adjoining lot owners he
said. there is a question whether it may
not be eXtinguished by adverse possession
He suggested that if the Commissioners
deem that the public interests require The
structed it should be notified to remove the
obstruction, and. on failure 10 do so, pro-
ceedngS should be taken against them
Capt. Beach, the Engineer Commissioner
reported that in his opinion it is inadvisa-
lie to retain possession of the alIey which
ne describes as narrow, crooked one He
therefore recommended that owing to the
circumstances, it be regarded as private
alley, and that the assessor be directed tn
place it upon the tax books for taxation
which recommendations Capt Beach's as,
sociateS have approved.
