some plan which would include the scope
Of the Investigation in order that they
could present il 10 the full committee at

not think it would be proper for the

The celebration was thoroughly discussed

DENIES THE LIABILITY.
NJ. i. Weller Says He Cannot Abate
an Alleged Nuisance.

The Commissioners received letter from
NJ. 1. Weller some time ago stating he
had been greatly annoyed by the Health
Office officials in regard to an alleged
nuisance which is said to exist on lot
owned by him. It appears that the lot was
owned by Peter Johnson. now deceased. and
was bought at a tax sale, and the deed
gives Mr. Weller no authority TO take pos
session of the property. The nuisance. or
what the District officials allege to be
such. is an old shauty which is claimed as
unfit for habtation.
The papers in the case were submitted
to the Attorney for the District for an
opinion as to whether the purchaser OF
the lot at a tax sale can be held liable for
existing nuisanees when the purchaser is
not in possession of the property. The At
torney holds that as far as the District
is concerned Mr.. Weller is the legal owner
of the place and he may be proceeded
against TO abate any nuisance that exists
on the lot
