Her LabOrs in Texas ExhaustinG to
Her Strength.

Miss Clara Barton president Of the Amer

the members of her staff, returned Satur-

months past Miss Barton has been direct
ing the cooperation of the society In the
distribution of relief supplies Throughout

DATE OF AN ERASURE.
Opinion by Attorney DuvalI Respect
ing Tax Cancellation.

Mr.. Frank A. Jones recently applied to
the District Commissioners for the cancel
lation of the general tax for the year 1893
against sublOt GO, square ST., assessed in
the name of f. A. Buckingham. 1t was
stated that May 20, 1896, a certified state
nent of taxes against said lot was issued
to f. L. White, attorney for w. S. Gustin,
who purchased it upon The faith Of said Ger
tificate. The letter press cOpybook of the
assessors office shows that the tax for
1898 was entered on the certificate. but
that the original certificate shows that the
year .1Sg3'' has been changed to 1882"
Mr.. White, IN a communication to the
Commissioners, stated that the certificate
was delivered to him in its present form,
and that no change or alteration ever
made thereon while in his possession, add
ing that the certificate was continuously in
his possession from the time he received
the same from the District office to July II,
1896, when the other taxes indicated there
on were paid. This certified statement of
taxes, says Mr.. A. B. Duvall, the attorney
for the District, to whom the Commission
ers referred the matter, furnished I'M
der the provisions of the act of Congress of
February 6, 1879 as amended May Ii, 1892,
relating to tax sales, providing that 1t shall
be the duty of the assessor to furnish a
certified statement ever his hand and Off
clal seal of all taxes and assessments due
and unpaid at the time of making such GER
tificate, and that such certificate shall be a
bar to the collection and recovery from
any subsequent purchaser of any tax or as
sessment omitted therefrom.
If" says Mr. Duvall in an opinion rend-
cred today, the certified statement of taxes
dated May 20, 1896. signed by the assessor
| and under his seal, was delivered to Mr..
White, and there was reported thereon the
general tax for 1892, it now appears, al
| though there had been an erasure and the
figure 90 had been written at the place of
| erasure so to make the year read 1892,
| ! am of the opinion that the District is
bound thereby, and that 1t is no answer to
| subsequent purchaser, who acts upon the
| faith of the certified statement of taxes
| that some unauthorized person changed the
| date of the year.
| 1T is the duty of the assessor, before he
| delivers or allows to be delivered, a certified
| statement of taxes, to inspect the same
| and see that the statement about to be de-
| livered is correct. The question of whether
or not the tax for the year 1893 should be
cancelled requested, is, therefore, de-
| pendent, in my opinion, upon the fact
! whether the alteration was made after the
| certified statement was delivered to Mr..
| White. If 1t was, then the present applica-
| ton should be denied. If 1t was not the
| application should be granted"

EXTENSION OF STREETS.
ImpracticabIe to Consider Two Cases
AT Same Time.

Mr. A. B. Duva1l the attorney for the
District In a statement made by him today
to the Commissioners furnished certain In
formation which will be of interest to those
who are concerned in the extension OF
streets A citizen several days ago re-
quested the Commissioners to inform him
why the proceedings for the extension OF
Pennsylvania avenue southeast have been
delayed. The inquiry was referred to Mr.
Duvall, who is in charge of such cases, and
he replied as follows:
THE provisions of the act of Congress
for the extension of Pennsylvania avenue
southeast, approved March 3, 1899, rela-
tive to the assessment of one-half OF the
damages, was similar to that contained IN
the act passed on the same day for the eX-
tension of S, 22l and Decatur streets. Our
Court of Appeals held that provision In
the latter act to be unconstitutional
Thereupon Congress, by the act For the
extension of Columbia road east of 18th
street, and for other purposes approved
June q. 1900, enacted that the provisions
of the last mentioned act relating to the
mode of proceeding and the assessment of
benefits should be applicable to the extern
sion of 18th street northwest to the extern
sion of Pennsylvania avenue southeast, the
extension Of Staughton street, the extern
sion of lexington place, the extension of
9th street and the extension of Howard
avenue.
I'm the cases of Columbia road east of
18th street. Columbia road and old 18th
street, Staughton street and Howard ave-
nue. juries of condemnation have been
summoned and awards have been filed, and
an order has been passed by the court in
the extension of 18TH, summoning a jury
on December T. 1900. All the street extern
sion cases have been and are proceeded
with in such order as is directed by the
Commissioners.
The 10th street extension will probably
occupy several months. 1t condemns and
takes the property of about 10 separate
owners, and the assessment of benefits will
extend to several hundred separate parcels
or lands. 1t is the most extensive and COM
plicated street condemnation in the whole
history of this District, and will involve an
expenditure of considerably more than a
million dollars
1T is entirely impractical BILE to conduct
two street extension cases at the same
time Indeed, do not see how it is posi-
