Argument was begun yesterday in the
Supreme Court of the United States by
Clarence A Brandenburg on behalf of the

known as the Kali tract The owners of
the Kali tract filed exceptions to the YER

overruled and at the same time confirmed
the assessment
Mr. Davidson and his co-trustees appeal

fected, Mr.. Hunt thinks this case where
the necessity for the construction of new
sidewalks has been forced upon the Com
missioners out of proper consideration for
public interests, and the assessment is an
unavoidable result. Mr.. Hunt expresses

which each property holder Will be sub

The Commissioners today replied TO the
communication of Mrs. Margaret CRUSH
ank, residing at 1Z2T Thfrty-ffrst Street
northwest who complained TO them OF al
legged unjust arrests of Italian fruit Vend-
ers. The reply consisted chiefly of a re-
port made upon the subject of the COM
plant by Richard Sylvester, Superinteud-
ent of Police.
Major Sylvester informed the Commits
sioners that there is no disposition on the
part OF the department to be harsh toward
the fruit vendors, but the law he says re-
quires that they keep moving, except at
such times as they may be making sales,
and the policemen are charged with the
enforcing of this law. Members Of the
force, he says, have repeatedly advised
vendors against taking up stands n and
about the main thoroughfares Of the city
where street cars are being operated and
crowds are going and coming, especially
On Saturday evenings, but the Major de-
clares that the warnings have gone IN
needed and that it has become strictly a
matter of duty on the part of the officers
to see that the law Is enforced.
Major Sylvester tells the Commissioners
that the main difficulty of arranging loca-
lions for these people is that they will not
accept of such privileges as have been
heretofore offered them, but persist in get
ting near the market houses and in con-
=
common welfare. Furthermore, complains
the Major, when they stand in the vi
cinity of Pennsylvania Avenue people buy
fruit of them and throw the peels into
tree boxes and into the cutters, all IN vi
oIation of the police regulations He also
states that with the limited force at his
DISPOSAL drastic measures are sometimes
necessary TO prevent undue advantage be-
ing taken of the municipal regulations.
c. B. Hunt, the Computing Engineer, has
forwarded to the Commissioners a recon-
mendation that the work of laying cement
sidewalks on the north side OF G Street
between Ninth and Tenth streets north
west, on the south side OF G Street, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets. and on the
west side Of Fifth Street, between T and G
streets, be included in the next list of work
to be advertised under the assessment sys-
TEN. After stating the specifications of
the work In detail Mr. Hunt informs the
Commissioners that 1t is necessary for the
public health. safety, and comfort.
Mr.. Hunt says that objections have been
made to the work on the west side of Fifth
Street. He recommends, however, that the
sidewalks be laid In spite of the protests
for the reason that the widening of the
roadway recently completed was neces-
sity from public considerations He states
that this widening of the streets practi-
eally threw one-half of the whole sidewalk
into the roadway, and the necessity for a
new walk was thus developed.
The law requires one-half the cost of
all curb and sidewalk work to be made a
matter of special assessment against the
AUDITING property, and while 1t is the
! practice of his Office to regard the wishes
and protests of the property holders af-
