H H. DarneiIle, the District Assessor,
has reported to The Commissioners upon
the views Of the Business Mems Assoesa-
ton expressed at hearing on October Is.
At that time Thomas G. Hensey. speaking
for the association, made strong appeal
for relief from the bnrdensome penalties
and interest charges upon delinquent
taxes. The ground was taken that penal
ties on such taxes amounting to Il per
cent year, together with interest at 10
per cent per annum on property sold at
tax sales worked hardship upon the peo-
pie OF the District. 1t was maintained
that the burden falls upon that class of
propeiLy holders who are least able TO
bear it.
Mr. Darneilie. In his statement to the
Commissioners on the subject, says: The
subject matter relates 10 penalties and in
terest on taxes and the arguments pre-
sented are entitled to the most careful
consideration. The imposition OF penal
ties for failure to comply with the re-
quirements of law must be conceded nee
essary in all business relations, but es-
peeialIy sc in enforcing the collection of
delinquent taxes The penalty OF ] per
cent a h.onth is deemed conservative, and
works nc hardship upon a large number OF
taxpayers, ard in majority Of cases ap-
plies only to those who could be classed as
intentional delinquents-
The cost OF advertising taxes in ar
rears has been decreased by late enact
ment from SI.20 for each lot to SO cents,

cover the expense
The suggestion that some provision OF
law be enacted vesting the Commissioners
with power to remit penalties and inter
est, and even cancel taxes where the
equities are strong enough 10 warrant it,
is embodied in my last annual report, and
it is hoped that legislation may be pro-
cured TO that end
AT the legular aanaul sale for general
taxes the accrued penalties and interest
are included in said sale, and it would ap-
pear 10 be in the line of good administra-
ton TO charge interest from date of sale
to date OF redemption at the rate OF per
cent per annum, in lieu of 10 per cent per
anDum as now provided by law on ali
property bid in at said sale by the Dis
trict of Columbia. The acts of Congress
relative TO special assessments provide as
follows
0ne-third Of the assessment shall be
paid within sixty days from date of no.
tice OF assessment, one-third shall be paid
within one year from date OF service, and
one-third SithiR two years from date of
service, vi interest at the rate Of s
pe- cent per annum from date OF service
Of notice upon all amounts that remain
unpaid at the expiration OF sixty days after
date OF service. If eli instalIments are
pat5 witgtin sixty days there are no in
terest charges When assessments are
made for special assessments and also for
Mater main taxes, the amount is paid IN
full by the District on the completion Of
the work. and in majority of eases It IS
two or three years before the District is
reimbursed and under these cfreum-
stances the rate of interest is not deemed
exeessIve
The foregoing is a concise statement
OF the Eiews OF this olfiee and the same is
submitted Tor the consideration OF the
Commissioners.

This year starts with much Of the
years business already done, and ell
comparisons will prove misleading IT
that fact is not taken into account.
Last year the certainty Of great i'm"
provement had come before tho year
opened, and there was rush to get In
orders before works became crowded
and prices advanced. This year the
works are already crowded for months
ahead in most lines, andprices had AL
ready advanced SO far that recoil had
already commenced in some branches.
and was thought probable in others.
With the exception of WOODEN manu-.
features, the chief industries have NEE
less new business in January than last
year, though deliveries on previous con-
tracts have been larger than year ago.
Wheat rose cent, but soon reacted.
Atlantic exports were only ,466, 50S
bushels, flour included, for the week.
Pacific exports have been 4.209, 800
bushels in five weeks, against I, GO, $50
bushels last year.
Speculation in cotton has raised the
price to So cents, without improve
ment in the demand. The receipts
from plantations still fall so far behind
last years that low estimates of yield
are expected. &
Wool is rather weaker in some
grades, but stronger in others, SO that
the average of quotations is steady, not
withstanding some sales at concessions.
The iron and steel industry is so far
tied up by contracts reaching through
most of the year, that the effect Of pro-
duction exceeding consumption is fels
only in some instances.

Tho Work Of a Eien(l.

Walla Walla, Feb. 10.-Franl
Royce, farmer, living IL miles north
east of this city, ON the Washington &
Columbia River railroad, left the city
this afternoon in drunken condition.
When he reached Dixie he became
involved in "a fight with man named
Rufus Woods, biting his nose nearly
of. Royce proceeded to the home OF
his grandfather, b. F. Royce. with
whom he had been living, about two
miles above Dixie. Woods followed in
pursuit OF Royce, and the two men
continued their struggles in the pres
ence of the elder Royce. Frank Royce
pulled a gun and shot ut Woods, but
missed and killed his grandfather.
Young Royce then fired several more
shots ut Woods. but without effect.
