Charles w Russell. of the Department

S576.65. This proceeding paying me for
part of the lot when but $50 were left was
sufficiently extraordinary. The present as
easements, however, rise into the domain
OF the grotesque.
They purport to be made under the act
OF August Z, 1894, concerning assessment
and permit work, to be charged in part to
abutting property. There is no doubt that
my land is property and there is equally
no doubt that it abuts on the Sidewalk.
In fact the abutting is about all it does
or is good for 1t abuts on two streets
abutting, few properties of the same size
could compare with it. But is it reall;
supposed by the persons attending to sucn
business that Congress intended by the act
referred to, to charge the expense Of i'm
proyement to people treated and left as l
have been With regard to $50 feet, for
merly part CT building lot? The statute
OF 1894 speaks of notice TO lot owners and
OF lots. Il concerns a system of actual or
theoretical permits to property owners to
increase the convenience Of their property
by sidewalks, sewers, etc, along the
frontage OF it. Is It not unjust and abb
surd to apply such a law to me and my
poor $50 feet? l cannot build a house on
lnis property neItheF can use IL as
farm What possible utility can sewer
or sidewalk be to ii or its owner?
1T seems 10 me that what really ought
to be done. if tie Board has the power, is
to pay me s5f6.65. If il has not, think at
least that ii ought TO see that sewers and
sidewalks are made at the cost of the pGb-
lie or Of lot owners and not OF IiiIs.
J. W. Daniel the Special Assessment
Clerk, in reporting on the matter at the
instance Of the Commissioners, stated that
the assessments against the property of
Mr.. Russell had been properly laid in ac-
eordance with the act of 1894, which pro-
vides that property shall be assessed
according to the number of linear feet
abutting upon the work done.
1t IS understood that the matter will be
referred to the Attorney of the District
for an opinion.

nends that Mr.. Harrison and those in

that Mr.. Harrison be advised that the
