George r. A. Wiley. of ia F Street
southeast. has written to the Commits
sioners. asking whether the recommen-
dation of the Assessor. as recently pub
lished in The Evening Times, to the eff
feet that all general taxes not paid and
due prior to the year 1900. can be paid
next May, with interest at per cent
per annum, will become a law next
year. Assessor Darneille, in speaking
about the matter yesterday, said that the
writer probably had reference TO that
law passed at the last session CT Con
gress authorizing the payment Of taxes
for the current year in one instailment
in May, 1901. Mr.. Darneille explained
that the law was passed to allow the
Assessors Office to install the card sys-
TEN of accounts, the November pay
ment of taxes being suspended Tor the
one year for the purpose named. The
law, of course. will not be operative
after the present fiscal year.

The Commissioners yesterday approved
Mr. Ross recommendation to reject all the
bids for the sale of land to the District for
the site OF the proposed municipal hospital.
The ground for action of the Commits
siOners was that the prices Of the several
tracts offered were all too high, some OF
them exceeding the amount Of the ap-
preparation. The Commissioners think they
can make better terms at private sale than
by competitive bidding, at least In this
case. Something like fifty proposals were
received for the sale of a site for the hes
pital
The Commissioners caused to be pre-
pared q statement of the acreage SQUARE
feet to each bid, and other details OF the
leading hospitals of the world, and they
have now an intelligent idea OF the size OF
the tract needed for the municipal hospital
site. 1t Is well known that they will not
pay eyorbitant prices for property nor pay
any fancy amount for large grounds ana
slightly surroundings. The matter has re-
duced itself TO a cold business proposition,
in which they will seek suitable place ana
pay a reasonable price therefor.

81 have been directed by the Board Of
Medical Supervisors to request that in the
estimates Of the expenses of the District Of
Columbia for the year ending June 30, 1902,
an item Of 81, 800 for compensation Of the
members Of the Board Of Medical Super
visors and Of the several boards of medical
examiners be included, payment to be made
TO the members OF such boards at the rate
of $40 for each meeting attended. The
members Of these boards serve solely in
the interest OF the community, and the
amount Of work devolving upon them is, as
a rule considerable, involving attendance
on from eight to sixteen meetings and the
examination Of from one TO fifty or more
candidates each year.
While under existing law they are en-
titled to any balance which may be in pos
session OF the Board Of Medical Super
yisors at the end OF each fiscal year, the
amount so received is Insignificant. The
lay members Of the Board Of Medical Su-
peryisors have received from such balance,
by order OF the Commissioners, an average
OF S1s.75 per annum. The average amount
received per annum by each member Of the
Board Of Medical Examiners has been
s24.s4, and the average received by each
member of the Board OF Homeopathic Med
zeal Examiners $176. The members OF the
Board OF Eclectic Medical Examiners have
never received any compensation whatso-
