RESPECTING ASSESSMENTS.
Commissioner Beach Passes Upon
Opinion of Attorney DuvalI.

Captain Beach, the Engineer Commits
sioner of the District. in passing upon the
opinion of the attorney for the District rem
dered several days ago upon a statement
made by Mr.. E. ]. Stelwagen respecting
part Of lot l, block 81, Columbia Heights
in which the attorney advised against the
notation of pending assessments In tax sale
certificates, has recommended to his asso-
ciates a plan by which, he believes, the
difficulties mentioned can be avoided.
The attorney for the District gave as his
opinion that the proper course to pursue in
such matters would be to comply with the
law and note upon the certified statement
Of taxes only such taxes and assessments
as are due and unpaid at the time of max
ing the certificate. Captain Beach says ii
was formerly the custom for the special
assessment division, as soon az assessment
work was ordered by the Commissioners
to stamp upon all tax certificates for the
property affected the words assessment
pending" In some cases this statement
was made several months in advance of the
actual execution Of the work, and this led
he states, to objections on the part of prop
erty owners, in that a prospective charge
was Of record against their property for
which the work had not even been com
menced, and it was at their request that
the custom was discontinued.
This" says Captain Beach. is an objec-
ton that the assessment is frequently not
made for a month or more after the COM
pletion Of the work, SO that a tax certifi-
cate issued between the time of the COM
pletion of the work and the time Of making
the assessment would not show that there
were any assessment charges for work
known to have been done, and would,
therefore, not protect innocent purchasers,
for whose benefit the tax certificate is pur-
chased. 1t seems to me that both difficult
ties could be avoided by notifying the spe-
cial assessment division soon as the work
is commenced finished, as the Commits
SiOperc determine which Dpti6ca-
ton the special assessment clerk shall note
on all tax certificates issued for the prop
erty affected the words assessment pend
ing until the assessment is made"
This recommendation of Captain Beach is
now before his associates for their consid-
Grafton.

SERIOUSLY INJURED.
John j. Mafer Knocked Down by EIec-
tric Chr.

tric Car.
John ]. Maier, sixty-eight years old, liv-
ing at College Park, Prince Georges coun-
ty, Md, was seriously and perhaps fatally
injured by a City and Suburban car last
night while on his way home. He got off
one car and started to cross the track in
frcnt of another moving in the opposite d.
rection. Before he could get out of the
way of the car, after he discovered his mis-
take, he was struck and knocked down.
The motorman did all he could to prevent
an accident, 1t Is said, but was unable to
do so.
After being knocked down Mr.. Maier was
dragged short distance. When picked up
it was believed that he would die, but he
stood the shock well, and after a little de-
lay he was removed to the Emergency Hos
pital. He was brought to the city on a
car as far as 18th and G streets, where he
was transferred to the ambulance.
The doctors at the hospital found that
Mr.. Maier had sustained three fractures of
the left leg and was also injured about the
head and body. While his injuries are ex-
tremely serious Mr.. Maier may recover.

EXCEPTIONS TO AWARD.
Property Owners Object to Proceed
ings in Columbia Rond Case.

About thirty exceptions to the award Of
the jury which had the assessment of bene-
fits connected with the widening of Column
bia road and old 10th street were filed dur
ing yesterday, the last day allowed by the
court for putting such papers on record.
There are in all more than half hundred
exceptions to the jurys verdict now before
the court. In a few days the attorney for
the District will apply for an order from
the court confirming the award, and at that
time argument on the exceptions will be
heard.
of the jury of condemnation declare gener-
ally that the alleged benefits assessed are
excessive, and that the jury's findings are
unjust and unreasonable. 1t is further
claimed by them that the act of Congress
under which the assessments were made is
unconstitutional and void because it does
not provide for due process of law in ascer-
tanning such alleged benefits; because it
does not provide for notice to persons whose
land will be affected by assessments; be-
cause it does not provide for preservation
of any record Of the proceedings or teSti-
mony, nor for taking proof under the ex-
ceptions so that exceptions now filed can
be effective, and because the act in real
effect arbitrarily requires the jury to assess
one-haf Of the amount awarded for dam
ages upon adjacent land without regard to
what benefit is actually conferred.
The law gave the Commissioners power to
set aside the benefit award in case it did
not equal one-half the damages allowed.
