For twas God who gave and took me
Now I'm numbered with the dead.

And sorrow shades our brows;

be S2SS00: with brick on q concrete

cover from end to end 4,400 lineaI feet,
with frontage or building line of over
1.2G0 feet, which, from unquestioned au-

thereby increasing values $4,000 or
more. from which an increased tax the
property owners of the avenue will pay
-Sl,452S or $26,40 more than the interest
on the bonds issued; besides the thous-
ands of dollars worth of materials re-
moved from the avenue that the prop
erty owners have been assessed for to
improve the streets in other parts of
the ward which would reduce the costs
of the streets benefited. But "Taypayer
wishes to see them taxed again for SO
per cent. of cost, thereby making them
pay twice for the same thing, which
does appear TO me as equitable and just,
especially as by reason Of the improve

be more or less benefited.

themselves of the acts of their Local
Board. Will not criticise or attribute
their actions. as Taxpayer thinks, to
selfish motives
Taxpayer" can obtain the informa-
tlon he desires as to how many of the
board owns property on Park and
Brambleton avenues by consulting ths
city Commissioner of Revenue, or City
Collector. which will give him another
opportunity of letting the public hava

Editor of Virginan-Pilot:

Editor of Virginian-Pilot:
My attention has been called to an
article in the Ledger of the 2lst instant,
signed Taxpayer" who states that
the Local Board of Bramblcton pro-
poses to spend from $4,000 to $4,000 in
improving Brambleton and Park ave-
rues without the usual and customary
assessment. which would be unjust to
the property owners on other streets
OF the ward Taxpayer" also states
that the present board, now in control,
will be the last to hold Office; also stat
ing that the money raised for the I'M
Drovements was by taxes on all, and
the board has no right to use it for the
special benefit of the few, and the funds
ROW in hand would, il used with equity
and Justice and in the manner pre-
scribed by the Councils, pave Bramble
ton. Park, Levitt, Highland. Reservoir
and. perhaps, one other street. TAX
payer" also wishes to know how many
of the board owns property on the two
avenues
In answer to the above misstatements
I think Taxpayer" should inform
himself as to the conduct OF the affairs
of the ward by the Local Board before
rushing IN print to air his personal
opinion and prejudices, which is cal
culated to mislead.
The present board has not considered
The matter of assessing the property
owners. but have looked forward with
the view of improving all the streets in
the ward. probably in Il way that is
different from the usual and customary
manner, as suggested by Taxpayer"
inasmuch as the Court of Appeals has
decided that the usual and customary
way in the past was illegal. The voters
of Brambleton Ward voted to increase
taxes for the purpose of enabling the
Local Board to meet the increasing cur
rent expenses and to pay interest on
bonds TO be issued for general and
special improvements. 1t was q special
act of the Legislature granting an Issue
of Sl50,000 OF bonds for sewerage, water
and street improvements, and every in
telligent voter understood that Park
and Brambleton avenues were contem-
plated at that jime. Another special
act has been granted since permitting
$4,000 more in bonds to be issued for
street improvements, even without the
consent of the property owners and
without any conditions being imposed,
consequently it rests with the board
and the Councils to place the assess
ment as they may deem proper and
legal.
The board has taken no action on the
matter. consequently / fail to see how
Taxpayer has arrived at his conclu-
sions that the board desired to favor a

Columbia, S. c., March 2o.-Dispen-

whskey dealers in Charleston have
been getting whiskey shipped through
the customs house and taking it out in
small packages. This makes the GUS

liquor. Colonel John r. Tolbert, In

let the building be searched. Chief

replied that he would send special

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
THE ARMY APPROPRIATION BILL
ADOPTED.
(By Telegraph to -Pilot.)

(By Telegraph to Vlrginlan-Pilot.)
Washington, March 29.-After four
days of debate the House to-day passed
the army appropriation bill. AS passed
the bill is only slightly modified from
the form in which 1t came from the
committee. One of the last amend
nents adopted opens the Soldiers
Homes TO the officers and men of the
volunteer and regular armies incapaci-
tated by service during or since the
Spanish war. The chief incident of the
day was q defense of the War Depart
ment by Mr.. Parker, of New Jersey,
against the charge OF reckless eXtrslva
gance in fitting up the transport Sum-
ner, made by Mr.. briggs. OF New York,
yesterday.
Mr. McRae, Democrat, of Arkansas,
moved to strike from the provision
for the manufacture or purchase" of
small arm ammunition the words "or
purchase" He declared that the gov
ernment had ample facility for the
manufacture of ammunition. Mr.. Hull
vigorously opposed the amendment. 1t
might be necessary to purchase am
1nunition and the hands Of the govern
ment should not be tied. He called at
tention to our helpless condition for
lack of ammunition at the opening of
the Spanish war. and said he favored
the accumulation of munitions of
war.
Mr. Underwood, of Alabama, favored
the amendment. He was opposed to
placing discretionary powers to pur-
chase III the hands of the War De-
partment. He was inclined to think it
led TO extravaganza and jobbery. and
called the attention of the House to the
facts elected yesterday regarding the
transport Sumner. This reference to
the Sumner aroused Mr.. Parker who
detailed the history of the vessel which.
he said, had been wildly distorted.
lie said the Sumner was an old COL
lier refiitted. and produced itemiZed
figures from the War Department to
prove that there was no undue extra
vagance. The alleged solid silver SER
vice. which Mr.. briggs said yesterday
cost $4,000, was plated ware and cost
all told but $1,000. The amendment was
lost.
The provision for firing morning and
evening gun at State soldiers and
sailors homes went out on point of
order made by Mr. McRae, of Arkansas.
This completed the bill and the COM
mittee then went back to several points
temporarily passed over during the
reading OF the measure An amend
ment was adopted changing the cllGi-
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-03-30

the terms of the charter for $l2,207, and
was renamed the hearney.
1T was shown that thirteen vessels
had been purchased by the Quarter
masters Department since March 4,
1897. exclusive of those purchased for
the army transport service for trans
pcrtation incident to the Spanish war.
These included the ferryboat John
Hancock, the steam tugs General Hunt.
Martha and John Barry, and ten steam
launches, at total cost of SIP, 4T9. with
$9,525 for repairs.
Forty-nine vessels of all classes were
purchased for the army transport SER
vice during and since the Spanish war.
Including about twenty-five small craft,
such as tugs. launches and lighters,
purchased in the Philippines. The total
purchase price of these vessels was
$S074, ass and the total cost of refltting
and repairing was s5,1S9,093. The most
expensive vessels were the transports
Grant. Logan, Sheridan. Sherman.
Thomas and Hancock. The purchase
price of the first five named was $780,
600 each. and that of the Hancock $780,.
600. The expense of fitting up these
vessels is stated as follows: Hancock,
s5435l6; Grant. $32S. 459; Logan, S4S3S39;
Sheridan, 1899, 1863; Sherman, $526, 1854;
Thomas. $S35.36
1t thus appears that the Hancock
iOBdU anu SIITlildil COSL ONci one lilll-
lion dollars each. and the other three
named Il slightly less amount. The pur-
chase price of the transport Meade was
100000 and s37i.000 was expended in
fitting her up. The purchase price Of
the Sumner was Sl6O.594 and $500
additional was expended in fitting her
up.
The original cost of the hospital ship
Relief was $4,000 and s265.59 was eX-
pended In her transformation. The hos
pt:al ship Missouri has cost the gov
eminent so far si30,61o, of which a little
more than half was expended in adapt
ing her to hospital purposes. Two of
the large transports. Burnside and
Hooker. arc captured Spanish steamers.
All the principal transports were ac-
CURED under the terms of their char
tors and We're paid for out OF the APP
preparation for the national defense.
There We're lat vessels chartered for
the transport service, at n total cost of
$l0,63l .5l9 for services rendered. and n
total cost OF 81 .S9i,3i2 in restoring them
to their original condition on cancella-
ton of charters. OF the chartered YES
sells 70 were attached to the Atlantic
fleet. at u cost for service of S2.SS2.2Si
and for repairs OF $l75,5S0. The re-
naming GS chartered vessels were en-
Dloycd on the Pacific, at cost of
