APPEAL DISMISSED,
Case of Guy f. PadEett Against Dis
trict of Columbia.


trict of Columbia.
The Court of Appeals of the District of
Columbia has dismissed the appeal of Guy
f. Padgett from Judgment of the Su-
preme Court of the District of Columbia
dismissing suit brought by him against
the District Of Columbia to cancel arrears
OF general taxes assessed against SS.25
acres of land on Hamilton road.
Mr. Padgett instituted suit in the Su-
preme Court Of the District to cancel a
large amount Of taxes in arrears, alleging
that the assessments were void because
they merely described the land as ''89 %
acres. Hamilton road,'' without further de-
scriptiOn, and because the assessment rolls
failed to contain the dollar mark The at
torneys for the District moved to quash the
writ of certiorari issued when the petition
was filed, and filed in support Of the mo-
ton an affidavit made by the Commission
ers wherein they stated that the taxes
sought to be Cancelled were general taxes:
that they were, in fact, assessed against
the property described in the petition; that
the collection of general taxes is absolutely
essential for the ability of the District to
discharge it's manifold municipal functions
with punctuality, and that it is of the ut
most Importance both to the municipal
government and to the federal government
under the system prevailing in this jurisdic-
tion that the mode adopted for the speedy
collection of general taxes should be de-
iayed or impeded as little as possible by
the interference of the courts.
The court below granted the motion of
the attorneys for the District, quashed the
writ and dismissed the petition, and that
action the Court of Appeals has affirmed
1t Is understood that the effect of this
decision is to wholly arrest assaults upon
general taxes because of imperfect descrip-
ton or other technical reasons. and to
result in the saving of a large amount of
money to the District. Messrs Padgett
