RECOMMENDS CANCELLATION.
Report by Captain Beach Concerning
Water Main Taxes.

ron+ain Reach. the Engineer Commits
sfoner of the District. has recommended 10
his associates that a favorable report De
made by the Commissioners upon House
bill 9011, to cancel the assessment OF wafer
r,.,, +exes IN Brishtwood avenue, and 1t
is understood such a report will be mace
Cantain Beach suggests in his report that
tho titla of the bill should be changed so
as to make 1t read: ITO provide Tor tne re-
assessment of water main taxes on brisn,,
wood avenue in the District OF CoiuIhpia,
az the object of the proposed act Is TO cam
col the water main assessment levied unoer
a former law which made the assessment
payable from date of notice, ana pIoriue
for its reassessment under the present law,
which does not make the assessment due
and collectible until water has been intro
duced into the premises
The water main in question was laid dur
ing the summer of 1895. 1t runs from the
Reno reservoir along county roads TO
Brightwood, and thence along BrshtWooo
avenue until 1t turns eastward toward Ia
koma The portion along the roads west
of. Brightwood was not assessed against
the abutting propertT, as the main was
regarded through that section as a trunk
main, not subject to be tapped by tne prop
erty owners without special permission.
The assessment however. is said by Cap
tain Beach to be correct and regular. ana
was levied in all respects in accordance
with law 1t was made against forty-ntne
parcels of land, and he adds that from an
examination of the amounts of the assess
ments in the individual cases It will be seen
that the ground is in large holdings, and
may be really considered as agricultural
land.
The main, says Captain Beach, should
properly have been regarded as a trunk
main for Takoma Park and he thinks 1t
was an error of judgment to make the as
sessment The assessment being large. and
such a small proportion of them having
been paid, and those the smaller ones, Cap
tain Beach says it is but equity to grant
the parties interested an opportunity to de-
lay payment of them until such time as the
land is cut into smaller holdings and used
for other purposes than agriculture. He
has carefully investigated the matter. ex-
