REMISSION OF POUND FEE.
Another application Made to the Dis
frlef Health Officer.

Norval T. Table. of 1907 Third Street
southeast, called upon the Health Officer
yesterday. requesting the remission of the
pound fee In the case of his pug dog. cap
tured by the pound men Mr. Tabler
stated that the animal in question had
been MANNED by being run over by car,
his left hind leg being of close 10 the
body. and in consequence was unable TO
run at large.
Mr.. Tabler explained TO DR.. Woodward
that the dog was a great favorite of his
fOGrteen-year-old daughter, and was highly
priced on that account He said further
that the dog at the time Of capture bad
on a collar and tag. and that the muzzle
had slipped off the nose and hung below
his jaw. Mr.. Tabler thought that under
the circumstances the pound Zee ought 10
be omitted.
DR.. Woodward explained to Mr.. Tabler
that the dor would be held for forty-eight
hours az he pound, and that the best
course to pursue was 10 redeem the dog.
10 state the facts in writing, and that he
would present the case TO the Commits
siOneTs who alone had the authority 10
remit the fee. DR.. woodward said in con-
nectiCu with the matter that the granting
of the request in this case would estab-
lish . bad precedent. He did not doubt
that NJ Tabler had stated the facts ex-
actly, and that there were. perhaps. strong
reasons for RENTING the fee in his case,
but there would most certainly be a hun
dred others who would advance the claim
that their dogs also had tag. collar, and
muZZle on az the time CT capture, thus
giving endless trouble In the enforcement
OF the law.

to the Commissioners, praying for the
cancellation OF general taxes against the
east half of 10; AS, Wright & Cox's sub
division Of Mount Pleasant, for the years
1874, 1875, 1880. 1888, 1885. and 1886.
In reporting upon the matter Andrew B.
DuvalI, the Attorney for the District. says:
1T appears that in the certified statement
Of taxes issued TO z. L. Schmidt, July /.
1898 the above mentioned taxes were
wholly omitted. These taxes were assessed
against the property while il was owned
by Joseph Harris.
Joseph Harris afterward deceased. and
in a proceeding in the Supreme Court Of
the District Of Columbia for a partition of
his real estate, f. l.. Schmidt and E. NJ

tees. conveyed the above mentioned part
of lot As TO Silas Harris and Frank Harris

Harris
The certified statement of taxes was OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Schmidt In connection with
the settlement of the account of the trus-
tees. In order to secure this lot in the
partition of their fathers estate, these
heirs borrowed money from the Perpetual
Building Association upon deed of trust.
the association acting upon the faith of
the said certified statement of taxes The
association, however. has as yet suffered
no loss by reason of the omission of the
above mentioned taxes from the certified
statement
"If there should be sale of the property
under the deed of trust, and the assoeia-
ton should become the purchaser, il would
be entitled to- have the taxes Cancelled;
but in the present situation of the case It
Is not so entitled.
''SiIas Harris and Frank Harris acquired
this property by descent from their father:

THE COMMISSIONERS THANKED
A Citizen of East Washington Ex-
presses Gratitude TO Them.

The District Commissioners are accus-

classes Of people, but 1t is not every day
that they are delighted with the perusal
Of letters commencing them for their ac-
ton and expressing appreciation Of their
efforts in behalf of the public. The rou-
tine OF official business has been bright
ened by the receipt Of such a letter from
Elra c. Palmer of 1914 ID Street northeast.
"A few days ago" writes Mr.. Palmer
Il called your attention to the violation Of
your regulations and what seemed to me
violation Of the law by the employees OF the
City and Suburban Railway company in
blocking this square with cars and in
dulging in noisy conduct between 5 and 6
oclock = the morning.

HOUSE NUMBERS LACKING
The Troubles of the District Build

The question Of house numbering is one
Buildings and his assistants. Their trou-
bles are not confined to the suburbs where
the streets seem to follow the ancient
COW paths, but the proper numbering Of
houses in the city is source OF much Of
fetal disturbance.
For instance, a report recently reached
the Office that several dwellings on Four
and-a-half Street, between F and G
Streets southwest, were without numbers,
as required by the building regulations.
An inspector was sent 20 Investigate and
Charles A. Hardness, the assistant in

both sides of the street with the correct
numbers. The others have no numbers,

fort has been made to correct erroneous
or duplicating numbers, wherever found,

many inspections thereof are required,

In transmitting the report OF Mr.. Hark-
ness TO the Commissioners John B. Brady,
the Inspector of Buildings. says: 1T is
true the considerable time is consumed
in prov ding house numbers, but | am IN
able 10 obtain any relief or assistance by
which this work can be accomplished with
out Sntrenching upon that which would be
utilized more proftably in the inspection
of work in progress of construction. until
the office is equipped with more assist
ants. l would suggest, however, that the
new assistant to be appointed to this Office
in July next be assigned to the care OF
and disposition of work OF a miscellaneous
character. such as house numbering COM
plants. etc. This arrangement will en-
able tie present inspectors to devote their
vhG;e lime to field inspection after that
dats. IN he mean time, as building oper-
att IS are very extensive, preference
should be given to the inspection OF con-
struction. cases of house numbering TO be
postponed until the new inspector is ap-
pointed"
The Commissioners have approved the
recommendations Of the Inspector OF
Buildings.
