G STREET EXTENSION.
The Question Regarding Title to
Land I'm the Bomford Estate.

After a thorough Investigation of the
facts the Engineer Commissioner has
recommended to his associates that steps
be taken TO ascertain the amount OF taxes
due Oh certain land lying in Q Street
northwest. This tract is now occupied for
Public uses and has never been dedicated
TO the District. Furthermore, the George
Bomford estate, through its attorneys, has
filed a suit for trespass and for damages
to the amount of S34 coo. In case judgment
is received by the plaintiff, the attorneys
in the case have signified TO the Commits
sioners that they will dedicate the land
to the District for the sum of $4,000, which
they consider the tract worth.
With reference TO the title in the prop
erty one of the attorneys of the estate
claiming it recently wrote to the Commits
sioners, saying that when the tract OF
land called "Kalorama' was subdivided
into a number of lots and streets, among
which was Q Street, it appears that Y
Street was not opened between twenty
second and Twenty third Streets, a dis
lance of 234 feet having a width of 80 feet.
In view of the facts Captain Beach
recommends to the Commissioners
that the Board of Assistant As
SCISSORS be instructed to appraise
the property and to list it for taxa
ton purposes, and that the Assessor be re
quested to inform the Commissioners OF
the amount of taxes due to date on said
property. This step Captain Beach thinks
necessary for the proper protection of the
interests of the District.
1t is understood that the other Com
missioners will concur in the views OF Cap
tain Beach and that after settling the tax
question steps will be taken TO acquire
the land.

COLLECTION OF TAXES
A Bill TO Facilitate the Work Sub
mitted TO Congress.
The District Commissioners Recon-
mend Its Early Passage Being
Necessary to the Installation of
the System of Records and Ac-
counts Recently Adopted by Them.

The District Commissioners yesterday
sents 80 both houses of Congress the draft
of bill Ito regulate the collection of
taxes in the District Of Columbia" with
a recommendation that ii be promptly en-
acted. 1t is explained by the Commission
ers that the legislation proposed in the
bill is necessary to enable them 20 put
into operation system of records and ac-
counts which has recently been adopted
and which is designed TO facilitate the
transaction of business in the assessing
and collecting of taxes, and for the greater
convenience of the public having business
with the Tax Department
The Commissioners say that in their
opinion no advantage is derived either by
the taxpayers or by the municipality from
the existing law prescribing the payment
of general taxes in two installments. On
the contrary, the Commissioners think
that this requirement is the cause of much
embarrassment in the administration of
the Tax Department. The bill proposed
for enactment is as follows:

of Representatives Of the United States OF
America in Congress assembled, That

DOUBLING THE GUARDS.
The Commissioners Favor More
Vltchmen ut the Male Workhouse.

Replying to the House resolution Of en-
quiry relative to the appointment of ad-
Gitional guards at the male workhouse, the
District Commissioners have recommended
that the number be doubled. This action
was determined upon after receiving the
report of the Intendant CT the Washington
Asylum, to whom the resolution was re-
ferred. n this report the Intendant said:
An increased number of guards for this
institution is greatly needed. The hours of
duty are too long and by doubling the
number of guards the service would be ma
terially improved. There are at present
six oyerseers at $500 each per annum and
five watchmen at 1865 each per annum,
making an aggregate of s5,425 a year for
salaries. | estimate $50 per annum for
board for each additional man employed,
making 81, $50, so that the total additional
expense to be appropriated annually would
be 81 075"
