The Property of Mrs. BuehIer Wrong
~ Advertised ns Delinquent.
The District Commissioners are in re-
ceipt Of a communication from Mrs. u.
Buehler in which she complains Of unfair
treatment n the hands OF the authorities.
She informs the Commissioners that a
mistake was made in compiling the list
Of delinquent taxpayers for taxes in ar
rears July l. 1899 She says that she
finds in the list as printed her name and
property, lots % and 2S, block 6. Ivy City.

when, as she AYERS. the taxes were not
only paid, but promptly
Mr. Buohler states in her letter that she
considers the matter Of sufficient weight
to form the basis Of just complaint, for
she declares she was treated in a Similar
manner last year. and that calling atten-
tion TO the fact at that time did not have
the effect Of preventing the recurrence OF
the same mistake this year. Continuing,
the letter reads:
Without wishing TO appear resentfui,

lax, 10 say the least. and, furthermore. I

In the shifting Of departments, incident
TO the Inauguration of the new Beard OF
Commissioners, the collection and disposal
Of Mr.. RCss. Now, under the new order Of
things which will be established by the
pending District Appropriation bill, it viii
! be necessary to group together in one ce-
partment the collection and disposal OF
waste including ashes, garbage. etc
Hitherto the removal Of ashes has been
in charge of the Street and Alley Cleaning
Department, and the collection ard d.s-
posal c; garbage in charge of the Health
Officer In anticipation of the propos d
change. and in order to place both services
under one management, the Commission
ers have transferred the collection and as
posal Of garbage and the removal Of deal
animals 10 the Street and Alley Cleaning
Deper ir=est- 1t is not proposed by this
necessarily TO reorgsnize the service except
as that shall be required under a new con-
tract, but simply 10 prepare for carrying
out the law.
Though this point was carefully ox-
planned by the Commissioners TO those
most directly interested, there is said 10
be some feeling among the minor District
officials at the change. 1t is stated also
that the transfer of the garbaga fe-Vicz
from DR.. Woodward to Mr.. Stutler vas
chiefly brought about by the fact that the
latter has mere time TO devote to The wat
ter than the former. and that the transfer
was in the interests Of a better divis On Of
labor.
Commissioner Ross has authorized the
following statement:
In the new assignment Of duties among
the Commissioners, the collection and re-
moval of garbage and dead animals was
placed under my Immediate supervision. in
care Of the Superintendent Of Street Clean
ing Department. This was done TO appor-
tion the various departments among the
Commissioners on an equitable basis. and
with view TO placing the removal Of all
city waste under one super intendent.
This arrangement was not made because
OF any inefhciency in the management OF
the garbage service on the part OF the
| Health Officer On the contrary, his con
duct OF that Important branch Of the pub

The delegation explained 10 the Commis-
sioner that the citizens Of Northeast
Washington have been without a local rep
resentative on the Board OF Trustees for
some years, and as result the conditions
Of their schools were worse than in any
other section OF the city. Il was stated
that they had more compulsory halliday

TO ADMINISTER oATHs.
Bill Authorizing Naval anu Marine
Officers TO Do So.

Officers to Do SO.
The Committee on Naval Affairs OF the
House has favorably reported the bill 20
amend an act authorizing certain officers
OF the Navy and Marine Corps to admins
ter oaths. The Secretary Of the Navy in
setting forth the reason for the passage Of
this bill said:
1T is provided by section % OF the act
appro vel March 8, 1899 entitled An act 10
reorgl uize and increase the efficiency Of
the personnel Of the Navy and Marine
Corps c. the United States" that the oath
OF allegiance provided fer officers and men
OF the -,Tmy and Marine Corps
shall be administered hereafter 10
the officers and men OF the Navy. but no
authority is granted for the administration
Of the oath other than that provided in the
act Of January %, 1885.
Under this act the commanding officer
is the only officer on board a ship OF the
Navy empowered 20 administer an cath. In
drafts OF recruits enlisted at inland cities
by recruiting officers of tie Navy and
transferred at Government expense 10 re-
ceiviag ships at navy yards, cases have
arisen where some of the recruits. although
having signed the shipping articles and
been taken up on the records Of the Navy
De 1artment as enlisted at inland cities,
have refused, upon arrival on board the re-
ceiving ship. to take the oath of allegiance
before the commanding officer. There has
been no alternative but to discharge such
men from their enlistments, as such en-
listments are not legally complete until the
oath Of allegiance has been subscribed 10 IN
accordance with law Such a condition is
found to be a source OF annoyance for in
cases of apprentices who refuse to sub
scribe TO the oath of allegiance it has been
found necessary to hold them until money
for transportation to their homes is fur
nished by their parents.''

to Salt Lake last night. The interment
will this afternoon take the place of a

II any one thing will kill baseball

If there is any fragrant departure from
discipline, it is the turning down of an
umpire's decision.

game, changing the standing of the
clubs, and giving ogden precedence
over the locals. That Manager Hickey
should consent to it is a most remark

interest by great many of those in
