QUESTION OF ABUTMENTs.
Mr.. Charles w. Russell Objects to an
Assessment.

Assessment.
Mr.. Charles W. Russell of the Depart
ment of Justice was recently sent by the
municipal authorities a bill of $134. 20 for
curb and sidewalk, and one Of $1.53 for
paving of an alley, the bills representing
special assessments against sublot 100,
square Co. which lot abuts 1853 feet on
Newport place. and fronts but $50 feet on
Dist street. Presenting that these bills will
be followed by similar charges for curb and
sidewalk on 21st street and for water mains
on that street and Newport place, as well
as still other special Improvement charges,
Mr.. Russell wrote the Commissioners, in
viting their attention to what he claims is
the fact that he, and not the District.
should be paying bills concerning the part
of the lot in question.
In my absence" wrote Mr.. Russell, son
| official business in Porto Rico, fall of 1893,
my lot, 49, was taken to make a street A
jury, as / learned in course of time, allowed
me and others 81 per foot for our lands.
emitting in my case go feet of the lot,
worth. at that rate, $576.G5. This proceed
ing, paying me for part of the lot when but
80 feet were left, was sufficiently extraor-
binary. The present assessments, however,
rise into the domain of the grotesque.
They purport to be made under the act
of August Z. 1894, concerning assessment
and permit work. to be charged in part to
'abutting property There is no doubt that
my land is property and equally no doubt
that 1t adults on the sidewalk. In fact,
abutting Is about all it does is good for.
1T abuts on two streets and alley. If
there We're any money in abutting, few
properties of the same size could compare
with it. But is it really supposed by the
persons attending to such business that
Congress intended by the act of August
to charge the expense of improvements to
people treated and left as have been with
regard to 30 feet formerly part of a build
ing lOt?''
Mr. Russell thinks not, and as he says he
cannot build house a lot with 'front.'
age Of but 80 feet, nor it as farm.
he asks what possible utility can a sewer
or sidewalk have to 1t or its owner He
thinks the Commissioners really ought If
they have the power, to pay him S576.6 or
at least see that sewers and sidewalks are
made at the cost of the public or of the
lot owners, and not at his.
Mr.. .RusSellS communication was referred
by the Commissioners to Mr.. j. w. Daniel
the special assessment clerk who has re-
ported to them that in his ODiniOn the as
sessments in question were properly levied
against the lot under the act of August Z
1894, which provides, he states, that prop
erty shall be assessed according to the
number of linear feet abutting on work
done. THE small portion, 2. so feet" SAYS
Mr.. Daniel left of sublot 100 was taken
into consideration by the jury in determin-
ing the amount of damages due Mr. Rus
sell. $4,2as. by reason of the opening of
Newport place"
The Commissioners have the case now
under consideration.

ton of an eight-room public school house
at Hillsdale: Pavarini & Greer, S35, 400 OF
3376O, and Gleason & Humphrey, S34 500

approved March 3. 1899. provided the sum
of $4,000 for the construction of this build
ing, but the Commissioners were unable tc
secure its erection for that sum. At their
request, Congress provided them with S., OOG

the Week.
A tropical storm, which has been moving
slowly westward over the Caribbean sea
during the last few days, crossed Cuba
Tuesday night and is central this morning
near Key West, Fla. Thus far the storm
has been attended only by heavy rains and
winds of moderate force.
The outlook is, however, that the center
of the disturbance will move northWard
with marked increase in intensity and
cause dangerous winds along the middle
and east gulf Florida and extreme south
Atlantic coasts tonight and Thursday Con-
tinuing a northward movement the storm
will probably be felt AS far north as Nor
folk by Thursday night, and Is likely TO
extend over the middle Atlantic and south
New England coasts bye Friday. Aside
from indicated high leasteyly winds along
the Atlantic coast, this disturbance prom
ises to cause general trains over the eastern
part of the country, which Will cover the

Injurious Effect Upon Business.

Since you have raised the question Of
further legislation let us look little far
Their forward. If Mr.. Bryan is elected Pres
ident it is Of all things the most probable
that the next House will have a democratic
majority, but even admitting that that
Congress- dating from March 4, 1901, will
not be able to effect any change In our
present financial legislation. what We may
fairly ask, will be the effect of the con-
tinued agitation of the question upon bust
ness and industry, set in motion by a Presi-
dent bent upon the restoration of free silver
at the ratio of 16 to and elected upon that
platform?
You end your letter by suggesting that
retract what l have said in fairness to the
business community, which should not be
unnecessarily disquieted, especially not by
those in authority. Thinking as 1 do that
the election of Mr.. Bryan would be a real
menace to the commercial and industrial
interests Of our people, because OF the pur-
pose he cherishes and the power he would
possess, do not feel at liberty to act upon
your suggestion; / feel 1t my duty to at
least wait until after Mr.. Bryan himself
has retracted his statement Of 1896 that lit
