missioners the communication of Brice j.
Moses, Assistant Treasurer of the Wash
ington Loan and Trust Company. With an
adverse opinion relative to the request
made therein. In behalf Of the company
Mr.. Moses requested the refund of the
amount paid by it on January %, 1891 for
an assessment for water main in Bright

The request is based upon the claim.
says the Attorney, that the assessment
has been made illegal by the act Of Con-
gress approved June 2 1900, which pro-
Vides as follows:
Sec. 3. That the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia be, and are hereby,
authorized and directed to cancel the as
scssment of Waterman taxes unpaid on

Congress related specifically in its terms
to the unpaid assessments on Bright

w E. Spier, contractor for the con-
struction of the manual training school
building, has submitted a proposal to
the Commissioners to plaster the ex-
posed walls in the basement instead of
whitewashing them. The Inspector Of
Buildings has returned the proposition to
the Commissioners with the statement
that the basement walls for about four
feet from the bottom show the effects of
frost in the joints, and that they need to
be pointed up If whitewashed. as other
wise the mortar would probably continue
to drop out In view of this condition of
the walls the Inspector recommends that
the proposition to plaster the walls be
accepted without extra cost to the Dis
trict.
The Inspector of Buildings has also
recommended that the contractor be al
lowed to use gravel in lieu of crushed
stone for mixing the concrete for the tile

The Commissioners yesterday inspected
the drainage sewer constructed by the
owners of the butterine factory. at Lang
don. with a view TO its efficiency to carry
of the waste from the plant. This ex-
animation of the drainage was prelimi-
nary to the extension Of the water main
from Mount Olivet Cemetery to the fac
tory, for the purpose of introducing Po-
tomac water there.
incidentally to the visit of the Com
missi6ners to the factory, they were
shown through the plant and its prin-
cipal operations were explained to them.
Upon their return to the District Build
ing the Commissioners expressed them
selves as well pleased with their tour OF
inspection. and it was said that there is
nothing in the way of granting the com
pany their request to have the water
main extended along the Bladensburg
Road to their property.
The near completion OF the Washington
Aqueduct tunnel and the Howard Uni
versity reservoir has removed the prin-
cipal objection to the use Of the Potomac
water in large quantity by the factory.
The Commissioners are now understood
to be satisfied that they can extend the
main and serve the factory without dctri-
ment TO the water supply

ton contemplate, but as they in addition
