THE OFFICE NOT TO BLAME.
Report by the Assessor on a De
Iinquenf Tax Case

SdSt-
Miss D. G. Passmore, of 1925 P Street
northwest, recently wrote to the Assessor
complaining of the dereIiction of his Office
in not notifying her Of the delinquent tax
against her property, sublot ), square 149
for 1893. amounting to $4.80 She states
that when she settled with the trustees
she was informed that the taxes were all
paid. Moreover. she states that she has
requested the office to send the tax bills
against her property twice each year, and
she thinks it surprising that the old tax
Of 1893, should have been allowed to stand
so long without her being apprised Of the
fact
Miss Passmore declares that it is a
very bad piece of business, that it shows
dereIiction of duty, and she expresses the
opinion that If justice were done in the
case the Assessor would be obliged to
pay the bill. She tells the Assessor that
it is unjust to exact from her now the
tax and penalties, as the fault was clear
~ not hers.
The Assessor has forwarded to the Com
missiOrers a copy of the letter sent to
Miss Passmore in reply to the above, in
which he states that prior to his ad-
TninIstratiOn Of the office, il was not the
/ custom to notify taxpayers that there
were arrears Of taxes on their property,
unless they eGquIred expressly for the
same Mr. Darneile further states that
one Of his first official acts was to install
q system which would accomplish this re-
suit. He informs Miss PasSmore that the
system is now IN force and that By
means Of it she has been informed Of the
arrears in question. The Assessor states
that this is not required by law, but that
Il IS done solely for the accommodation
( Of property-hoiders and the convenience
Of the Office 10 facilitate the payment of
taxes III arrears.
The Assessor further states that tax
certificate was issued on the lot in 1852
( He expresses regret that any annoyance
( has been caused and assures his CORE
! spondent there was no omission or Of
( fetal neglect in the matter.

A FEW FACTS
About the New Caturrh Cure


The new Catarrh Cure is Il new de-
parturc in so-called catarTh cures because
it actually cures. and IS not simply
temporary relief
The new Catarrh Cure is not Salve-
ointment, powder nor liquid, but a pleas
ant tasting tablet, containing the best
specifies for cataTTh in concentrated,
convenient form
The old style Of CataTTh salves and ONT
rnents are greasy, dirty, and inconVenient
at the best; the new preparation being
in tablet form IS always clean and con-
Vcnicnt.
The new Catarrh Cure is superior to
Catarrh powders because it is notorious
fact that many cataTTh powders contain
cocaine.
The new Catarrh Cure is called stuart 5
Catarrh Tablets, wholesome combina-
ton Of blood root. beachwood tar. guai-
acoI, and other antissptics, and cures by
its actiOn upon the blood and mucous
membrane. the only rational treatment
for catarrhal trouble
You do not have to draw upon your
imagination to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets. improvements and RELIEF are dp-
parent from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recCmmend them.
They cost but 30 cents for fuii-siZed pack
ages, and any catarrh sufferer who has
wasted time and money on sprays, salyes.
and powders. will appreciate TO the full
the merit Of Stuarts CGtarrh Tablets,
