ARREARS OF TAXES.
Assessor Fav0rs Acceptance of Prin-
cipal Without Interest.

Lafayette C. Looms has applied to the
District Commissioners for permission to
pay, without penalty and interest, arrears
of taxes on certain lots in Montello and
Winthrop Heights. Mr.. H. H. Darneille,
the District assessor, reports that sub
division of Winthrop Heights had been
pending for two or three years prior to
March, 1901 at which time a map was filed
showing the new blocks and lots in the
subdivision. This property was subdi-
vided by DR. Loomis,' says the assessor,
land the Commissioners, through Capt.
Beach, did not require the payment of
taxes in arrears before making subdivision.
We cannot now identify the old lots. upon
which taxes are due, by the new lots
plated March last. l am therefore of the
opinion that the best interest of this Of
flee would be served by allowing DR..
Loomis to pay all arrears of taxes on the
Montello and Winthrop Heights lots with
out penalties and interest l recommend
that this be done, and that the lots in the
subdivision be not listed for purposes of
assessment until all arrears are paid to
June 30, 1901 The recommendation has
been approved by the Commissioners.

BESET BY DIFFICULTIES
STATEMENT CONCERNING CONSTRUC-
TION OF INTERPRETING SEWER.
o. l.. Ingalls,, Assistant Engineer, Re-
ports Upon Work Done by Con-
tractor John JacOby.

Some of the difficulties which beset the
contractor in the construction or sewers
in large cities have been called to the at
tention of the Commissioners by John
Jacoby, contractor for the east side inter
cepting sewer under NJ street southeast,
and in a report by o. L. ingalls,, assistant
engineer of the District sewer division. Mr..
Jacoby recently reported to the Commits
soners that in the construction of the
sewer for which he has the contract an old
sewer was encountered in 18th street,
which, in his opinion, will have to be con-
structed for a distance of 100 feet be-
fore connection can be made with the new
sewer. The matter was investigated by
Engineer Ingalls,. He says the grade of
the sewer under construction is four feet
below mean high tide and forty feet below
the surface of the street, and it's top is
nine feet below the grade of the 18th
street sewer.
Mr.. Jacoby has constructed a large part
of his sewer in tunnel says Mr.. ingalls,.
land the work proceeded in a satisfactory
manner until the crossing of the 18th street
sewer was reached, when water began to
percolate through the soil from above COM
ing, no doubt, from the 18th street brick
sewer or the 24-inch pipe sewer. both of
which are directly over the tunnel head
ing This leakage so saturated the soil
that settlements began to occur and eX-
tended to the surface. These settlements
necessarily affected the masonry of the
18th street sewer, causing slight transverse
cracks to appear which no doubt agu-
mented the seepage. In order to overcome
this difficulty, Mr.. Jacoby entered the 10Th
street sewer and constructed a flume of
considerable length and of sufficient ca
pacity to carry a little more than the dry
weather flow. This construction appeared
to be satisfactory and work was resumed
Effects Of Storm.
"Soon after a heavy storm swept the
flume away. causing additional settlements
and filling the VI street sewer with storm
water. After some delay, Mr.. Jacoby again
entered the 10Th street sewer, reconstruct
ed the flume, and after pumping the water
from his sewer, renewed the effort to COM
plete the construction, when a second
and. in addition, the settlements this time
caused the collapse of the 18th street
sewer.
THE sewer which has fallen in pieces as
a result of Mr. Jacoby's operations is of
modern construction, built in 1887 and be-
iieved to have been in perfect condition
previous to the beginning of the NJ street
sewer. Sewers are not necessarily con-
structed water-tight and this sewer, on ac-
count of its large dry-weather flow, is be-
iieved to be no exception
Mr.. ingalls, says that under the terms
of Mr.. Jacobys contract the latter is COM
works. The damage to the 18th street
sewer he believes to be entirely due TO
Mr.. Jacoby's operations. and he recon-
mends that it be repaired by him. which
recommendation has been approved by the
Commissioners.

EXCESSIVE SPEED.
Locomobile Operator Fined $40 I'm
Police Court.

Charles Peters, colored, locomobile op-
orator. was overhauled at the corner of
14th and II streets northwest last evening
by Officer Warren of the bicycle squad. and
was charged with running his machine at
greater speed than twelve niles an hour.
The officer arranged to have Peters meet
him in the Police Court this morning to
answer the charge.
When the case was called Peters pleaded
guilty, and stated he was in hurry at
the time, but had no intention of violating
the law.
Judge Kimbail remarked that the opera
tors of locomobiles and automobiles con-
stantly violate the law in regard to speed,
ana that they must learn to meet the re-
quirements- The court imposed a fine of
$40, which was paid.
