JUDGMENT AGAINST DISTRICT.
The Riggs National Bank Awarded
SO. 900 nnn,n-es.

The Riggs National Bank was awarded
Judgment yesterday f0- $1,000 against the
District. The litigation which resulted in
the award was the outcome Of an effort
on the part Of the District TO levy and
collect sceci1l tax assessed upon the
capital stock of the bank
Two suits were filed by the Riggs Bank,
in which Eldred G. Davis. in his official
capacity as Assessor for the District. was
named as defendant. The litigation was
commenced in January, 1899, about the
same time that the other national banks
in the District instituted proceedings
against the Commissioners to restrain
them from levying and collecting a special
tax on their capital stock. Justice Brad
ley announced his opinion in these cases
about week ago, holding that the Com
mlssioners have no authority to levy or
collect such a tax.
In one of the cases filed by the Riggs
Bank. $G.0oO was asked in return for the
sum Of s573.50 paid as special tax. which
the Commissioners alleged was due. In
the other suit. the bank claimed 5000 as
damages because the Commissioners
seized, took and distrained a valuable
safe, which was kept for six days on
account of taxes alleged to be due
Counsel for the Commissioners and the
bank agreed upon statement of facts in
the cases, and submitted them to Justice
Bradley for judgment. He announced his
decision in the matter yesterday.

John f. Cook. of 111S Sixteenth Street
northwest, recently requested the refund
ing of the tax paid on 1888 acres of land
in Metropolis View for the year 1s95. The
matter was referred to the Office of the
Assessor, and hc has now reported:
Under the opinion of the Attorney for
the District Of Columbia based on the act
of March 3. 1871. he advises th"t said
cemetery was and is exempt from taxa
tion from and after March 3. 1877, the date
of said act Of Congress, which opinion
was approved and transmitted to this Of
flee, and the records noted as exempt
which notation was not applied to inc
tax sale of April 19. 1899, for the tax OF
lA9S or the tract Of 1885 acres.
1T appears that Mr.. Cook paid this sale
bill unler protest. as indicated on face OF
said bill, and ne now claims reIund OF
said payment in the amount of tll3.5i
THE conveyance TO John +. Cook, trus-
tee tor Harmony Cemetery, OF the lhoS
acres bears date of Janualy 4, 1898. and
the tax sale was dated April -, leJJ, being
for the tax Of 1898. SAID sale was re-
deemed April Il, iStl.
THE tax sale in question being for
tax levied July l. 1897 ended June 30,
1898 on property assessed IN the indi-
vidual name of John f. Cook, and not
as trustee for the cemetery property. II
Is considered that the exemption OF said
property would not apply to the year 1855
in visw Of the fact that the conveyance
of sa ne for cemetery purposes was not
made until January Of the year 1898
1T is. therefore. submitted mat as the

Terms of Permit-AnnuaI Report
of the Commissioners Near Com
piction-Trces on Hartford Street
Some time ago the Anacostia and Poto-
mac River railway received permit from
the District to replace new wooden poles,
about IL in number, on their right Of
way OF, Nichols Avenue. from Sheridan
Avenue. Hillsdale, to Hamilton Avenue,
Congress Heights. After the work began
an inspection through the Electrical De
partment revealed the fact that the poles
being erected were not such were
specified in the permit. and the work of
erecting them was temporarily stopped.
Several reports were made relative to the
matter and the Electrical Engineer
stated, after new instructions were given
to the company, that the poles being
erected were not up to the specifications.
and he recommend that the company be
required to remove those placed in posi-
ton.
On November 1. Captain Newcomer, as
sistant to the Engineer Commissioner.
forwarded to the Board the following
statement:
The poles that have been erected un-
der this permit do not conform strictly
to the requirements imposed by the Com
misSioners. The old poles that We're to
be replaced were of uniform size, square
cross-sectioned, with beveled edges. tap
ering to the top. The new poles are tree
trunks in their natural condition, varying
several inches in diameter one from an
other, and some of them quite crooked
If variation in size is to be allowed, there
are at least eight of the poles that should
be removed or account Of their crooked
shape. If uniformity in size Is demanded,
the number of poles to be removed would
be increased. These poles are not set
vertically but with tops inclining away
from the roadway. The degree of in
different poles. / should judge these
poles to be below the average grade of
poles used for telegraph and telephone
purposes, with regard to the requirements
of being symmetrically shaped, straight,
and of uniform size.
With this report. the papers in the case
have been referred TO the Board by Major
Biddio. the Engineer Commissioner, for
final action.
The Washington times., 1901-11-06

1t is understood that the Commissioners
are at present engaged in framing the
introduction to their annual report, to be
submitted to Congress. Some days ago
they completed their annual estimates,
and it now remains for them to provide a
fitting preface to the document, when it
will be ready for the printer. Capt. /. H
Beach. before laying down the reins of
office, prepared the report Of the Eugi-
neer Department, and II requires it is
stated. only the approval of the Board
for final acceptance. Upon Commissioners
Macfarland and Ross rests the work Of
giving form to the rem ainder Of the re-
port. This work, 1t is believed. is far
advanced and the report is supposed, at
the present time, to be nearly ready for
submission to the Secretary of the Treas
ury, preparatory to its presentation to
Congress upon the organization of that
body.
1t is likely that the report will undergo
few changes while In the hands of the
Public Printer, and that IL will be COM
pleted some days before Congress con-
venes.
