AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Question of Water Main Tax
in BrO0kIand.

Miss Garrity Asks Relief From u
Hardship for Assessment or Con-
cord Street.-The Losses for the
Month of Februnry-Current Notes.
Nellie l. Clarity, of Brcokland, d. c,
has communicated with the Commission
ers requesting that the water main tax
assessed on lot l, block Il, Brookland, be
removed until the water main is laid in
Austin Street. Miss Garrity states that
she has already paid the tax for which
the main was laid, namely, to supply
block % with water. To pay a like
amount for lot l, block Il, when block II
is supplied with no water main on Aus
tin Street, she thinks works an unneccs-
sary hardship upon her.
In his report on the application, the AS
SCISSOR states that the assessment in ques-
ton is for water main laid on Twelfth
Street. between Austin and Concord
Streets. against lot l. block Il, Brookland,
and under the rule regulating water
main assessments the fun front of said
lot on Austin Street is taken by a depth
of 100 feet in Twelfth Street, and the ex-
cess over 100 feet on Twelfth Street al
the same rate. and if water main be here
after laid on Austin Street the assessment
would not affect this property.
me Assessor further says that there
seems to he no authority of law or pre-
cedent that would warrant deferrng
payment of the Twelfth Street assess
ment until main is laid in Austin Street.
and he states that he is constrained to
submit the matter with an adverse rec
ommCdation.

Acting upon the advice of the Asses
sor, the Commissioners have voted to is
sue a permit to the Northwestern Life
and Savings Company to do business in
the District of Columbia. In his report
upon the application of the company, the
Assessor informed the Commissioners
that all the requirements of the law had
been met. The headquarters of the COM
pany is at DeS Moines, Iowa.
In accordance with the requirements of
the law, Robert T. Hough. special counsel
for the National Surety Company, has
filed with the Commissioners a copy of
extracts from the minutes OF the meeting
of the company in New York, showing the
election of officers for the year 1901. The
papers filed also include a copy of the
bylaws of the company.
Robert b. Caverly, of 500 Tenth Street
northwest. has submitted to the Commits
sioners plans and specifications for the
proposed construction of marble-top lava
tories in the basement of the Manual
Training School Building corner of Sew
enth Street and Rhode Island Avenue.
Charles Il. Ball, the Inspector of Plumb
ing in reporting upon the matter, has
recommended that the plans be approved,
with the requirement suggested by Cap
tain Gaillard some time ago, that the top
slab be made of two pieces instead Of
three. Mr.. Ball suggests certain changes
relative to the vent connections and to
the fianges upon the supporting legs. With
these changes he advises the Commis-
sioners that the fixtures will be in all re-
spects suitable for the location.
The Commissioners yesterday considered
two applications of the Chesapeake and
Potomac Telephone Company to erect
poles and wires in connection with its
system. One of these was a request for
permission to erect one pole in square 1856
The other was a request for permission
to erect two poles in alleys of square 49,
one in alley of square 49,, and five poles
and a guy pole in square 514. Acting on
the advice of the Electrical Engineer
both applications were approved.
The Electrical Engineer has been au-
thorized, by vote Of the Commissioners,
to establish five additional trunk lines,
the appropriation for which was made in
the General Deficiency bill The Elecrri-
cal Engineer has also been directed to go
TO New York TO inspect the special lamps
and posts now being made for the de-
partment.
