inQuiring what action has been taken in
regard to application made by him for a
building permit at TO 18th street north

cation was rejected by the inspector of

In his latest communication on the sub
ject Mr.. Thompson says:
On the Sth instant / addressed you a
communication requesting a building per-
init, ana on the 22d instant, two weeks
later addressed you a note. couched in re-
spectful language, requesting a reply, and
as yet have received no reply to the sub
1ect matter, except a letter from one of
the Commissioners stating that l had been
informed by him what the action would
be. Now, gentlemen. 1t does not seem rea-
sonabie and consistent that a citizen and
taxpayer is to be deprived Of a privilege
and right which you have promised to
grant under regulation promulgated and
enforced by yourselves, and which is still
In force Pardon me for requesting your
early decision and reply in this matter of

Attorney Duvall's Opinion In Case Of
Wight Against DavidsOn.
The attorney for the District, Mr. A. b.
Duvall. has transmitted to the District
Commissioners a copy Of the decision OF
the United States Supreme Court in the
case of Wight against Davidson and 9TH
ers, involving the street extension act.
Mr.. Duvan comments briefly upon the de-
cision. saying that the court has held the
act to be constitutional The act is in
similar terms to the several other acts
passed in March, 1899, for the extension OF
suburban streets. Continuing, the attor-
ney says:
The decision in this case affects and
controls all the other street extension
cases under the acts Of Congress of March,
1879, In which the verdict, award and as
sessment Of juries have already been made:
ana am of the opinion that we will now
be able to secure confirmation Of all these
verdicts, including the assessments there
in.
In the case of the extension Of 11th
street the assessment was vacated by
the court and the appeal by the Commits
sioners from that order is now pending in
the Court of Appeals where the case has
been passed awaiting the decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States in the
case Of the street extension.
Assuming that it Is Your desire to have
all these cases brought forward and dis
posed of, 1 will bring them to the atten-
ton or the court as soon as practicable
