AFFAIRS OF THE DISTRICT
The Attorneys Advice Against the
Cancellation of Taxes.
The Grounds for the application Not
Considered SOund-HOv to Dispose
of Ashes, Tin Cans, and other
Waste To Use the Water Tower.

Andrew r. DuvaIl, Attorney for the
District of Columbia. yesterday sub
mitted TO the Commissioners an ad-
verse opinion upon the application of
Charles A and Cora T. Hines for
the cancellation of general taxes for
the years 1888 1885 and 1889, against part
of lot p and lots % and % of the sub
division of Friendship. The Attorney
stated that the claim of the applicants
that these taxes should be Cancelled
should be denied. In connection with the
matter. Mr.. Duval says:
Because their agent requested bills for
all taxes and assessment against said
property from a clerk employed in the
office of the Collector of Taxes, stating to
him Willingness to pay any taxes then
due or overdue and that said agent was
informed by said clerk that excepting the
taxes due for the current year, there
were no unpaid taxes against the prop
erty.
The duties of the Collector of Taxes
are prescribed by statute, and he is not
required to make search or furnish state
ments of unpaid taxes. And the Supreme
Court of the District of Columbia held
that his statements and mistakes in re-
gard to unpaid taxes could not operate as
an eStoppel upon the District of Columbia.
The act of Congress approved May
Is 1892 authorizes the Assessor upon pay
ment of the fee of 80 cents to furnish a
certified statement, over his hand and
official seal, of all taxes and assessments;
but the Collector of Taxes has no such
authority and no mere statement which
ne might make could have the force and
effect of the certificate of the Assessor
under said act of Congress in respect to
omitted taxes.
The second ground for cancellation is
the claim that the taxes are not collecti-
bic because OF the failure on the part of
the District to file a bill in equity to en-
force its lien for taxes within a reason
able time after two years after the prop
erty was bid of by the District at the tax
sale
The law, however. does not provide
that the penalty for not so enforcing the
lien of the taxes by filing bill in equity
should operate TO release the lien for
such taxes.

The Walter L. Main Circus delighted
thousands of our people last Tuesday.
At the midday performance every seat
was occupied, Notwithstanding the day
was rainy and disagrecable. The
night performance was also we'll pat
rOnized. This large attendance was
doubtless due to the high reputation
which preceded the show, and this
reputation was we'll sustained. While
all shows OF this character present fea-
lures much alike, the style and order
of presentation differs, and it is in this
that the Walter l.. Main Show appears
to excel. Rut what is moro to be ap-
preciated by the circus going people
is that this show is divested of all
fakes and gambling schemes, and that
the managers are tircless in their
efforts to opreserve absolute order under
the tents and to present purely chasto
show to which ladies can 60 with no
fear of having their ears assailed by
foul epithets nor their eyes behold any
impure scene. This holds good even
in their concerts. TheutmOst modesty
is observed throughout. Every feature
presented was we'll sustained and our
people were highly pleased. 1t is q
clean show and worthy of the patron
age of the best people.
