Frank IVey Wood, OF z33 Massachusetts
Avenue. has written to the Commission
ers with reference 70 the special assess
ment bin against lot Il, square 1854, for
curb and sidewalk. Mr. Wood encloses
the bill and calls attention 10 the fact
that interest on the assessment is charg-
ed from September y, 1898, which date he
is informed Is the date Of a letter mailed
by the Commissioners TO George T Kip
stein Alexandria, Va. It also appears
from the records that a copy of the bill
was left at the residence OF Mr.. William
A kimmel. On March a 1860. Continuing
Mr.. Wood says
This property was formerly owned BY
me ana on June IL 1891, l conveyed the
same TO George I .kIipSJein, which deed
vas duly recorded June 4, 1897 in Iiber
2233, folio g. On June /. 1888. said Kip
stein conveyed the property 10 William
a hJumel. which deed was recorded June
2, lSeS. IN EDer Z5IJ. folio 81 ana by deed
dated July 10, 1890. said kimmel conveyed
the property TO me, which deed was re-
corded August ;, $3.50, IN Liher PISS, folio
From the facts above recited it VIII
be seen that on September -, 1888. the
date Of the alleged service on said George
= kilpstein, the latter was not in fact
the owner Of the property and such ser
vice was. therefore invalid. Under The
circumstances l respectfully request that
the interest on the assessment laid be
charged only from the date Of proper ser
vice n the case and that I be furnished
with a corrected bill
nave paid all general taxes due on
SAID property and in view Of the fact
that the lot Is about TO be sold for non
payment OF said assessment l would ask
that this matter be given Immediate al
teuti0n-
The matter having been referred to the
Special Assessment Clerk, J W. Daniel,
he reports that when the special assess
nent for curb and sidewalk in front Of
square I05S was levied, August 20, 1855. LOT
4 stood on the books Of the Assessor :
Office in name Of George T. Klipstein and
bill was mailed TO Mr. Klipstein who liv.
ed in Alexandria. Va. An examination
made recently by Nr. Daniel shows that
said lot was transferred by MT. Kip
stein on the 4th Of June, 1898, TO William
a kiTnmeL upon whom the bill was serv-
ed March a, 1900 This being the first
valid service, Mr.. Daniel thinks interest
can be charged only from March 24- 1900
1t is understood that the Commissioners
VIII approve the above report
