Reasons for Rejecting Request.

The District health officer, DR.. VIM c.
Woodward, believes that a dog which has
lost two tags in one year is rather detri-
ment to the public than a benefit, as the
tags lost by it serve to protect unlicensed
dogs, and thus deprive the municipality of
its proper revenue Therefore, he is OF
the opinion that repeated loss of tags from
a dog, instead of being an excuse for not
paying the pound fee upon the capture of
the animal. is a good reason why a re-
quest of its owner for the return of the
fee should be denied. DIR. Woodward SO
expressed himself in the case of Mr.. Chas
A Clements of 3i3 Florida avenue, and
the Commissioners have denied Mr.. Glenn
ents' request for the return of the fee of
81 paid by him for the reclamation of his

Sees No Reason for Granting Request

The attorney for the District has in
formed the Commissioners that he has fur
Their considered the request of Mr.. W. H.
Manogue that the owners Of the west ten
feet of lot %, square 1872 assessed in the
name of Chas. H. Reintzell, be allowed to
pay the general taxes due from 1880 to 1900
without penalties and COSTS and says he
sees no reason for advising the granting of
the request. The Commissioners legal ad-
wiser holds that the act of February IL,
1895, changing the name Of Georgetown
made all general laws ordinances and regu-
lations of the city of Washington extend
and applicable to that part of the District
formerly known as Georgetown. and re-
pealed all general laws, regulations and or
dinances of the city of Georgetown He
also holds that there is no claim and can
be no claim in this case that the owners
of the property were in any way misled or
damnified because Of its assessment in the
name Of "Reintzell."

Telephone Extension

A. E. Randle was at the District office
this afternoon and succeeded in getting
arrangements made to have telephone
extended to Congress Heights. The con-
struction of the line was hung up because
the poles were not strong enough for the
telephone wires and the fire alarm lines
for the new chemical engine. But Mr.. Ran
die explained that the appropriation of
$4,000. recently made was Emply for the
engine house, and that another appropria-
ton will have to be made before the en-
CINE can be bought. 1t will be year or
more, he said, before the poles will be
needed for the alarm wire.

water pipes which the firm charged had
been torn up by the contractor who laid
the sidewalk and curb on Hardwood avenue
