Attorney DuvalPs View of AppIica-
tiOn for Abatement of Tax

tiOn for Abatement of Tax.
A. B. Duvall, attorney for the District
has submitted an opinion to the District
Commissioners on the claim of w. E. Wills
owner of lot 4, section 8, of Barry Farm
Anacostia. that he should be allowed an
abatement Of per cent in paying a water
main tax against the property. 1T ap-
pears says the attorney that the water
main assessment was levied against Mr..
Wills lot October Is. 1899; under the act
of Congress approved July IS. 1893. which
provided respecting assessments outside
the city of Washington, that the same
should be due. payable and collectible on
each lot Or parcel of land or premises on
and after the date on which the connection
is made from the water main to the said lot
or parcel Of land or premises
The main was tapped for this lot Octo-
October 10. 1901; no interest was charged,
1t having been paid within thirty days after
the tapping Of the main. No abatement of
per cent was allowed because the tax was
not due, payable and collectibie until after
the main had been tapped.
The provision of law respecting the
abatement is contained in the 9Th section
of the act of the legislative assembly ap-
proved June %. 1873, which provided: That
if the said tax shall be paid within thirty
days from the time notice was given of the
leyying thereof an abatement of per cent
shall be allowed on the whole amount of
the assessment This provision related
specifically to payment within thirty days
after the levy of the water main tax.
There is lack Of cooperation between
this provision and an assessment made un-
der the act of July 8, 1898, in this. that the
act of Congress appears to require an as
esssment of the tax when the main Is laid,
while 1t declares that it shall not be due
payable and collectible until the connection
Is made from the water main to the lot
In practical effect it results that the owner
Is deprived of the benefit of the abatement
bly,. l am of the opinion that the appii-
cant Is not entitled to the abatement in

FOR FOUR VICE ADMIRALS
PROVISIONS OF BILL INTRODUCED
IN THE SENATE.
Howell, Remey, Farquhar and Watson
Would he Advanced by It-FeeI-
fng I'm Naval Circles.

Senator Hale today introduced a number
of bills drafts of which had been prepared
at the Navy Department and were recon-
mended by Secretary Long.
One of the number which will undoubted-
ly attract considerable attention and no
little criticism provides for four vice ad-
mirals and fourteen rear admirals to re-
place the present organization OF eighteen
rear admirals divided into two classes. nine
having the relative rank and pay of major
generals in the army and nine having the
relative rank of brigadiers in the army.
Under the proposed legislation the four vice
admirals will have the rank and pay Of
lieutenant general in the army, and the
fourteen rear admirals the rank and pay OF
major general Admiral Dewey would not
be affected by the bill and he would remain
at the head of the navy with the relative
rank of general In the army.
In case the bill should become law be-
fore March next the four ranking rear ad-
mirais - Howell. Remey, Farquhar and
Watson-would be advanced to the grade
of vice admirals. All of these officers serv-
ed during the civil war and the Spanish
American war. Admirals Howell and Far
quhar will retire next March, SO that * the
bill be not passed by that time the four
ranking rear admirals eligible for promo
ton would be Remey, Watson, Hfgginson
and Casey.
lHdSIuuCH DIS the Ull IeSlIlClS
ments as vice admirals to next ranking Of
fcers on the active list it prohibits the ap-
pointment of Rear Admiral Sampson, who
now stands number seven in his grade and
retires in February next, and Rear Admiral
Schley, who is already on the retired list
OF course. it is within the power of Con-
gress to make either or both of the officers
named vice admiral by the enactment of
special legislation to that effect. While ma
val officers generally are naturally In favor
of the prOpOSed legislation raising the grade
of officers and making promotions all along
the line. very few of them believe there is
any chance for the enactment of a measure
involving radical change in the naval or
gantZation.
Other bills are to increase the number of
lieutenants from 300 to $50, and the number
of junior lieutenants and ensigns from $50
to 600; to increase naval constructors from
forty to sixty; increase civil engineers from
twenty-one to forty; to change the title
naval cadet to midshpman and increase
the number Of cadets by allowing ten an
nual appointments by the President; retir-
ing officers under the personnel bill at the
grade they now hold instead of the next
higher grade.
