LEGISLATION BY
CONGRESS- NEEDED
IMPORTANT REAL ESTATE RULING
Point Involved the Recording Of
Subdivision of an Original Lot
Prior TO the Payment OF
g. Assessments-

The question Of allowing a subdivision
OF an original lot to be recorded with
out paying in advance the assessments
for street extension is the subject Of an
opinion submitted TO the District Com
missioneTs today by their Attorney This
question was raised by L NJ Saunders,
who recently requested permission TO re-
cord d proposed subdivision Of lots Z to
i inclusive, of block ?, CT Todd and
Browns subdivision
The land IN question, about three acres
fronting en- Sherman avenue. IS involved
in the litigation incident 20 the opening
and extension Of that thoreugnfare- The
proceedig5 for the condemnation Of the
land have been pending a year OF two,
and the award Of the jury is still under
consideration by the court
The Rule Usually Observed.
According TO the practice Of the Com
mIssioners II is required that all taxes Of
every description shall be paid before
plat Of subdivision can be proved and re-
corded. The owner in this case, however,
wishes TO subdfvide his land and to build
thereon without waiting for the slow
processes Of the courts He was given
permission to deposit 4 certified check
with the Collector Of Taxes covering the
amount. when he would be allowed to sub
divide. This. however, did not suit the
owners purposes, as It would tie up a
considerable sum Of money, and he held
that the assessment might in the end be

Have Not the Authority.
The Attorney goes On to state that what
Mr. Saunders really wants is the can
collation. by the Commissioners of the as
sessmeDt and TO reas5ess 1t against The
subdIyided lots This, the Attorney saws
the Commissioners are without authority
10 do He says the assessment was maze
under the specific requirements OF law
and that the commissioners are not AT
liberty 70 change it. He adds that the
record Of the subdivision would have no
eject upon the assessment That. he
says, would remain a lien upon the prom
eTtE- as confirmed by the court. as q
whole. and not against the lots as sub
divided
The Attorney thinks that Congress
should enact legislation which, in these
cases would allow the Commissioners to
receive a part Of the assessment and then
to release a pToportionate part Of the lot
assessed, embracing one or nor. Of the
lots in the recorded subdivision. The
Attorney is of the opinion that the rev
enues of the District would be materially
increased in that way. and that the Com
mlsSiOneTs would then be able 10 assist
in the development of considerable prop
erty by enabling the owner from time 10
time to clear the title and to improve
part Of the land as opportunity offered.

master general 100000 registered
packages passed through the mails last
year, and only 81 were lost through
carelessness, accident or theft. This is
q striking and convincing demonstra-
ton Of the honesty and efficiency Of
the postal service. Equally impressive
is the record showing that ST. ,667, $780,
600 Of government money was carried
in the same way without the loss of a
single dollar. The packages containing
these valuables passed through the
hands Of thousands of employees, and
the fact that this vast volume of bust
ness was transacted with such trifing
losses constitutes record of integrity
and skill which is unsurpassed in any
public or private service in the world.
