The New Assessment.

Mr. Wilton J. Lambert then addressed the
meeting upon the question of the new as
sessment made under the recent act OF
Congress referred to. After outlining the
provisions of the act which, 1t was declared,
had the effect of increasing the burden to
be borne by the holder of mona agricultural
land in two ways-frst, by an increase of
one-third on the percentage of taxation, and
next by requiring an increase of valuation
upon which the percentage should be cal
culated-Mr. Lambert declared that 1t was
apparent the assessments had been made
in the office by the assessors upon a scale
of figuring without actual inspection of
the property which was being dealt with,
and that in the first instance, such action
had resulted in enormous increases of val
uation, frequently placing the same large
ly in excess of what could possibly be OBJ
tanned for the property upon the market.
AS a proof of this, Mr.. Lambert declared
that in one instance 1t had come to his at
tention that under the assessments, the i'm
provements upon a certain piece of prop
erty had been increased in valuation, when
a a matter of fact for over a year the I'M
provements undertaken to be assessed had
been entirely removed from the property.
He contended that this must necessarily
work the grossest kind Of injustice to the
property owners, who was already heavily
taxed, and that the only possible way for
the citizens to meet the situation was by
united and determined front, both before
the assessors and the committees of Con-
greSs. He suggested that as in many in
stances it might be necessary to take the
questions of valuations to the courts, prop
erty owners could not be too careful In TAX
ing steps in order to show to a court Of

equity that they had exhausted the remedy
afforded them before the assessors before
applying to the courts.

OPPOSE ASSESSMENT
Brightwood Citizens Indulge
in Criticisms.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED
COMMISSIONERS URGED TO BEGIN
WORK ON SEWERAGE.
Tribute to the Memory of the Late
Alexander Shepherd-Other
Matters Considered.
RESOLUTION ADOPTED

The Brightwood Citizens Association re-
sumed its sessions Friday evening in Bright
wood Hall after the summer recess, the
last meeting having been held in June
There was an unusually large attendance
of members, and Mr.. Louis P. Shoemaker
the president of the association, occupied
the chair The principal business before
the meeting was the discussion of the
proposed sewerage system east of ROCK
creek, and the new assessment made upon
District property under the recent act OF
Congress, which directed the assessors to
assess property upon the basis OF t"o-
thirds of it's real value, and raised the tax
on agricultural property from l to l1s per
cent, thereby making all property in the
District of Columbia bear taxes at the rate
of 11a per cent.
President Shoemaker welcomed the mem
bers back, and presented a report OF the
executive committee, which was mace 10
the Commissioners during the summer, ana
which urged an appropriation Tor the com
mencement of the sewerage system TOT that
section. The letter recently published from
the Commissioners in response 10 tnls rec
ommendation was read, in Wnlcn the COM
missioners asserted that it would require
about $6OO coo to complete the trunk sewer
required and that the District finances
were not in a position to afford the same
DIT lUlS tlIllS.
Upon this communication considerable
discussion was had, and it was pointed out
by Mr. Lancaster and others that the Com
missioners were in error concerning the IN
ternretation nut upon the recommendation
or request of the association, as 1t was de-
clared that there was no intention on the
part of the association to ask for an ap-
preparation of any sum of the magnitude
suggested but that their object was to Of
fer means of improvement in the county
sections by the establishment of sewerage
for the proposed buildings as speedily as
nossible. and to this end it was the desire
of the association that the work should
be started upon the lines proposed by-as is
usual in such cases-an appropriation IN
the first instance of $4,000 or $I5,oOO to
begin the work, to be supplemented from
time to time as necessity required and the
condition of the finances of the District
might warrant, until the completion could
be fully carried out 1t was decided that
this recommendation be submitted to the
Commissioners.

New York.. April % TIL, cotton mar
ket opened firm with prices one to four
points higher following an unexpected adj
vance of. a half point in the Liverpool
market and in sympathy with bu1lish spot
market news from the South. On the
early rise Europe and room shorts were
the leading buyers, while commission
houses sold to secure profits. July, the
active option, advanced to 922 on the
first wave of buying. he rank and file
OF the trade, however. were slow TO make
a stand on the bull side az port receipts
bid fair to equal those of last year and
as weather reports from the South were
exceptionally favorable to the new crop.
Short selling became popular and before
the close of the first hour the whole list
had worked materially lower A sharp
reaction in Liverpool and n weaker ruling
of the New Orleans market helped to
shake bull confidence for the moment in
professional circles. New business came
ir very slowly and this, too, served
to intimidate room bulls. Not until July
had dropped to 912 was there sufficient
support brought out to steady the market
which for the balance Of the day WAS
very quiet and generally to points
under last nights prices 50 far as The
present crop months were concerned.
Strange to say the new crop options heh
relatively firm all through the session
in the face of a decidedly bearish week
ly government crop statement. At tine
close the market was quiet and steady
with near months one to five points
lower aud far months unchanged to one
point higher.

BISHOP WILLIS ADDRESS.
Dearly Beloved:-The purpose for
which we are assembled here in the
presence of God is for the transference
to the American branch of the Angli-
can communion OF spiritual jurisdic-
ton in the area OF the Hawaiian ISL
ands. first committed by His Grace
the Archbishop OF Canterbury to my
predecessor. the Rt. Rev. DIR. Staley. in
1862. when Honolulu was made the seat
of Bishop OF the Anglican commun-
ion.
The steps already taken toward the
transfer of jurisdiction are as follows:
1. In November, 1899, the Hawaiian
Islands having been incorporated as
territory of the United States of Amer
lea. the Diocesan Synod of the Angli-
can Church in Hawaii passed a-resoiu-
ton pledging itself to take whatever
steps might be necessary for bringing
the church in Hawaii into union with
the Protestant Episcopal Church in the
United States of America on conditions
stated in its resolution.
2. In October, 1901 an arrangement
was entered into between myself and
the House of Bishops. assembled in
General Convention in San Francisco,
which devolved upon that House the
Episcopal oversight of the church in
these Islands on and after April 1, 1902,
at which date IL was resolved that the
Hawaiian Islands should be constituted
a Missionary District, for which a
Bishop should be consecrated as soon
as practicable, effect to be previously
given by our Diocesan Synod to the
resolution passed in November. 1899.
8 In order to give effect to that res
olution of 1899. our Diocesan Synod in
