nave the honor to suggest that If Congress
desires any proper part Of the subject to be

Other Cases Passed Upon.
Mr.. Duvall has also reported to the Com
missioners on House bill 1906 for the re-
lief of Kate Fogarty. The object of the bin
is to relieve the real estate of Kate Fogar-
ty of Tarrytown, n. Y, from the operation
or the act of Congress approved March 3.
1887, entitled IAN act to restrict the owner
ship of real estate in the territories to
American citizens etc. commonly known
as the allen law" Mr.. Duvall says he
knows of no reason why the bHi should not
receive the favorable report Of the Com
missioners.
The solicitors third opinion of the day is
In regard to the communication of Thomas
w. Robertson, requesting to be informed
whether there is any law prohibiting Chin
ney sweeping In the city of Washington.
Mr.. Duvall says the tate corporation of
Washington, by its ordinance of June 3.
1853 provided for the appointment of two
superintendents Of chimney sweeps, declared
their duties and provided certain penalties
in connection with chimney sweeping The
Office of superintendent of sweeps was rec
ognized by the act of the late legislative
assembly of the District, approved August
p, 1871. On December Z. 1898, the Commits
sioners abolished the Office of superintend-
ent of sweeps.
1.-The effect of the abolition of the Office"
says Mr.. Duvall, was a practical repeal
of all the provisions of the corporation or
dinances: all the provisions OF the ordi-
nance were thereby rendered wholly in
operative. Inasmuch as all of the penalties
were merely incidental to the duties of the
office am OF the opinion that the penalties
disappeared with the ONCE. 1t therefore
follows that the matter OF chimney sweep
ing In the District of Columbia Is not the
subject Of any existing law or regulation"
