TO APPEAL TO Tue
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Knotty Question About JUS
tees of the Peace,
District Auditor Unable to Determine
Meaning of Amendment to the
District. Code.

The question of the status of the JUS
probably be submitted to the Attorney
General fer consideration within the
next few days. The matter VIII be
brought up in relation to the pay
inent of their salaries. This phase OF
the question is unGer consideration by
the Auditor for the District, who will,
1t is understood, refer the matter to
the Commissioners. The latter will then
refer the quest.-n to the Attorney Cen
cral for his opinion.
The code which went into effect and
operation in January last provided for
the appointment of ten justices of the
peace, who were to he paid salaries of
$1,000 each. with $3.50 for incidental
expenses. such as rent and stationery.
recent amendment to the code. how
ever. provides for the reduction of the
number OF Justices from ten to six, and
also fixes their salaries at 81 eco year
Question of Salary.
The question which now presents it
self to the Auditor Is what amount
TO pay the tea justices now In office
II the law of the amendment is con-
strued to mean that the salary is to re-
main at $1,000 per annum until the num-
ber OF justices is reduced to six, then
thero is no difficulty in answering But
when the question is considered in con-
lection with the last clause of the re-
cent amendment. it is not so easy of So
luticn. The clause referred to is as
follows:
Clause in Amendment.
That nothing herein contained shall
be held to affect the term of office of
any judicial or other officer holding Of
flee when this code goes into effect ami
operation, except when. cs in the case OF
The present justices of the peace AMI
constables. contrary intention is mani
tested"
The distinction between the justices of
the peace and other judicial officers Is
here clearly drawn. ana some believe
the intention is that the amendment was
to change the amount OF salary as well
as the number of officers.
In consideration of this matter, an
ether question which will present It.
self is whether. in its final determine
tion, the code, which is the organic law
in this instance. or the amendment to
1t VIII be recognized as the law on the
subject.

Reference to Counsel.

81 therefore have the honor TO sug-
gest that the whole subject be referred
10 the Corporation Counsel for his opin-
ion, whether. in view of the ordinance
mentioned. it is the duty of the authori-
ties to establish the stand, or whether
they have the right to exercise their
discretion in the premises.
In case the Commissioners have such
discretion, ii would then be in order to
consider,
First. That the farmers who now use
stands in the Georgetown Market. for
which they pay an aggregate rental of
about $500 per annum, would discontinue
the use Of such stands and 20 TO stands
on the street, thus depriying the Dis
trict of SO much revenue.
Second That It would place on the
street use manifestly foreign TO the
essential objects of highway, and one
which has long been abandoned in most
other large cities Whether II would
be a source OF obstruction or hazard to
the users Of the street as a thorough
fare. could be better passed upon bv
the police department.
Third. That since the abandonment
OF this street as a market stand a large
number OF stores where practically the
same class and quality of goods are
yended have been established. and
whether the public can be as satisfac-
toriiy served by these stores and the
present market, as by the re-establish
ment of a farmers market on the
street"
On motion Of Commissioner Macfar
land the matter was yesterday referred
to the corporation counsel as suggested
by Secretary Tindall.

Erection.
PART OF STREET ASKED FOR
Dr.. William Tindall, Secretary to the
Commissioners, While Not Favoring
Granting the Permission, Suggests a
Legal Decision.

The District Commissioners few days
ago received from Nh. ], IN Curtain and
others a petition requesting the board
TO set aside the south side of NJ Street
between Warehouse Alley. east of the
market, and Thirty-third Street for the
use of farmers to sell produce. The pc
titior bears twenty-four signatures.
DR.. William Tindall. Secretary to the
Board OF Commissioners, has submitted
a report upon the matter, in which he
gives the results of conference with
the master of the Georgetown Market.
and calls attention to the law relating
to the authority of the Commissioners
in the premises. He says:
'In pursuance of your instructions
with respect to the application of GER
tain residents OF former Georgetown,
that market stand be established on
the south side of NJ Street. between

An Old Ruling.

"A special exception to that inhibi-
tion appears to be made lin the case OF
pavements contiguous 10 public mar
kets) by the extension to former George
town of the ordinance of the city of
Washington on the sabiect. approved
May p, 1851, as follows
a. 1t shall be the duty of tie clerks of
the several markets to lay off and mark
in convenient spaces the several pave
ments in. adjoining to, and bordering on
the market squares or open spaces or
thoroughfares, and which may be used
for the sale. or exposure for sale. of
vegetables or other country produce;
and any person or persons using any
more of said space or spaces than may
be assigned them by the said clerks
shall forfeit and pay i sum of not less
than five dollars. nor more than ten dol
lars. for any market day, or less time
they may use any such place tWebb's
Digest)
by a reasonable implication the au-
thority given in that ordinance to oc
cupy such payements might be con-
strued to grant the use of a necessary
portion of the carriageway as a stand
for the venders' wagons.
With respect to the wishes of the
petitioners for this stand, it appears
that they are almost entirely persons
doing business on the street where they
desire the stand located, and have as
much interest as venders to. as buyers
from, the farmers, and those who are
farmers patrons.
