licenses for every entertainment held
in its hall when tickets are sold there
for. 1t also pays & water tax. from
which churches are exempt. In view of
these facts, MIR. Evans declares that
is unjust that churches should be al
lowed to enter into successful compe-
tition with public halls, realizing
therefrom considerable revenue and go
free from taxation.
Petitions Commissioners.
Mr. Evans holds that when churches
enter the competitive field of business
they should be required to adhere to all
conditions governing taxable places of
amusement. The board of directors,
therefore. of the Rifles Armory petition
the Commissioners that regulation be,
promulgated forbidding churches to be
rented as places of entertainment 10
purposes of revenue unless they are
taxed in the same proportion as public
halls.
On motion of Commissioner West
the letter has been referred to the As
SCISSOR for consideration and report.

ers to Tax SanctuarieS.
Asserts Church Property,
Under the Law, Is Exempt
Only When Used Wholly
for Religious Purposes.

George ". Evans, secretary of the
board of directors of the National Rifles
Armory. has written a letter to the Dis
trict Commissioners advocating the tax
alton of churches which are rented out
for lectures and other forms of public
entertainment. Mr.. Evans explains that
his letter was prompted by instructions
from the board, and that the views ex-
pressed are held by his colleagues.
Under the general law" says Mr..
Evans. church property is exempt from
taxation, cond:tionally that the same be
absolutely devoted to religious purposes.
Should they receive revenue from the
sources mentioned then they should be
placed in the same class as other places
of amusement and be taxed accordingly.
Aside from an equitable consideration of
the question, it seems almost a sacri
lege that a temple erected and dedicated
to the worship of God should be per-
mitted to be used for other purposes
Cites Several Instances
Reference is made by Mr.. Evans to the
First Congregational Church, Tenth and
G Streets northwest, and to the Church
of Our Father. corner of Thirteenth and
L Streets northwest, as being competi
tors with the Rifles Armory Hall for
public entertainments and lectures. and
Mr.. Evans alleges that the Congrega-
tional Church has secured an engage
ment with a society formerly booked
with him. Mr.. Evans declares that this
society will pay more than 5000 to the
church in the way OF rental this fall
and winter.

QUESTION RAISED AS TO
DISTRICT ASSESSMENT
Commissioners Puzzled as to Validity
of Improvement Tax Against Re-
Gently Purchased Property.

A question has arisen relative to GER
tain assessments against tract of land
belonging to the heirs of the late H..
H. Schneider. a portion of which has
been purchased for the widening of Sher-
man Avenue. between Florida Avenue
and Clifton Street. The purchase was
made in accordance with the provisions
of the sundry civil act, approved juno
IS, 1902.
Under its terms the Commissioners
were to buy $1,000 square feet of the
land for the sum of $4,000, and were
to assume all special assessments pend
ing against the land. 1t was to be
graded by the owners to an elevation
satisfactory to the trustees of the Gar
field Hospital, which it abuts.
1t appears that the entire tract. Of
which the land purchased is part, was
assessed the sum of $4,000 for benefits
by the jury il connection with the
opening of Eleventh Street. These bene
fits have been confirmed, but are pend
ing in the court.
Commissioner Biddle has raised the
question whether the whole tract shall
be relieved from the future confirma .
tion of the benefits assessed or only
that portion purchased by the District
for the opening of Sherman Avenue.
There is also another assessment
against the property, of $500. for the
opening of Sherman Avenue itself, and
the Engineer Commissioner desires to
know whether this assessment also is tc
be paid by the owners of the tract.
The matters in question have been re-
ferred to the Corporation Counsel for
an opinion.

WHY wAsHINeToNs LEGS SHINE.
Misapplied Zeal of Agent for New Kind
of Polish.

Misapplied Zeal of Agent for New Kind
of Polish.
One of the points of interest in the
financial district is the bronze statue
of Washington in the front of the
United States sub-treasury on Wall
street, says the New York Press. 1t
is invariably pointed out to visitors,
and almost invariably the question is
asked:
why do they polish only the knees
and not the whole statue?"
Mentor and guide has to shake his
head, and admits that he does not
know.
1t appears that some years ago
peddler with some new kind of polish
came to the sub-treasury and extolled
the virtues of his compound to one of
the guards. Why" he said, Il
could even polish up that rusty old
statue out there in jiffy."
Go ahead" said the guard.
The agent went to work with will
and in few minutes had succeeded
in taking off the beautiful dull oxy-
dizing from the legs of the statue as
far as the knees. Just then Mr..
Muhleman, the deputy assistant treas
urer, came up the steps, and in less
time than it takes to tell it the agent
found himself sitting at the foot of the
steps, while Mr.. Muhleman lectured to
the surprised guard in forcible Ian
guage on the vandalism of indiscri-
inmate polishing.
But not even the variability of the
New York climate has been sufficient
as yet to restore to the polished parts
their old dull beauty.
