Objections Cited by District
Commissioners After Elk
aiming a Bill.

The District Commissioners have pre-
pared an adverse report upon Senate bill
No. 1873, TO relieve property owners from
the assessments laid for benefits for the
extension Of Rhode Island Avenue, New
Hampshire Avenue, Sherman Avenue. :
Street, and Eleventh Street, which was
submitted to them for consideration. The
Commissioners say:
Rhode Island Avenue was extended
under an act Of Congress approved Feb
ruary 10. 1899. and the other highways
named were extended under acts approved
March g. 1889. These acts directed that
OF the amount found due and awarded as
damages by reason OF such extensions, not
less than one-half should be assessed
against the abutting properties. The ag-
gregate amount Of the damages awarded
in the cases was 1913. 1856 and the ag-
gregate amount of the benfts assessed
was s22C,562. These amounts we're deter
mined by juries as provided in the sew
eraI acts.
The extensions we're more or less
local in character. none Of them with the
exception Of Rhode Island Avenue being
necessary as connecting highways. and
therefore. the BENEFITS derived from their
opening were local only, as was sho-n in
the proceedings for their condemnation.
District Asked 10 Pay Cost.
This bill proposes that the District Of
Columbia shall assume the entire cost of
these extensions and that the locality
specially benefited shall bear nothing
more than its pro rata share Of the cost

ADVERSE REPORT ON RELIEVING OWNERS

as general taxes. When streets are op-
eued in the District the plan has always
been for the land necessary either TO

when the damages and benefits are as

'.Juries in street extension cases, even
when they are not restricted by law as
to the proportion Of benefits to be as
sessed, have, in many cases, found that
such local benefits Appropriated one-halt
OF the damages awarded To have the
District bear the whole amount OF cost
would make impracticable most OF the
street extensions which are almost in
variably made at the request Of property
owners.
'In other cities where streets have been
extended, notably Boston, Philadelphia,
and New York. the entire cost Of the ex-
tension was assessed against property
found to be benefited. and in most cases
this benefited area was limited 10 the
lard AUDITING upon the proposed street
United states 10 Pay Half.
The bill provides that the District
shall be chargeabIe with the assessment
OF benefits It has always been the policy
OF the Commissioners to recommend
strongly that the United States bear one
half Of the cost Of all street extensions
Another feature Of the bill is that
while it provides for the cancellation Of
outstanding assessments for benefits it
contains no provision for the refund Of
assessments already paid. and If passed
It would relieve the taxpayer who had
not paid from paying his assessment while
those who had paid would derive no bene-
ft from its provisions"
For the above reasons the Commission
ers strongly urge upon the Senate Com
mittee that the bill be not passed.
