CANNOT CANCEL TAX.
Reply Of District Assessor to Local In
surance Company.

Mr.. John D. Coughlan. secretary of
the Columbia Title Insurance Com
pany, has requested the Commissioners
to cancel the tax sale of 1900 OF the
1888 feet adjoining the west fifteen
feet of lot 20. square 1jS. bounded by
Seventeenth, Eighteenth. and y Streets
and Massachusetts Avenue northwest, as
to the purchasers, Israel Dorsey and
others.
Mr. H II. Darneille. the Assessor,
has recommended that the application
be refused lie says the certificate in
question was for one piece OF properly
only. but In fact IT was issued for tw o
pieces Of lot 20, square l5S. namely, the
west fifteen feet and the l5.5S feet next
the west fifteen feet. Both Of these
pieces were sold to c. II. Wiltsie, thn
Rochester Spectator, at the tax sale
held in April. 1900, and but one Of them
has been redeemed from such sale.
Mr. Darneille states that his cflco
has no way of determining whether ap-
plication was E:ade for redemption bills
for both pieces, but as the certificate
plainly cites two pieces, and the re
demption bill. which was paid for the
west fifteen feet, shows on its face to
be for one piece only, 1t seems that the
Title Company were in possession Of
sufficient information to enable them to
see that they redeemed the sale against
one piece of the property only.

PASSING OF LONG BRIDGE.
Contractors Making Rapid Progress
With New Structure.

The cid and historic Long Bridge will
soon be thing Of the past if the opera
tions which are at present being carried
on by the contractors of the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad Company continue
to move along as fast as they have in
the past month or more.
The location of nearly all Of the piers
for the bridge have been marked and
the caissons on which the draw will
rest are now being put in place. Only
few material changes have been made
in the plans as originally submitted TO
the War Department.
Congress at its recent session increas-
ed the cost Of the proposed highway
bridge in accordance with the recon-
mendations of the board OF army en-
gineers. composed of Colonel Allen, Cap
tains Burr and Deach. and Lieutenant
Hoffman. The appropriation bill giving
authority for this increase in cost has
not yet been certified to Colonel Allen,
so that it has not been possible to be
gin the work Of providing for the con-
structiOn of the bridge. The limit or
time in which this bridge could be con
structed has also been extended two
years from February L. 1903. The eX-
act plans for the bridge have not yet
been determined upon. All the engin-
eering features of the structure have
been settled. so that the board which Is
to have control over the construction
of the bridge is in a position to call for
bids very promptly. 1t is probable that
in calling for the bids opportunity VIII

own forms of construction and archi-
lecture within limitations as to strength

been omitted without injury to the sta

former statement that the Z-bars are

ncls as described in the report of Mr..
Somerv'lie
Part 3 refers to the delay in the Sc

is clearly not responsible for this de
lay. It has no bearing on the question
at issue. 1t has been duly considered in
allowing the contractor certain extern
sions of time without penalty or cost

Captain Newcomers Views.
Capt. II. c. Newcomer. acting Engineer
Commissioner. has forwarded the reports
to his colleagues upon The Board. ap-
proving them and recommending that the
contractor be required to furnish the
character OF ceiling recommended. He
says it was clearly indicated in the
original drawings as well as on the de-
tail drawing prepared after the contract
was made.
The Z-bars." continues Captain New
conner. which the contractor has
already placed are not an element OF
the roof truss construction. and were
furnished by the contractor without pro-
test.
1t is clear to my mind that this
feature is abundantly covered by that
clause OF the specifications which re-
fers TO the drawings and makes them
part OF the specifications. thus including
in the contract things shown in the
drawings. even though not specifically
mentioned in the specifications
1t is understood that the Board OF
Commissioners will approve the views
