Abatement of Nuisances

The third opinion of the day deals with
the draft of bill to provide for the abate-
ment of nuisances in the District of Column
bia, which was referred to the solicitor for
a report. The bill was drawn by the health
officer, and the solicitor, passing upon its
legal form. says:
The object of the bill is to provide a
mode of carrying into effect laws and regu-
lations now in force and such as may here
after be made respecting the maintenance
of real property in such condition as shall
not endanger the health or safety of the
occupants, of persons living in the vicinity
and of the public generally.
Existing laws and regulations on the
subject, in many instances. are incapable
of enforcement because of ownership by
nonresident or by persons too aged or in
firm TO be within the reach of criminal
prosecution and the like
With some corrections and amendments
which he indicates the solicitor pronounces
the bill in good form and says its enact
ment into law is quite desirable.

Jacoby Sewer Contracts.

A second opinion is the subject of
the status Of the sewer contracts of the
late John Jacoby on which no work has
been done since Mr.. JacobyS death some
weeks ago. W. A. Richards, surety on one
of the contracts, has offered to complete
that portion of the work provided the time
limit is extended. The solicitor says it ap-
pears from the papers submitted to him
that the several contracts have not yet eX-
pired; that the administrator and the sure
ties on the bonds to secure the contracts
have been notified to proceed to complete
the work upon the sewers, and that ac-
ton has been taken by them or any of
them. He then continues:
Il am of the opinion that the sureties
under the several contracts unless the
Commissioners exercise their right to re-
Scind and relet the contracts, have the right
to complete the work under the same terms
and conditions as Mr.. Jacoby would have
done, his administrator might
complete the same. payment therefor to be
adjusted by them with the administrator,
as indicated in the opinion of the controller
OF the treasury.
Il think that the notices sent the sureties
on said several contracts sufficient to
hold them liable for default in not complet-
ing the work under the contracts
Il am of the opinion that the above
mentioned offer of Mr.. w. A. Richards Is
not a tender of performance Of contract No.
2>S9 by the surety thereon.
The Commissioners are now at liberty
TO annul the said contract and to readver-
tise for completing the unfinished work
hereunder. and the sureties will then be
afforded opportunity to protect themselves
from loss by bidding thereon.
1T is very doubtful whether the Commits
s!oners are authorized to complete part of
the work by day labor as recommended by
the superintendent of sewers. and it would
not he advisable to do so if the amount in
yOlVed is large

Hotel Liquor Cases.

The fourth opinion was rendered on a re-

In writing as to the requirements for the
issue of warrants in hotel liquor cases un-
der the decision of the District Court of
on January In the case of Lehman
against District of Columbia.
The decision of the court in that case"
says the solicitor, contained nothing at
variance with the construction heretofore
placed upon the act of Congress reguiat-
ing the sale of intoxicating liquors in the
District of Columbia. Its decision was an
afl1rmance of the Police Court and no
additional requirements for the issue of
warrants in hotel liquor cases are made
necessary thereby"

FOUR LEGAL OPINIONS
FURNISHED TODAY BY THE CITY
SOLICITOR.
Interesting Facts as to Case of Wharf
and Street.-The Jacoby
Contracts.

Four opinions on questions involving
knotty points of law, rendered to them to-
day by Mr.. A. b. Duvall. the city solicitor,
set the District Commissioners to thinking
of Blackstone for a while, to the exclusion
of all other matters.
One of the opinions is in regard to the
proposed lease of wharf property by the
municipal authorities at 30th and K streets
northwest. 1t appears that IN response to
an advertisement February II, 1902, sew
eral written proposals to lease this wharf
property for the term of three years have
been received by the Commissioners L. E.
Smoot was the highest bidder his proposal
being for 1926 per annum. 1t further ap-
pears that the proposals were made upon
the basis of including part of the wharf
property the area of Both street extending
northward 115 feet. That is to say, the
proposition was to lease the water front
and part of the public street for depth of
10 feet. A protest against this has been
filed by Littleteld, Alvord & Company, on
the ground that they are lessees of prop
erty lying on the east of Both street be-
tween Virginia avenue and the Potomac
river. and if the lease is executed they will
be shut off from access to that part Of
their property. All the papers in the case,
including the protest, were referred to the
city solicitor, and he has now returned
them, saying:
'Thrtieth street is public street in the
CITY Ol w dSNlHStOU, anu mas an asphalt
pavement to the south line of Virginia
avenue. The computing engineer states in
his Endorsement among the papers that
under the schedule the pavement will be
carried during the present fiscal year
tirely to the wharf
The Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia are charged under the organic
act with the control of the highways; it is
their duty to keep them clear and unob-
structed. and unless expressly authorized
by Congress, they are without authority to
lease for private purposes a street or any
portion of a public highway. To do so
would be to deprive the public of its right
to use the highway as such.
The Commissioners authorized by
law TO rent the wharf property, the control
been committed to them by Congress; but
1 am of the opinion that this authority
does not carry with 1t the right to rent
part of a public street The lessee of the
wharfing privileges would be entitled to use
the abutting street upon like terms and
conditions as the owners of other property
abutting thereon, but not to use the same
to the exclusion of such abutting property
owners.
Mr.. Smoot the bidder in this case. is
unwilling TO take the lease for the wharfing
privileges alone. as he desires to use a part
of the street for private storage purposes.
| no reason why the Commissioners
may not advertise for bids for the lease of
wharfing privileges at the foot of Both and
X streets northwest l am informed that
the part of the street above referred to has
been and is now, obstructed and occupied
with lumber, etc. If this is the fact the
occupant should be required forthwith to
remove such distractions"

restrain the Board of Registrars Of Mont

visions Of Sections 100, 1Ss. ls4 and i~G
at Article VIII Of the new CONSTITUTE ,n
of Alabama. This Is the third attempt
within six months made by Giles against
the new organic law OF the State.
The bill was aled yesterday and win
come up before the United States Court

The bill alleges that e. Jeff Harris. VIII

County of Montgomery. after Giles had
met all the reQuiy sments for registration.
The hill further alleges that there are
over 5000 negroes in Alabama who have
been refused the right of suffrage In the
same manner.
The bill goes on to say that the new
Constitution was called for the avowed
purpose of DISTINGUISHING the negroes
and exhibits clippings from different
State papers to establish the fact. II
also states that Hon. John B. Knox.
