one day recently eleven bicycle tires were
slashed. Several days ago, he added, a
small white - was observed by a Senate
restaurant walter, who was looking out Of
the portico window, in the act of sticking
a knife blade in bicycle tires. The boy was
promptly taken into custody, but being of
tender age-ten years old-and rather dull,
and his father being a highly respectable
citizen. he was released with a lecture and
warning, upon his father paying all dam

The vandals employ two ways OF running

sticking them full of pin or nail holes. A

REALTY ASSESSMENTS
&al + PamrB C phndahNe
COMMISSIONERS AFFIx THEIR
SIGNATURES TO BOOKS.
The Values Fixed by Assistant Asses
sors, Afterward Readjusted, Are
Now Approved.

The District Commissioners today affixed
their signatures to the books containing
the new assessment on realty In the DIS
trict. The new values were first made oy
the board of assistant assessors and were
then adjusted by the board OF equalization
and review, of which Mr.. Darneille, the as
SCISSOR, is chairman.
The ashamed board completed its work
a few days ago, having carefully gone
over and noted the hundreds of pro-
tests which were filed by the property own
ers. Material reductions were made in the
new values all over the city. The most
important increases were made in the down
town business section, and these were re-
duced but little. The new assessment it is
believed, is generally satisfactory to the
taxpayers, and also complies with the
wishes of Congress that the revenues of the
District should be increased. The signing
of the assessment books, first by the board
of assessors and finally by the Commits
sioners, makes the new figures effective.
The assessors Office has been quite over
run at times during the present month by
persons seeking tax bills for the first haaf
of the present tax year. No tax is to be
paid this fall, taxes for the lull year being
due and payable next May. The payment
this fall was postponed by Congress on &C
count of the new assessment. After next
May the taxpayers can pay their taxes in
one two inStallments, just as they pre-
fer. They may pay the first half in NO
vember of each year or let the matter go
over and pay for the whole year each May.
The new law on the subject provides that
taxes may be paid in November and in
May, specifying .--ot there shall be no pen
atty attached to a failure to pay the first
half in November. This arrangement was
made to please equally those who favored
the one-payment and the two-payment plan.
1t will be several months Yet before the
exact total valuation of District realty as
fixed by the new assessment can be deter
mined. The board has fixed values at so
much per square foot. Each lot in the
District will have to be separately COM
puted therefore, before the totals are
learned.
The personal tax appeal board is still in
session at the District building and will
continue to sit until December TO-

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Result of Suit Involving Improve

Justice Hagner today dissolved the tenn

the case brought by Stilson Hutchins
against Carrie l.. Mum and others, to en-
join the construction of the addition to her

the Mum property, a portion of the lot
which is now being improved should never
be built upon. He further contended that
the construction of this addition was an
invasion of his property rights so far as
light and air are concerned, and that the
permit under which the defendants were
