Is it desirable to have in the Council
a man of affairs, a man who will be
able to do things not only by reason
of executive ability, but by virtue OF

that this end can be accomplished but
a probability that it is even now being

The Coroner Notified.
COMPLIMENT COL. BATES,
Commissioners Greeting Upon Accept
ing His RESIGNATION.

In officially notifying Colonel James A
Bates OF the acceptance of his resignation
as a member of the board of assistant
assessors and the excise board of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the Commissioners to-
Gay addressed him a letter in which they
express their high appreciation of the serv-
ice the colonel has rendered the District
during his tenure of office. To the official
letter of the Commissioners, Commissioner
Ross added personal note. Mr.. Ross is
the Commissioner in charge of all matters
of taxes and assessments and his associa-
ton with Colonel Bates has been intimate
1t Is safe to say that all the officials at the
District building who have come in per-
sonal contact with Colonel Bates approve
OF ard reiterate all the Commissioners have
to say. Colonel Bates is deeply respected,
and his departure from office on the first
of June, when he goes on leave until the
Both of that month, will be sincerely re-
GREETED in municipal circles.
The letter of the Commissioners to Colo
mel Bates is signed by Mr.. Henry B. F.
Mcfarland, president of the board and Is
follows:
THE Commissioners of the District of
Columbia have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your written request to be
relieved from your official duties on the
goth of June next, with leave of absence
from the LIST to 3Oth inclusive.
In accepting the res gnation so rendered
the Commissioners desire to emphasize the
fact that 1t is entirely voluntary on your
part; and they express their regret that
disability caused largely by your efficient
service in the army of the United States
and the wounds received during that period
have rendered it necessary for you to take
this step.
During your tenure of office of nearly
eight years, both as a member of the
board of assistant assessors and as
member of the excise board
your official service to the Dis
trict has been most satisfactory; and
the Commissioners assure you that you
carry with you into your retirement from
public duty the best wishes of all connected
with the District governments"
Mr.. Ross personal expression of regret
to Colonel Bates was as follows:
MY Dear Colonel Bates: This is the
first opportunity l have had of acknowledge
ing your personal note to me of May 10
with regard to the treatment received by
you at my hands during your official term
I cannot express the sorrow l feel that your
physical condition seems to require you to
leave the public service. l have been thor
oughly impressed with your integrity of
character and great ability and 1t seems
to me like sundering personal tie when
you leave the office.
II earnestly hope that your health may
improve and that you may have many
years of comfort and prosperity"

IMPERFECT1Y DESCRIBED.
Property Owner Wants to Pay Taxes
on Lots by Number.

L. R. Bond has written to the District
Commissioners stating that several years
ago he became interested in certain lots
seventy six in number, in part of the SUBJ
division called"Fne Enlarged" on the Ana
costa road He SAYS the lots are laid down
in a plat on lie fl the Office of the sur
veyor, with others smaking 1872 in all, and
are there called ''Douglass."
Mr. Bond says he experiences considera-
BILE difficulty fh paying taxes on these lots
owing to imperfece description. and that
there is no other uaay to identity the prop
erty than by the numbers Of the lots. He
ers be issued giving him the privilege to
pay taxes on the numbers of the lots, as
suggested. E
A report from the assessors office on the
matter states that it is contrary to the
practice Of the office to allow taxes to be
paid as Mr.. Bond suggests, but that after
a conference with the engineer in charge Of
streets the assistant assessor sees no obiec-
ton to permitting 1t in this case. and it is
recommended that such privilege be ex-
tended to Mr.. Bond and the other owners
of property in the tract called Douglass y

was not included in a tax certificate. 1t
seems that instead of reciting the tax due
the certificate contained the words See

the District Commissioners with the state
ment that the whole matter seems to in

have looked up the sale in question or
whether 1t devolved upon the title COM

Altar Of Roses,

In trade the rose Is very valuable, as
the affairs of India and Persia sell at
a very high price, and there are large
districts of rose gardens In which men
and women are employed, the harvest
months being March and April In
Turkey also roso farming is largely
carried on, and very fine altar Is got
from the rose grown in Kashmir.
Even rosewater Is luxury which is
by no means to DO despised as to price,
but the altar Of roses is immensely
costly, and it takes an enormous num-
Der OF flowers to distil even n few
drops
The altar is said to have been first
discovered by the favorite wife Of
Jehan Jeer, through whose garden ran
n canal OF rosewater, on the surface Of
which the begun found few drops
