Corner Lots.

. That corner lots shall be taxed only
on their front. with a depth of not
! exceeding one hundred feet. any excess
Of the other front over one hundred
feet shall be subject to above rate OF
assessment
1T is claimed, however. that this
property should not be assessed for
these water mains OF either of them,
because this and contiguous property
was already supplied with Potomac
water.
This claim is based upon the fact
that on March 20. 1893. the Commission
ers allowed the Washington Heights
Water Supply Company to have laid by
the water Department three-inch con-
nection from the end of the existing
main on the south side of Wyoming
Avenue northward along Nineteenth
street extended to an intersection with
the pipe OF the Washington Heights Wa
ter Company on Columbia Road: but IL
was expressly provided in that permit
that nothing therein should be construed
as enecting any change in existing laws
and regulations governing the introduc-
tion and supply of Potomac water and
the Commissioners reserve the right to
cut of the said connection without com
pensation any time when In their dis
cretion the public good may so require.
Necessary to Change Grade.
1T appears that it became necessary
TO change the grade OF the avenues: this
would have involved the lowering of the
aforementioned pipe laid in 1893. but
because its capacity was insufficient to
give fire protection the Commissioners.
as authorized by act of Congress. or
dered the laying of the new mains for
which the above mentioned assessments
were levied.
Il am of the opinion that said assess
ments were properly levied according 20
law; this property had never been as
sessed for water main prior thereto;
and the laying of the aforementioned
three-inch pipe under the permit OF
March 20, 1893 did not exempt the prop
erty from assessment for the water main
laid on California Avenue and Connecti-
cut Avenue"

In Similar Vein.

Mr.. Hiram McCollum writes in a
similar vein.
The Commissioners will inform them
that the municipal authorities have no
power to act In the premises.
If the growing roosteTs constitute a
nuisance such as Is contemplated by the
law, the writer's will be told that their
redress Is in the Police Court, where
they may swear out personally informa-
tions against the owners complained of.
In cases OF this kind the Commis-
sioners say the police OF the precinct
are powerless to act. as they cannot
swear that another person is annoyed
by a Growing rooster. The policemen
themselves cannot appear as complain
ants for obvious reasons.
