TRACTION CAR WRECKED.
Result of Accident on Maryland
Avenue Grade Crossing.

A southbound Capital Traction car on the
18th street line was struck by shifting en-
CINE the Maryland avenue crossing
about 6 o'clock this morning and badly
damaged. There were several passengers
in the car at the time, but fortunately they
escaped injury.
A number of steam cars were parked on
the tracks near the crossing, and 1t was
impossible it is claimed, for the conductor
or motorman to see the engine approach
ing the crossing. The motorman could not
see the engine until the motor car was on
the steam road tracks. 1t was then too
late for him to avoid the accident and the
trailer was struck by the heavy engine.
1t is claimed the gates were not lowered
nor was there any warning signal displayed
to advise the motorman of the danger. At
the time the accident occurred the engine
was going fast enough to smash the street
car and throw it from the track.
The accident caused considerable excite
ment In the neighborhood becaus of re-
port that somebody had been killed. The
hurry up" wagon was called and the
wrecked car was soon removed to the
barn.

RECEIVING PROTESTS
CITIZENS oBJECTrTo INCREASED
VALUATION OF PROPERTY.
Statement by Assessor Darneille Re-
garding Reassessment-The Laws
Mandatory Provisions.

The board Of equalization and review at
the District building Is receiving large
number of protests against the increased
valuatio put upon property under the new
triennial assessments. Many Of these pro-
tests are unaccompanied by any figures.
explanation or argument such as the board
must have If a revision is to be made. In
speaking of the matter today, Mr.. II. II.
Darneille. chairman of the board, said:
There appears to be a serious misappre-
hension in the minds Of the taxpayers re-
garding the pending assessment of real es-
tate. Under the law of August Ia. 1894, the
assistant assessors were not obligated to
any specific assessment valuation and used
their wise discretion in making the assess
ments as low as possible in order to reach
the required necessities of congressional APP
preparations.
During the past winter demand was
made for an Increase of about two million
dollars over the last years revenues, one
half OF which. it was estimated, could be
realized from the real estate. That meant an
actual increase of about sixty-eight million
dollars over and above the last assessed
valuations.
What the Law Provides.
"All protests and appeals were overruled
and the law of July 1, 1902, makes it man
datory that all land and improvements
thereon shall be assessed at not less than
two-thirds Of the true value thereof.
I'VE have tried to reach equitable ad-
justment on the basis of the mandatory
minimum of what this law requires. The
extension OF time given for the revision was
entirely too short to accomplish SatiSfac-
tory results and many inequalities will I'M
doubtedly appear, also possible errors of
judgment In the estimate of what Is the
present true value of the property.
These errors and inequalities we are
willing to correct, and as a board of equali-
cation and review 1 assure the public that
we are extremely anxious to receive any re-
liable information that will enable us to re-
duce any. assessment that is found to be in
excess Of the two-thirds basis
"A great many appeals have been received
which have evidently been prepared without
regard to the mandatory requirements Of
the law, and are simply pro forma' in the
hope of securing a reduction Of the assess
ment without giving any reasons therefor
or any estimate to the true value Of
the property.
THE board is unanimous in a feeling Of
regret that the law requires the increased
valuations"
