FAVORABLY REPORTED.
Auditor Approves Bill for Relief of
Holders Of Scrip,

Mr.. ]. T. Petty, the District auditor, has
submitted a statement to the District Com
missioners in regard to House bill 1885,
for the relief Of holders and owners Of GER
tain District of Columbia special tax scrip,
which had been referred by the House Dis
trict committee to the Commissioners. Mr..
Petty says the bill proposes to redeem GER
tain special tax scrip which was issued to
pay contractors for work done in laying
pavements under the late corporation of
Washington and its SUCCESSOR the board of
public works. 1t was made a lien against
the property abutting the line Of improve
ment, and bore interest at the rate Of 10
per cent per annum.
LAS the tax cannot now be collected"
Mr.. Petty says, land the city has enjoyed
the of the pavement, I am of the opin-
ion that the scrip should be redeemed, and
that interest at per cent is a reasonable
allowance, and should be granted. 1 have
the honor to recommend that the bill be
favorably reported"
Commissioner Ross has approved the rec
ommendation. The amount involved Is not
large.

CHANGE IN DATE NECESSARY.
Monument to Spanish War Dead to Be
Dedicated May 81.

The date originally decided upon for the
dedication of the monument in the Spanish
war section of Arlington, in memory of the
American soldiers who gave up their lives
during the war with Spain, was April 30
next, the contractors having agreed to
have the shaft in readiness not later than
April -. letter just received by Com
mander Lipscomb of the District Corps.
Spanish War Veterans, from Mrs. A. Lfv-
.ngston Mason, New York city, secretary
of the estimate and design committee, and
a member of the dedication committee of
the National Society of Colonial Danes
states that it will be impossible, she thinks
to dedicate the monument on the date
named. Mrs. Mason says:
Il desire to thank, through you, the
brave Spanish war veterans of the Dis
trict for their interest in our endeavor to
honor the memory of their comrades by
assisting us at the dedication ceremonies.
The immense work of receiving suitable
designs and having them passed upon and
ing the monument has kept us actively oc-
cupied. Therefore the dedication cere-
monies will probably not take place until
May p, in the afternoon
The National Society, Colonial Danes Of
America, has been furnished with a COM
plete list Of the organizations comprising
the District of Columbia corps, as follows:
Seven commands; an armed escort guard;
four ladies' auXiliaries, and the Spanish
War Veterans Band. The services Of these
have been rendered to the Colonial Danes,
through Mrs. Mason. The matter has also
been brought to the attention Of Adjt. Gen.
l.. c. Dyer Of the National Army, Spanish
War Veterans, and it Is probable that the
national organization will take hand in
the event, with the result that commands
from other cities will visit Washington and
participate in the ceremonies.
1t is also expected that a large number
of Colonial Danes from all sections will
be here and take part in the dedicatory
services, and the local council Is preparing
for their reception. Miss Violet Blair jan
in of ~ Lafayette square, an officer Of the
District Council, Colonial Danes, is in COM
with Commander Lipscomb, in
order that there may be unanimity Of ac-
ton between the two organizations.

PAVING STOCK CERTIFICATES.
Redemption Asked for Three Which
Were Issued in 1871.

The District Commissioners have received
letter from Attorney c. F. Wollard with
reference to the redemption Of three paving
stock certificates. issued against lot 1,
square 80; lot Fl, square 80, and part Of lot
l. square 80, near the old naval observa-
tory. He stated these certificates are now
held by Mr.. Allen c. Clark, and were issued
January p, 1871, in the name of Hugh
Cameron, their aggregate face value being
$201.72.
Mr.. Wollard asserts the records in the
Office of the assessor show that Mr. Cam
eron never owned or had any interest in
the property described, other than lot /,
square 30. He says the records also show
that the first installment of a special as
sessment against lot l was paid, and that
there still remains unpaid the second, third
and fourth instalments of the same tax.
Mr.. Wollard asks that the matter be re-
ferred to the accounting officers Of the Dis
triot for report and recommendation
thereon.
Mr.. E. G. Davis, the collector of taxes.
has reported the results of a careful search
of the records in his office. in which he de-
scribes the certificates. and states that they
bear on their face every evidence of hav-
ing been issued correctly. He says they
agree In every particular with the original
stub from which they were taken. Mr. Da-
Wis is Of the opinion that there must have
been some 1rregularity in the issue of the
certificates, as the records of the special
assessment clerk do not show that Hugh
Cameron had any interest in the property,
but the extent Of that irregularity the Of
flee Is unable to determine. Mr.. ]. T. Petty.
the auditor. recommends the reference Of
the papers to the city solicitor for an opin-
ION whether or not the certificates were
issued in error, and to correct the error if
such exists. This action has been approved
by the Commissioners

PHYSICAL CULTURE EXERCISE.
Contest for Six Medals Participated in
BY Students.

An exhibition of physical culture exer-
cises in the form of a contest for six med
ais made up the program of the gradual
ing classes of the Ralston University last
night. Ralston Hall, in the university
building on G street, was well filled, and
the contests awoke the most enthusiastic
interest. Those who made the awards
were: Referee, DR.. Franklin T. Howe
judges, Edwin b. Hay, chairman; Rev.
Charles c. Morhart, Miss Sarah Willard
Howe, Miss Marie Collins, Mr.. Gilbert N
Haugen, j. c. NJ. Hanson and DR.. H. w.
Woodward.
Six classes participated, three Of men
and three of women, and many of those
who. took part were persons rather adj
vanced in years. The audience included
many young people no doubt related to the
elders on the stage, and the sight of their
parents contesting for prizes in tests of
agility and suppleness awoke continued
laughter. The awards We're made on bases
OF accuracy and grace of movement.
Several of the figures were very beauti-
full But the most general interest was
manifested in the exercises given as sep
arate movements. In one of these forty
women seated themselves on the stage
and, to the rhythmic accompaniment of the
piano. initiated a contest between racing
shells. A second separate movement con-
sisted of a May dance, wherein the colors
worn by the several classes mingled with
most beautiful effect.

WANTS Exowr1eN MADE.
MI. McNamara's Contamination Re-
garding Work atuHome for Aged.


Martin McNamara az oOe A street south
east recently requested the. District Com
missioners to make an exception to the
plumbing regulations relative tes work done
by him at the Ruppert Home for the Aged.
Mr.. Mcnamara based his application upon
his lack of knowledgeas to the regulations
and his desire to have the work cost the
institution as little an possible. 1t appears
the regulations were. violated in that u
three-inch water connection several hun
dred feet in length and about 1000 feet of
six-inch terra Gotta pipe we're laid by him
contrary to the regulations MI permit was
issued for the work, and 1t was not in
spected. The regulations specify that such
work shall be done by registered plumber,
while Mr.. Mcnamara has no such license.
Mr.. o. l.. ingalls,, the inspector of plumb
Ing, In report upon the subject, says the
attention of his Office was first called to
the matter by Mr.. Mcnamara, who re-
quested a certificate Of approval Of the
plumbing work performed by him as stated.
Continuing Mr.. ingalls, says: =
Under the circumstances have thought
1t best to procure a warrant for Mr.. Nc
Namara for doing plumbing work in the
District without a license, and the ease Is
now pending in the Police Court. AS Mr..
Mcnamara appears to have been misied
when he entered into a contract to do this
work, and as he has been given permission
to lay water pipe in at least one other
'ioCdAty III lIe blStTict, i WOuiQ Respectfully
recommend that he be informed that it will
be necessary for him to procure the serv-
Ices Of a registered plumber for the pur-
pose OF exposing such parts of the plumbing
work as this Office may deem necessary Tor
the purpose of making proper inspection
and also for the purpose of making what
ever changes are found necessary in the
plumbing work in order that the same may
fully comply with the plumbing regula-
tions."

CITIZENS ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Business of Interest Transacted and
Committees Appointed.

A meeting OF the Northeastern Suburban
Citizens Association was held in the Path
finder building, Langdon, D. c., last night.
President E. A. NJ. Lawson presided and
Secretary L. II. Patterson recorded the
minutes. The following new members were

DIR. ]. r. Hamilton, ]. H. Langford G. W.

Phelps and S. G. Meyer.
A motion was adopted instructing the
committee on streets, parks and lights to
interview the owners of property through
which Frankfort street will pass and en-
deavor to have the land donated for that
purpose. 1t seemed to be the sense of the
association that in case of condemnation
proceedings benefits would be assessed
against all but one piece of property, and
that therefore it would be wise for the
property owners affected to donate the
ground necessary.
Mr.. Patterson reported that the District
Commissioners would not grant a hearing
to representatives of the association upon
the bill providing for the extension of New
York avenue or other street extension DlllS
until the loan bill becomes a law, but that
he was assured of a hearing upon the park
bill within a few days. He called attention
to the action of the Engineer Commits
sioner in recommending to his colleagues
that New York avenue be not extended far
Their east than Montana avenue. On mo-
ton the officers were instructed to file a
strong protest Immediately against this
action.
Mr.. Sexton moved that the officers be in
Structed to request the first assistant post
master general to establish substation at
Langdon and furnish free delivery to the
residents of this section. The motion was
adopted.
Mr.. Harvey moved that the association
request the superintendent of county roads
to clean the cutters on all graded streets in
