DISTRICT CLERKS
TRIBUTE TO MR.. ROSS
COUNSEL TO DECIDE
STATUS OF AN ALLEY
The Computing Engineers Report on
Practice in Similar Cases Be-
fore Commissioners.

Afr. H. L. Rust. of COS Fourteenth
Street northwest. recently wrote to the
District Commissioners asking whether
the six-foot strip cf~land adjoining lot
and extending to the rear of lot G.
square $50. is a public alley. If so. he
requested that obstructicns in the alley
be removed.
Mr.. c. 3. Hunt the Computing En-
gineer, has reported with reference to
the matter as follows:
This alley is not regarded by this
office as public alley. for the reason
that in analogous cases in the past the
facts have not been held to constitute
a dedication or acceptance as such. The
District has never done any work On
the alley. and its width and situation
are such that II is not desired or nee
essary as a part OF the alley system
Of the square. II is a fact that its area
has been exempted from taxation. but
this circumstance has been noted in
other cases in the past and is consid-
cred as an inadvertence. l recommend
that the writer be informed that the
and that the Assessor be directed to
list its area for taxation"
Col. John Biddle, the Engineer Com
missioner. has approved the report and
has forwarded it 10 the board with the
request that the matter be referred to
the Corporation Counsel for an opinion.

port to the effect that the cash receipts

ior appearances.
There is still needed to place the
proper comfort and conveniences here a

1t goes without saying that the more
comforts we place here the more pa
irons We invite. The greater the pat
ronage We have the greater the number
OF stands rented. and with an increase OF
stands rented the greater the cash re-
ceipts. We also need ten new stands.
The stands now in use were built and
first occupied November 10, 1876. With
scarcely any repair for nearly twenty
six years. they are. to say the least, in
anything but an inviting condition.
Exterior Needs Painting.

painting. The brickwork has been ex-
posed to the elements for tYenty-six
years. and is very badly stained and

THE ASSESSORS BUSY
WITH PERSONAL TAXES
Time Fully Occupied With
Lists Brought In.
Next Tuesday the Last Day Papers Can
Be Filed Under the

The time of the assistant assessors
and their clerks is very fully occupied
with the reception Of the lists OF per-
sonal propcrtv. Mex; Tuesday is the last
day on which the lists can be fled under
the law. and each day the crowd seeking
TO file their papers increases.
A considerable time is spent by the
assessors answering questions OF those
who have become confused over the
meaning of the law. The phrase "a
fair value" gives good deal of trouble
Many Of those making out the lists have
difficulty in settling in their minds what
fair value of household property is.
Know What They Cost.
They know perhaps what their pos
sessions cost. and they have some vague
idea what they might bring at the auc
tion rooms. but how to settle upon a
value somewhere between these limits,
SO as to determine the fair cash value,
stumps the majority of those seeking to
file lists. In despair they come 20 the
assessors. and It becomes necessary to
