prince. But the plotters were not dis
couraged. They were simply to re-
move the theater of their evil opera

chief Of the plotters was Casparin, the

the plot was to place Casparln upon
the throne of Deneslia before the prince

Part Payment Might Invalidate.

William p. Richards, assistant engineer
in charge of street extension matters, has
submitted a report to the District Commits
sioners relative to the payment of assess
ments on lot 3, block 90, Columbia Heights,
arising from the extension OF Columbia
road east of 18th Streer
Especial assessments" says Mr. Rich
ards, have very generally been paid on
subdivided property before allowing 1t to
be placed on record. Where any deviation
has been allowed from the order it has been
because the interests of the District were
subserved in having the plat recorded. By
reason Of the fact that assessments for
street extensions are paid in four annual
tnStallmentS the question has been raised as
to whether one more Of these INSTALL
ments did not comply with the Commits
stoners' order as to the payment Of any
special assessment in street extension
case The rule has generally been, how
ever, to require the total assessment on all
small lots or portions Of ground.
The question Of dividing the assessments
so as to allow part of the assessment to
be paid where 1t refers to a portion Of the
tract that is assessed has been raised on
one or two occasions and passed upon by
the attorney, who decided that any appor-
ttcHment or division of the assessment ac-
cording to pro rata rule might invalidate
the whole assessment"
