WATER MAIN TAXES
MADE ON OWNERS
OF CORNER LOTS.
Corporation Counsel Renders an Opin-
ion-Matter of Cancelling Tax Sale
Also Passed Upon.

Corporation Counsel A. B. Duvall today
submitted two opinions to the District
Commissioners, one touching upon the
question of water main assessments in re-
spect to corner lots, and the other dealing
with the cancellation of a tax sale. The
former was rendered upon the communica-
ton of Mrs. E. H. Stevens, complaining
of the water main assessment against her
property at the corner of California and
Connecticut avenues, which with a report
of the assistant to the Engineer Com
missioner, was referred to counsel for ad-
vice. 1t appears that water mains were
laid in both avenues and the corner lot was
assessed therefor in accordance with the
provisions of the act of Congress approved
August H. 1884, providing that corner lots
should be taxed only on their front, with
a depth of not exceeding 100 feet. Any ex-
cess of the other front above the 1o0foot
depth was subjected to the usual rate of
assessment.
1T is claimed however" says Counsel
Duvall, that this property should not be
assessed for these water mains, or either
of them, because this and contiguous prop
erty was already supplied with Potomac
water.
Basis of the Claim.
This claim is based upon the fact that
on March 20. 1893. the Commissioners al
lowed the Washington Heights Water Sup
ply Company to have laid by the water de-
partment a three inch water connection
from the end of the existing main on the
south side of Wyoming avenue. northward
along 18th street extended to an ntersec-
ton with the pipe of the Washington
Heights Water Company on Columbia
road; but it was expressly provided In
that permit that nothing therein should be
construed as affecting any change in ex-
listing laws and regulations governing the
introduction and supply of Potomac water
and the Commissioners reserved the right
to cut off the said connection without COM
pensation any time when in their discretion
the public good might so require
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 be
cause it's capacity was insufficient to give
fire protection the Commissioners. as au-
thoriZed by act of Congress-, ordered the
laying Of the new mains for which the
aforementioned assessments were levied.
L am of the opinion that said assessments
were properly levied according to law; this
property had never been assessed for wa
ter main prior thereto, and the laying of
the above mentioned 3-iuch pipe under the
permit of March 20, 1893, did not exempt
the property from assessment for the water
main laid on California avenue and Con-
neCticut avenue"

in a while and enjoy picncs, and pub
lie gatherings and get away from the
isolation of country life, to say the
least I am surprised that all the
farmers don't join In and make our
cause a success; ever remembering
that ours is a common cause. Wheth-
er we are projecting great enterpris-
es or righting great wrongs, whether
on the aggressive or on the defen-
sive, ours is a common cause; our
interest is one and the same. And it
becomes us to stand together man to
man, never forgetting that in unity,
there is strength and safety, but in
division there is danger and defeat.
Let me ask all the sub secretaries
to send to me the quarterly dues for
the quarter ending September 80,
1902, so that I can forward same to
Bro. T. B. Parker, State Secretary
and Treasurer.
I found the Alliance in the u
ties that I have visited (of which |
may tell you more later on) in fairly
good condition, and some of them
rapidly gaining ground.

The Franklin County Farmers
Alliance met with Cypress Grove sub
ON October 8, 1902. The Alliance
was called to order and opened in
due form by the President, Bro.
Robert Moore, Bro. j. w. Coggin
acting as Chaplain. The regular
routine work gone through with, our
lecturer, Bro. Robt. Cooper, gave us
an address along the lines of trading
through the State Business Agency,
and also along educational lines.
The Alliance then adjourned for din
ner, which had been prepared by the
good sisters of this Alliance. Din
ner was served upon a long table.
which had been erected in the grove.
The brethren and sisters gathered
around this table, loaded and piled
up with it's good things to eat, and
the chaplain was called on to return
thanks to the Giver of all good gifts.
At 2 o'clock the rap of the gavel
called the Alliance to order. Bro.
Robt. Cooper offered a resolution.
1t was seconded, and a lively discus
sion followed, after which it was
adopted. The resolution had refer
ence to the I. L. Polk monument, and
suggested that the lady members of
each sub form missionary societies
to raise money for the Polk monu-
ment.
The following resolution of thanks
was adopted:
Resolved, That this Franklin
County Alliance tenders it's heart
felt thanks to the members of Cy-
press Grove Alliance and especially
to the sisters for their delicious and
bountiful dinner and also for the
manner in which it was served.
The next county meeting will be

Owe II
There is a considerable keGtl1nand
for cotton-root bark for use in man
ufacturing medicines. The bark
may be gathered after the lint is all
picked, SO that the price received
from sale of bark is clear profit.
To prepare cotton-root bark for
medicinal use, the stalks should be
pulled out of the ground before hard
frost. Wash them clean, and with a
shoe knife, or any convenient instru-
ment, strip the bark of the root from
the wood. Let the bark be taken off
as nearly whole as possible. Make
an incision through bark around the
stalk at point where surface of the
ground touched stalk, and take only
the part below this. Stem bark is of
no value, and chemists will not buy
it. The root bark, after removal
from the wood, must be dried under
cover. It is then ready for market.
Chemists and brokers in herbs buy
dry cotton-root bark in quantities of
500 pounds and over. The demand
is quite good, and cotton growers can
make some money out of the stalks,
while at same time Kidding the
ground of an encumbrance. The
price at present date is 3 cents per
pound. Anyone who has the bark for

ALAMANCE
Editor Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor OF The Progressive Farmer:
l found on my return home from
my eastern trip that my own county
had failed to hold a county Alliance
meeting. For some reason or other
there but few out. I am sorry
such was so.
When I think of the social, frater-
nal, and material benefits to be de-
rived from the Farmers Alliance,
and how peculiarly fitting it is for
us as farmers to meet together once

Cotton Root Bark.

Editor of The Progressive Farmer:
We are again receiving many n
quiries about affording a market for
cotton-root bark. It may be to-the
interest of your readers to republish
the annexed notice which was sent
out by the writer last year.
Very truly,

Cumberland County Farmers Al
lance met with Wade sub, and held
its regular meeting. Brother Gates
was with us, and made a very inter

one hundred and fifty persons pres

since the meeting regret that they
we're not present, as they had not
been informed that Brother Gates
would speak.
The next county meeting will be
held with Goodwin sub at Goodwin,
