STRICKEN FROM RECORD.
Corporation Counsel Duvall's opinio
Regarding Personal Taxes.

Following up the recommendation made
In his annual report, E. G. Davis, the col
lector of taxes recently made a formal re-
quest to the Commissioners to strike from
the records, as charged against the coilec-
tor, all personal taxes prior to and includ-
ing the fiscal year of 1902.
The law of 1877, under which these assess
ments were made, was by recent decision
OF the Supreme Court of the District de-
clared imperative and void. and, therefore.
the office of collector of taxes is helpless to
enforce payment of these taxes.
Congress, by the act of July l. 1902 made
provision for the collection of personal
taxes in the future, and the collector says
that to have these uncolectable arrears
charged against him only complicates the
records and serves no good purpose.
The matter was referred to Corpora ton
Counsel A. B. Duvall, with the request that
he render an opinion whether the action
recommended by Mr.. Davis would be adj
Visable. Mr.. Duvall has notified the Com
missioners that he is of the opinion the as
sessments mentioned should no longer be
carried upon the District tax books

walking along the railroad tracks near
where the steam road tracks cross the cleo
trio line. Mangan was dared to touch the
wire, and he did so by reaching down from
the steam railroad tracks. The force Of
the shock was so great that he was thrown
from the trestle to the ground. His hand
was burned by the wire. and his right arm
and leg were fractured by the fall.
The terribly injured boy was cared for
until the ambulance reached him, when he
was removed to the Emergency Hospital

though it will probably be several weeks
before he will be able to leave the hos
pital,
