DRAINAGE OF LOTS.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Submits
an Opinion.


Mr.. A. Leftwich Sinclair. assistant cor
poration counsel, has submitted to the
Commissioners an opinion on certain ques-
lions which have arisen under the act OF
Congress providing for the drainage Of lots
In the District Mr.. Sinclair says:
Il am of the opinion that the cost of the
be assessed against every lot specified in
the advertisement. including lots which
may be connected with sewers or water
mains by nonresident owners at their
own cost, but that the proportionate cost of
the advertising should be assessed only
against such lots as may be connected with
sewers or water mains by order of the Com
miSsioners and at the expense of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
.i las to the second inquiry as to whether
the necessary expense Of advertisement as
named in said section includes both the
cost of publication Of notices to non-resi-
dent owners and also the expense Of adver-
Using for proposals to do the work where
the connection is made by direction of the
Commissioners. or relates only to the ex-
pense of advertising for proposals. 1 think
Congress intended that the expense of all
advertising rendered necessary by the fail
ure of the owner to make these connections
should be borne by the owner. and l am
accordingly of the opinion that both the
cost of publication of notices to non-resi-
dent owners and the expense Of advertising
for proposals to do the work. where the
connection Is made by order of the Com
mssioners. should be included in the neces-
sary expense of advertising.
LAS to the third inquiry, whether any por-
ton of the cost of advertising can be as
sessed against the lot or lots Of non-resi-
dent owner, who, after publication of no
tice causes the required connection to be
made at his or her own expense, am Of the
opinion that no portion of the cost of adver-
Using in such case can be assessed against
the property of the owner.
