NOT ENTITLED TO EXEMPTION.
Home of Little Sisters Of the Poor
Must Pay Water Rent

Mr.. Robert I. Fleming has written to the
District Commissioners in behalf of the
Little Sisters of the Poor, asking If there is
not some way in which the charitable home
conducted by the sisters at I'd and H streets
northeast cannot be exempted from the
payment of water rent The sister supe-
rior was recently notified by the District
water department that 1t would be neces-
sary to place meter on the pipes lead
ing into the institution.
The home is charitable institution
says Mr.. Fleming, taking care for a
number of years of many of our poor of
the District, who otherwise would have
to be placed in the alnshouse. thus entail
ing charge and expense upon the Dis
trict. These Little Sisters of the Poor are
supported mainly by charity from our citi-
zens, either In cash, provisions or clothing,
and derive no support from the District or
federal government. l trust that you can
find way to exempt this institution from
the expense of putting in the meter
In report upon the matter Water Regis
trar Green states that the institution being
neither a charity school nor orphan
asylum. and receiving appropriation
from Congress, it is not entitled to exemp-
ton under the following clause of the act
of Congress approved June 80. 1893: THE
Commissioners of the District are hereby
authorized TO furnish Potomac water with
out charge to orphan asyiumS and charity
schools and such institutions receive
appropriations from Congress, an amount
to be fixed in each case by the Commits
sloners. He states that there is ques-
uoning the fact that this is a purely chart
table institution, but in the absence of a
law granting an exemption the water de-
partment cannot give the relief sought 1t
is suggested, however, that effort be made
at the coming session of Congress to have
all charitable institutions placed upon an
equal footing with orphan asylums and
charity schools. The writer will be in
formed that until such authority is granted
by Congress it will be necessary for the
ton.
