RULING ON DRAINAGE
OF UNIMPROVED LOTS
Opinion of Corporation Counsel
Regarding Incidental Expenses.

In answer to three inquiries made by
the Commissioners, Corporation Coun-
sci Duvall. in an opinion submitted to-
day holds:
First. that the cost of advertising for
drainage of unimproved lots should not
be assessed against every lot specified
in the advertisement. but that the cost
should be assessed against such lots as
may be connected with sewers by order
of the Commissioners and at the expense
OF the District.
Second, that the cost OF publication
notices to nonresident owners and the
expense Of advertising for proposals to
do the work when the connection is
made by order of the Commissioners
should be included in "the necessary ex-
pense of advertising"
Third, that no portion OF the cost of
advertising can be assessed against the
property of a nonresident owner who.
after the publication of a notice, causes
the required connection to be made at
his or her own expense.

NO CONSOLIDATION
OF RETAIL BUTCHERS
Eastern and Western Asso-
Citations Fail to Combine.
FIGHT ON SUNDAY OPEN SHOP
Great Barbecue and Athletic Carnival
Arranged for Visitors by Local As
ISOLATION for This Afternoon.

The consolidation of the Eastern and
Western Retail Butchers Associations
has failed TO materialize. and the re-
tail butchers, it is said, are still largely
at the mercy of the wholesale meat
dealers. This feature is due to a dis
agreement on the proportion of repre-
sentation in the national convention.
After the rejection of the consolida-
ton plan, the two associations con-
tinued the regular business of the an
nual conventions. The Western AS
ISOLATION, hitherto known as the Ma
tional Butchers Protective Association.
changed its name to the Western But
chers' of America.
a resolution was passed asking Sec
rotary Wilson, of the Department OF
Agriculture, to frame new rules for the
inspection of meat, and also consider
the establishment of a microscopicaI in
spection of hog products for the United
States. similar to that used in Germany.
Trading Stamps Condemned.
The Eastern Association passed a res
olution condemning the trading stamp
system, which they regard as expensive
and productive of no returns. They will
make an appeal to Congress or the State
Legislatures asking that this system be
declared illegal
The association voted to aid the
Washington dealers in their fight
against the Sunday open shop.
Both associations elected officers.
The visiting trustees will be enter
tanned by the Washington association at
their annual barbecue and athletic car
nival this afternoon and evening at the
Benning race track Half a dozen cattle
will be roasted, and a big athletic pro-
gram has been arranged by Prof NJ. A.
Joyce of Carroll Institute. The win
ners Of the events will receive hand
some medals.

SECRETARY HAY RETURNS
FROM HIS SUMMER HOME
Has Nothing to Communicate Concern
ing Diplomatic Affairs.

Secretary Hay returned to Washington
this morning from his summer home at
Lake Sunapee, N. H.. and resumed his
work at the State Department. Mr.. Hay
will not leave Washington again before
Congress conyenes.
Mr.. Hay said he was not called back
10 Washington by any matters of great
Importance. He had no news to give
out concerning the Turkish situation or
the Panama Canal negotiations. Mr..
Hays return this morning was unex-
pected and consequently he had few
callers, and remained in his Office only a
short time.

Much adverse criticism is heard be-
. cause of the evident risk the President
was allowed 10 run when he attended
services Sunday at the Grace Reformed
Church. At the time Elliott approached
the President close enough to grasp his

May Increase Dues.

Another question of vital Importance
to the association is financial reorgani-
cation, and it is probable that the con-
vention will adopt resolution provid-
ing for larger dues for the association
at the evening session.
The reports OF the committees on ma
tional legislation and trademarks and
patents were read this morning by John
Gallagher. Jersey City. and z. 3. fainter
Carroll, Iowa. respectively. The sub
stance of these two reports was pre-
sented to President Roosevelt when a
committee of the n. A. r. d. called upon
him at the White House yesterday.
These reports advocated a change in
the laws whereby patents on compounds
will be prohibited and patents on pro-
cesses be encouraged.
The delegates and visitors went down
the river on an excursion to Mount Ver-
non at o'clock this afternoon. They
will return TO Washington at o'clock,
and this evening the open session of the
committee on resolutions will be held.
in which much of the important busl-
ness of the convention will be trans
acted.
