ing an Assessment.

The Commissioners received this morn
ing from the corporation counsel an opin-
ion on the application of Mrs. Helen G..
Sparhawk for permission to pay without
interest an overdue special assessment on
certain property owned by her. The ques-
ton involved is the validity of the service
of notice OF assessment on the husband of

served by delivering the same to BENJAMIN
F. Sparhawk. for his wife. Helen G. Spar
hawk at his place OF business, room At,

Mrs. Sparhawk states that she was not
informed of the existence OF this assess
ment until a few days prior to her appli-
cation; that the property in question was
not acquired through her husband, either
by gift or conveyance: that her husband
is not now. nor has he ever been. her au-
thorized agent: that she has always been
a resident of the District. and her resi-
dence was known. etc.

sessments for local improvements is regu-
lated by the act of Congress approved Au-
gust z, 1894. which provides that interest
shall be charged at the rate Of per cent
