Summer Garb for Policemen.
To the Editor Of The Evening Star:

Az Tic E<lItoE u 1uc ENchlhS star.
The federal government appears to be
more careful to provide suitable summer
clothing for our soldiers than the local gov
eminent is for our policemen. The light
khaki uniform of the former or something
similar in texture would become the latter
in appearance and certainly in point of ex-
pense. The year 1898 afforded US forty days
with the thermometer at 80. and when it
reaches 1O1 degrees, as on the Sd instant
to insist upon clothing unnecessarily heavy
is almost a crime. AS to cost, we under
stand that $15 is the price charged each
policeman by Baltimore firm for sack
coat and trousers such as are worn in the
hottest weather. Considering the quantity
and quality provided the cost appears high.
Certainlyit could be greatly lowered and yet
could yield something both light and pleas
ing for sultry weather. The khaki blouse
and trousers of the soldiers together vary
in cost to them of from $2.75 to 81. 1t
would seem practicable for the officials at
the head of the police departments of vari-
Gus cities to combine their orders for uni
forms, If necessary, so as to reduce, as far
as possible, the cost to the individual po-
iceman. and the writer does not doubt that
upon investigation the difference in price
Of the winter and spring uniforms Of the
soldiers or federal officers as compared
with that charged the policemen for theirs
might prove of interest to those concerned.
And now as to beholders. the citizens eyes
can hardly be said to feast upon the pres
emit appearance Of our summer policemen
The chronic blue cloth for all seasons wea-
ries the eye, and of late years is not even
relieved by the cheerful white vest in
which our peacemakers used to dis
port themselves. That vest did place
them somewhat in harmony with me sum-
mer solstice, but now for some reason I'M
known to the writer it appears no more.
Thus adorned in their airy uniforms this
noble race of men would lend splendor to
our capital as they moved about conscious
of their inward worth and outward beauty,
a joy to themselves and to all men Of
peaceful purposes.

TAXES WITHOUT INTEREST.
Suggestion Regarding Property Not
Readvertised in 1883.


Mr. H. H Darneille, the District assessor,
has called the attention Of tho District Com
missioners to the fact that the corporation
counsel has recently decided that the adj
vertisements for sale Of property for taxes
for years prior to 1887, and for the 1887 tax
In cases where the property was not re-
advertised in 1888 for the 1887 tax. were
invalid. The reason of their invalidity was
the fact that the naked tax alone was men
toned, the penalty, interest, ETC., having
been omitted.
Under this ruling" continues the assess
or, 1.-The District has not acquired valid
liens upon property bought in for taxes in
question. and it will be impractcable to
collect interest on said taxes after date OF
sale for which the property was enormously
advertised. I therefore recommend that an
order be promulgated directing the assessor
and collector of taxes to issue bills for, and
receive payment of, taxes for years prior to
1887 and for those taxes for the year 1887
which were not included In the 1883 adver-
tisement without interest subsequent to
date of sales for which such property was
advertised for the taxes for the respective
years."
