EXEMPT FROM ASSESSMENT.
Certain County Eand sHeld by Counsel
to Be PRIVILEGED.

According to an opinica submitted to the
Commissioners by Corporation Counsel
Duvall parcels of land not embraced in
any subdivision approved by the Commits
sioners and not incorporated in the per-
manent system Off highways of the Dis
trict, but merely net aside by metes and
bounds, shall not de assessed for sewers
where there is nossewer connection with
the property.
The opinion wasssubmitted in connection
with the proposed assessment under the
act of April %, 1904, of part of lot Z. Blag-
denis subdivision Of Argyle, owned by c.
c. Armes, for water main, and in connec-
ton with the assessment for service sewer
on the east side of Brightwood avenue, OF
parcels of land in the names of John Cam
mack. Charles e. Ebel and George Field.
In consideration Of the first case. the
corporation counsel says:
Fhe legislation on the subject OF as
sessment for water mains exhibits marked
changes OF public property, so far as SUI
burban property is concerned The ap-
pncation OF any uniform rule alike to
city and suburban property. based on either
frontage or area, has resulted In manifest
injustice and in the retardment of subur-
ban improvement.
Congress by the provisions of the act
OF April %. 1904, indicated purpose to
assimilate suburban lots laid out for build
Ing purposes to city lots and to approx
and sewers, the assessment of the larger
suburban tracts being postponed until their
subdivision into blocks or lots presump-
lively for building purposes.
Il am of the opinion that the phrase
property in the county Of Washington not
subdivided into blocks or lots. or both
should be construed to embrace, first, all
subdivisions of land that have been ap-
proved by. the Commissioners of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and, second. all sub
divisions of land that have been incorpo-
rated In the permanent system of highways
of the District of Columbia
He then held that lot Z in question is
property in the county of Washington not
subdivided into blocks lots, or both
within the meaning of the act of Congress.
In regard to the holdings on the east
side of Brghtwood avenue in question,
he said the parcels were conveyed to the
respective parties by metes and bounds,
and, therefore come within the meaning
Of the act and are not to be assessed.

MIND RESTORED.
Sudden Recovery Of Patient at Hospital
for Insane

George c. Koontz of Springfield, Ohio,
who was committed to ST. Elizabeth's Hos
ptal several days ago because of mental
trouble. has recovered his mind and will
probably leave for his home in several days.
Koontz some years ago suffered a sun
stroke, and recently his memory lapsed him,
and while in that condition he left his
home and friends and came to this city.
He arrived at the Homeward Bound Mis-
sion on Pennsylvania avenue Sunday and
remained there for two days. Tuesday
evening he disturbed the religious service
by throwing stones at one of the speakers,
and Capt. James H. Haslam, superintendent
of the mission, had him sent to the sixth
precinct police station. He was examined
by the board of police surgeons, who de-
cided that his mind was impaired, and later
he sent to st. Elizabeths.
Thursday koontZ recovered his senses and
inquired where he was. He was very much
surprised on being told that he was, in a
hospital for the insane, and expressed
desire that his relatives be communicated
with. His request was granted, and ar
rangement will betmade5t to send him home
next week.

pronounce superior as a healthful table
water that is grateful to the stomach and
helpful in maintaining the vigor of the ex-
