DISTRICT AUTHORITIES
COMMEND SEWER BILL
Cost of Improvements Will Now Be
More Equitably Distributed
1t Is Thought.

Tie bill recently passed by both
branches Of Congress. ana now requir-
ing only the signature of the President
to make it a law. requiring assessments
for sewer construction in the District
to be levied at the rate OF 81 per front
foot on the adjoining property, has re-
ceived the highest communication by
the District authorities
Under the law now In effect, sewers
are laid by assessing the property own
ers benefited half the cost of such work
This assessment, however. was only
made wiien the sewers in question were
twelve inches or less in diameter. When
they exceeded this figure they were
paid for out OF general appropriations
for the District made by Congress. This,
of necessity, brought a heavy expense
on the District treasury
When there is a fat assessment of 81
per front foot for such sewer work, IL
is thought the cost of these improve
ments will be more equi:ably settled
than ever before The drain on the
District finances viii not be so great,
and the citizens viii profit by the ar
rangement.

Can Go Through.
THE DISTRICT READY TO SELL

George S. Wilson. secretary of the
Board of Charities. has announced that
a recent conference between himself
and Representatives OF the Navy De-
partment showed that the naval au-
thorities favor the project of paying the
District slS4, 4O4 for the land ana build
inss that belong TO the Industrial Home
School and lie within the limits of the
25-acre circle around the/Naval Observ-
atory.
The limits of this circle were laid out
several years ago by the United States
authorities. and since then the Navy
Department has been busy buying all
the land embraced In the plot, the de-
sign being to establish an area Of alb
solute quiet around the Observatory.
Appropriation Needed.
The only rhing needed to consummate
the purchase of the 6764 acres and the
eleven buildings belonging to the Dis
trict within the circle is for Congress
to appropriate the necessary amount Of
money. Early last winter Rear Ad-
miral c. NJ. Chester, representing the
Navy Department, and Secretary VIII
sen, acting for the District govern
ment. decided that 1884, 0i was q suit
able price for the land and houses.
No serious attempt was made this
year TO have Congress appropriate the
money, as the naval authorities say they
experience no Inconvenience from the
Industrial Home School. and think they
stand a better chance for the appro-
pIiation next session. Their desire is TO
obtain possession OF the land within the
next year or two.
