floral tribute and a handsomely engrossed
testimonial bearing the signatures Of all
the clerks in the division.
The Testimonial.
This testimonial was addressed to Mr..
Martin and is as follows:
"On this fortieth anniversary of your
public service we, your fellow clerks, ten
der hearty congratulations. AS we look
back over these forty years we note that
of the two hundred and more Who then
comprised the division only four remain,
showing the ravages and changes of time.
The memory of these pears IS a pleasant
retrospect. But we turn from the past to
the present to contemplate our agreeable
relations.
I'VE are one great family with you as
a patriarch of old at its head, to guide and
direct us, and we desire to express our ap-
probation of your uniform kindness and
patience with us in all our official inter-
course. We beg you to accept this floral
tribute as slight token of our esteem and
affection. While virtue needs no reward,
still the reward comes from an inward con-
seriousness. of a life well spent and duty
faithfully performed.
May your life and the fragrance of its
memory be sweet as these flowers, but
may it's influence be more enduring and
abiding. May 1t stimulate the coming gen.
Grafton to greater fidelity to duty.
I'VE pray that many years of usefulness
may yet be spared to you, and that the gov
eminent whom you have so faithfully
served may long enjoy your rich experience
and ripe Judgment

Mr.. McComb's Statement.


intendent of Sewers McComb includes an
analysis of this latter phase of the aues-
ton, giving reasons why land along the
shores Of the river would not be injured
and a statement that the District would not
be saved from future claims for damages
by paying these "other damages to
Messrs Grimes and Seufferle. Mr. Nc
Combs statement follows:
Il nave the honor to report that the
damages which will result to said lands
by reason of the depositng upon said land,
by the action, force and flow of the tides
and waters of the Potomac river, of the
sewage that will pass through the proposed
outfall sewer and which will be emptiad
therefrom into the channel of said river
are speculative Considering the arrange
ments made at the sewerage pumping sta
ton for screening the sewage before it
reaches the pump. it's discharge into deep
water and the ample volume of river water
to effectively dilute the sewage, 1t is be-
lieved that there will be no sewage de-
post upon the lands referred to.
1T appears easonable to include such
a charge in the action for right of way,
because the anticipated damage is not in
cidental to the use of the right of way the
point at which the sewage will be dis
charged into the river viz, the deep water
channel, being remote from the right of
way, and also because these proceedings
will not bar subsequent claim for damages

assessed, not upon the strip of land used
as right of way, but upon the whole tract
of which the right of way is part. Again,
the damages from sewage deposit upon
the shores would be no greater to these
tracts than to adjacent properties, which
are not concerned in these proceedings for
right Of way
Moves to Refer.
Acting Engineer Commissioner Morrow,
in stating the dissatisfaction Of the Com
mssioners with the award, said:
Il move that this paper be returned to
the corporation counsel with the statement
that the Commissioners of the District Of
of the commission appointed by the court
to appraise the land and right-of-way to
be condemned for this sewer, for the rea-
son stated in the preceding Endorsement of
the superintendent Of sewers, and with in
structions to take the necessary steps pro-
vided by law to have jury trial in the
matter.
Il further move that the corporation
counsel be informed that the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia vigorously as
sert that there will be no damage done to
property by reason of the discharge of sew
age from the outfall sewer, the condemna-
ton OF right Of way for which Is the sub
ject of this proceeding and that they de-
sire the corporation counsel to insist that
this proceeding is not a proceeding to de-
termlne what damages may arise from this
source, but merely a proceeding to condemn
right of way for the sewer; that If any
damages should accrue to the property in
this vicinity by reason of such discharge
that is matter to be determined after such
sewage Is discharged, and to determine a
proceeding of this nature is merely specu-
lating.'
