Cannot Erect Adertising Sign.

The application Of John NJ. Gill, agent for
Minneapolis -four mill company. for per-
mission to erect an immense advertising
sign on the Cornwell building, 1412 Penn
sylvania avenue, has been refused by the
Commissioners, Notwithstanding the letter
applying for the permit was forwarded to
the Commissioners through Senator Knute
Nelson.
Colonel Biddle recommends that Mr.. Gill
be informed thai applications for signs
greater than five feet in height have been
refused number of times by the Commits
sioners; that the building is about eighty
feet in height and of non-fireproof construc-
ton: that the act of Congress limiting the
height Of buildings would not permit at the
present time the construction of this class
Of buildings to a height of over seventy,five
feet. Therefore, to add to the danger Of
fire by permitting the erection of sign
board of this size and Of inf1ammable ma
terial does not appear to the Commission
ers to be good policy nor in accordance
with the desires of Congress as expressed
in the law limiting the height of non-fire-
proof buildings to seventy-fve feet.

To Prevent Issuance of Tax Deed.

DIR. ]. B. Gregg Custis late yesterday
filed suit in equity against the Commits
soners of the District of Columbia to re-
strain them from issuing to Irene B. Wal
ter a tax deed to lot 8, square 1914, this
city. Justice Anderson signed an order
restraining the issuance of the deed until
the final hearing in the case, unless the
Commissioners show cause to the contrary
by March 3.
1t is stated that the value of the property
is 50 600, and that 1t was sold at the tax
sale April IL, 1902, for $50. this being the
amount of the tax, interest and costs due
for the third installment of a water main
tax levied against the property.
The complainant contends that the sale
was irregular, defective, Illegal and void. -
because it purported to be made under the
act of Congress of February 2S $685. and
subsequent amendments. neither of which
contemplated the sale of property which
had been 'reassessed' for the laying of
water mains.
Further, DR.. Gusts, who is represented
by Attorney B. F. Leighton, declares that
the tax sales as conducted are illegal. be-
cause the auctioneer discourages bidding
in excess of the amount of the tax and
costs due upon the property

ADVERSE REPORT.
Commissioners Send Rock Creek Bill
to the Senate.

An adverse report was forwarded to Con-
gress by the Commissioners late yesterday
afternoon relative to Senate bill 7160. which
embodies the plars Of Richard ]. Beall. 81.
with reference to arching Rock creek from
L street to Connecticut avenue. The Com
missioners say that either the conduit plan,
as set forth In Senate bill 1883. and which
the Commissioners have approved. or the
open treatment Of the valley, as advocated
by the park commission. is preferable TO
the scheme devised by Mr.. Beall
The plan proposed in the Senate bill pro-
vides for the arching of Rock creek from
l. street to Connecticut avenue extended;
that a dam to hold a large body of water
for bathing purposes be constructed at
Connecticut avenue; that Richard ]. Beali,
ST., the author of the plan, be permitted
to construct a brick kiln at Twenty-hfth
and Q streets for making bricks to be
used in the construction of the arch, ana
that the Commissioners be authorized to
rent or lease to Beall for term OF ninety
nine years the right to the use OF the wa
tiers of Rock creek between Connecticut
avenue and l. street at an annual rental
of $1,000 per year The bill also appro-
PIRATES the sum of $775,COO to defray the
expenses of the work.
1.-The Commissioners made report, reads
the letter to the Senate, April IL OF last
year on Senate bill 1888. For the construc-
ton of a conduit for the waters of ROCK
creek, ana Tor Otner purposes. Hey SO
that they believed Rock creek should pc
closed in by a tunnel between a point a
short distance above Q street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue, leaving the valley above 10
be developed into a park. and below Penn
sylvania avenue to be used for commercial
purposes.
1.-THE plans Of the Senate park commits
sion provide for the keeping open of all or
Rock creek to Pennsylvania avenue as
park drive, with an alternative proposition
of a boulevard over the creek for part of
the distance Either plan is believed by
the Commissioners to be preferable to that
described In the bill, and they do not rec
ommend favorable consideration upon the
BILL"
