that the lots fronting on Rhode Island ave-
nue. necessarily had to be served by a
sewer laid IN Rhode Island avenue, and the
houses built on street, referred to by
the professionals, had to be served BIZ, q
sewer laid in the alley In the rear The
rear parts of the lots on Rhode Island ave-
nue., II built upon with stables or other per
INVISIBLE constructions, would have to be
served by sewer In the alley, and the
protestants, as owners Of these lots bound
ed In the rear by this alley, would there
fore be benefited as much as any other
property owner. - Sea-. -.
The law under which these sewers were
laid is an act of Congress. approved April
y. 1904. 1t provides that all lots rbutting
on service sewer are required to pay an
assessment at the rate Of 81 per front foot
and where the lots are more than 100 feet
deep and the sewer Is laid abutting both
front and back. they are required to pay
an assessment at the same rate for the
sewer in the rear. -
Commissioner Biddle says inasmuch as
these provisions are in an act OF Congress
the Commissioners have no authority to
waive any OF its provisions 1T is un-
Fortunate" he stated. that the topngra ply
OF the ground was such as to require a
sewer to be built in the alley instead OF
the streets thanking the square, and the
assessment would appear inequitabfe in
those cases. where the property owners do
not desire to utilize the rear part OF their
dots for building. AS the Commissioners
are powerless to cancel the assessment as
requested by the professionals would sug-
gest. that, II the protestants particularly
desire them Cancelled they should appeal
the case to Congress"

Police Court this morning with housebreak-
ing. and both were held for the action OF

fault of $1,000 bond each they were COM
mitted to jail.
Mr. Powell twice reported to the police
that his store had been broken into. The
stats In the window at the rear were cut
out, the window broken and entrance gained
In that way. On both occasions the money
drawer was emptied and quantity OF to-
bscco and cigars was taken. On suspicion
that ne might know something about 1t, the
police arrested Montgomery When Police
man Rout called at his home ontgomery
saw him when he reached the trent door
ana escaped through the rear. He was cap
tured only after a chase of seven blocks.
Montgomery admitted, II is said, that he
entered the store of Mr.. Powell on two oc-
casions He implicated Brown, and the
lattsrs arrest followed
