LOCAL FISH MARKET.
Dealers Apprehensive That Season
May Be a Failure.

The dealers in fresh fish at the wholesale
fish market on the wharf are somewhat
anxious about the fishing season, fearing
a failure, the fish have not yet made
their appearance in the river In any num-
bers. This time last year herring We're be-
ing received by the dealers from the nets
In the lower river in such quantities that it
was a difficult matter to sell them for a
dollar a hundred. The few herring on sale
this morning. from all sources-North Caro-
lima, Chesapeake bay and the lower Po-
tomac-sold for So per hundred, and many
more than were on the market could have
been sold at that price.
While 1t ts rather too early to say that
the season will be a failure, the non-ar-
rival of the schools of herring, to say roth
ing Of the shad, in Chesapeake bay has q
bad look and is unfavorable.
THE continued cold weather may. have
something to do with holding the fish back
an old fisherman said. 'I have seen such
conditions before, when change from the
raw and cold weather, like that we have
been having, to balmy, springlike days has
brought the fish In large numbers almost
over night. This may be what will happen
this spring"
The fishing shore operators, who have
made considerable outlay In preparation for
tho season, are hoping that the old fisher
mans prediction may come true.

OBJECT TO VALUATION.
Commissioners Believe Owners Hold
Ground at Too High a Figure.

Vigorous exception has been taken by the
Commissioners to the statement Of the pres
ent value Of the square bounded by 18th
and r streets and New Hampshire avenue
recently made by the owner, r. 4. Hooe
In his letter to the Commissioners under
date OF March Mr.. Hooe entered "the
strongest kind of a protest against propo-
sition which he understood the Commits
sioners had approved in recommending to
Congress that the square be purchased on
condemnation for the absurd price of $780,
OO0."
Commissioner West in passing the paper
today made the following Endorsement,
which Commissioner Biddle approved with
the recommendation that the writer be IN
formed and that the paper be referred to
the District assessor for his information
concerning the estimate of the value of the
land placed upon 1t by the owner:
II note by the inclosed paper that the
writer states that the Commissioners have
recommended to Congress the purchase of
the square Of ground bounded by New
Hampshire avenue. 18th and r streets.
owned by him, for the absurd price Of $780,
00o. He states that he became the pur-
chaser of the property in 1894 through public
auction, paying 70 per square foot, and that
he has since refused $4,000 In cash for the
property, and Is holding 1t at IS per square
foot, adding that II compelled to take that
price he would still suffer loss on his in
yestment.
1.-THE fact lis that the Commissioners ad-
versely reported upon the purchase of this
property. one reason being given that the
estimate Is too high.
II also desire to call the attention of the
Commissioners to the fact that on the 10th
of September. 1902, the property owned by
Mr. Hooe was assessed at $3.50 a foot and
that on that date an appeal from that as
scessment requested that 1t be reduced to
$3.50 per square foot, on the ground that
$3.50 is equal to two-thirds of ITS value
This valuation of the property was SUBJ
