PROPERTY OWNER OBJECTS.
Thacher Complains About Law Gov.
erning Opening of Streets.

Charging unfairncss in the assess
ments Of benefits and damages 10 abut-
ting property owners in the opening Of
certain streets, W. c. Thacher. OF 2S01
Eighteenth street northwest. has writ
ten a letter to the President. which was
In turn forwarded without comment to
the District Commissioners.
Mr.. Thacher says that along with the
investigation Of the building depart
ment and the charges of favOritism in
the engineer department. there is a pc
culiar state OF affairs existing In the
application Of the law so far as the
opening of streets is concerned. in con-
nection with the opening Of Genesee
place, a street near the Geological Park.
The letter SAYS in part:
My understanding Of the law is that
IL clearly states the expenses of opening
a street or streets shall be assessed
against the abutting property. In this
case the party most benefited IS assess
ed very lightly. while the party that is
positively damaged and whose property
is located some distance from the pro-
posed street will have. according to the
grand scale established in the engineer
department, a fill OF twenty-four feet in
front Of his apartment house"
The letter intimates that the party
most benefited is some official of the
District government, who is really the
only msa who desires the opening of
the street.

CHANGE IN BOUNDARY.
Line Between L. :. and Canada TO
BE Thirty Feet Wide.

BY proclamation Of the President. a
series Of long but extremely narrow res
ervations OF public land have been made
along the boundary line between the
United States ard Canada. The reserya-
ton is only thirty feet wide and the
length is limited only by the amount Of
unappropriated public land along the
boundary line.
The reason for the establishment of this
novel reserve. as stated in the preamble
Of the Presidents proclamation. is that
the customs and immigration laws Of the
United States can be better enforced. and
the public welfare thereby better adj
vanced when the Federal government has
complete control OF the use and CCcupa-
ton Of lands abutting on international
