Statement Regarding Rental.

1T is asserted that while the market
company pays 81 800 only to the poor
fund, it receives $1,000 annual rental from
the United States for housing the militia.
What are the facts?
"The statement that the company pays
only $500 to the government conveys
an erroneous impression. In add1tion
thereto it pays taxes on the market site
assessed at S533, ,61O. on the improve
ments thereon assessed at $4JO,0e0), on
it's personal property and on It's CONDUIT
receipts. 1t also pays taxes assessed OH
its cold storage and ice plant.
'.Snce 1898 the company has furnisned
quarters for the militia In preparing
for them it spent about $4,000 upon I'M
provements of little or no value Tor any
other purpose. 1t furnishes more than

Payments to Poor Fund.

"a. Section ) Of the bill requires the val
uation commission to ascertain if the
market company has paid the full rental
to the poor fund specified by the charter,
to w.t. $4,000 a year, and requires it to
deduct from the valuation to be fixed for
the buildings and improvements the en-
tire deficiency. The company has paid to
this poor fund since its conveyance of the
front land in 1873 $500 a year. The ap-
parent deficiency for the forty years is
therefore .nout $670OOO and if charged
will, with the penalties for deviation from
building plans. perhaps make unnecessary
any appropriation from the public funds
10 wrest from its Owners-bondholders
and stockholders-the valuable Center
market property.
The bill intends this confiscation. 1t
ignores, however, the facts that the JUS
tice of the arrangement for the reduction
of the rental was affirmed by the leg.sla-
tive assembly OF the District at the time
of the agreement in 1si3; that /. was ful-
ly sustained by the report of the commit
tee on the judiciary of the House mad Z
IN 1873 and heretofore referred to- and
that when afterward the validity OF that
arrangement was directly attacked i'm 4
suit brought by the District OF Columbia
TO recover the difference between $500
and $4,000 a year the Supreme Court
OF the District and the Supreme Court of
the United States both affirmed such
validity, the latter tribunal saying that
Congress had authorized the purchase of
this identical front land and that the. ar
rangement effected was eminently proper
Since that judgment-in 1SS3-it was sup
posed this question was definitely settled
this bill proposes that the commission
shall ignore the Supreme Court decision
and charge up the $4,000 anyway.
Whether il Is or is not owing makes no
difference.

Power to Penalize.

4. Section Of the bill gives power to
the commission to penalize tne market
company for every deviation from the
provisions of the charter, however slight,
whether in the plans and specifications
of the buildings or otherwise, and wheth-
er such deviation caused or did not cause
money loss This provision. if carried
in the spirit OF the bill, means conilsca-
tion, for it will not be claimed that the
present buildings accord with the origi-
nal plans and specifications. Such plans
We're drawn for buildings to cover not
only the ground now occupied by Center
market, but the front lands on Pennsyl-
vania and Louisiana avenues from 7th
street to 9th street.
when, in 1873, the District of Column
bia purchased the front lands and took
possession thereof it made the construc-
ton of the planned buildings impossible
and the market company could build only
on the b street and least desirable front.
The United States has since 1S1: been in
possession OF this front land. and upon
a part thereof built public comfort
station more than five years ago. yet
the market company is to suffer penal
ties for not having compelled the United
States to allow it to build upon it ac-
cording To the original plans, and the
amount Of the penalties is to be left to
the discretion of three commissioners
This necessary deviation from the
charter plans was justified by the COM
mittee on the judiciary of the House OF
Representatives in report to the House
in 1875.
