OFFICIALS OF DISTRICT
ANSWER JACKSON SUIT
Assessor Not Required to Note
Tax Sales on Certificates,
They Say.

The District Commissioners and Will
liam P. Richards, assessor of the District
Of Columbia, have filed answer to the
suit for injunction recently brought by
Daniel X. Jackson. The plaintiff seeks to
enjoin the giving of a tax deed, on the
theory that he is not responsible for the
tax, because of the failure of the asses
sor's Office to note on a tax certificate the
sale of the property in question. on which
the deed is due, the time for redemption
having expired.
Stand of Officials.
The District officials advise the court
that the law does not require the as
SCISSOR to note tax sales on the tax GER
tificates furnished by his Office, but only
taxes and assessments due the District on
the property. They admit such nota-
tions are frequently made, but are often
omitted. When the property is sold the
tax account with the District as to that
particular parcel is closed, the books
showing the stamp paid by sale" After
that time and during the redemption
period of two years the amount of tax and
the amount brought at the sale are
transferred to the tax sale record" and
are used by the assessor as basis in
making REDEMPTION bills

STRICKLAND TO QUIT
LAND TITLE WORK
Tennessean May Have Charge
of Rock Greek Parkway
Acquisition.

Reeves T. Strickland, for ten years
assistant to the Attorney General. and
in change Of land title cases for the
government. has resigned, and will
leave Washington Friday to go to New
York, where he will enter private
practice In association with a large
law firm.
Mr.. Strickland is voluntarily leaving
the government service, through no
vic1ssitudes Of politics, and was asked
by the Attorney General to remain
throughout his term of office. He has
been receiving a salary of $4,000
year, the highest paid assistant at
torneys general, but will receive
larger salary from the New York firm
with which he is connecting himself
during the first year, and will assume
partnership at the end of that
period
During his long service Mr.. Strickland
has been connected with some of the most
important land title cases in the history
of the government most of the time in
charge of them. His departure from the
service Is of particular interest to Wash
ingtonians. for the reason that he was
recently placed in charge of acquiring
for the parkway connection to be made
between Rock Creek. Potomac and Zoo
logical parks.
Tennessean to Succeed.
Mr.. Strickland is to be succeeded, he
said, today according to his information.
by q lawyer from Tennessee a resident
Of Nashville, whose name has not been
told him. but who is expected to appear
at the Department of Justice in day or
two for a conference with Mr.. Strickland
on the Rock Creek parkway and other
land titles.
Mr.. Strickland had charge of the con-
demnation of the land acquired by the
government for the improvement of the
territory around Union station. He also
conducted the North pier case at Buffalo,
taking forcible possession of that prop
erty with United States soldiers, a form
of procedure pursued by the government
for the first time since the civil war.
Mr.. Strickland said today that between
now and Friday he expects to have set
tied the question that no more dumping
shall be done along the line of the pro-
posed Rock Creek parkway improve
ments. He had q conference yesterday
afternoon and another today with the
owners of the dump beside the P street
bridge, where dumping has been resumed.
In addition. dumping is said to have
recently been going on on the property
of the Washington Railway and Electric
Company. beside the street barn. at a
spect on Rock Creek ravine north of Q
street. Railroad officials today said
twelve or fifteen loads Of dirt, broken
brick and other refuse had been thrown
in there each day lately. Mr.. Strick-
land is now - communication with the
owners Of this additional dump and has
received letters which indicate that they
may stop it, in view of the fact that Con-
gress has ordered the land bought for the
parkway connection.

Stand of Officials.
Had No Right, They Say.

The officials declare that plaintiff had
no right to rely wholly to rely at all
on the tax certificate as an absolute bar
to the recovery of any taxes following
the tax sale not enumerated thereon as
unpaid. 1t was incumbent on Mr.. Jack
son, they claim. who had free access to
the records. to avail himself of the OPP
portunity to obtain the desired informa-
ton respecting the sales for taxes of
property which he was seeking to acquire.
To his failure. or to that of his agents,
they assert. to use these opportunities,
and not to the fault of the District or it's
agents. is attributable the loss COM

But apples are not the only big profit
sharing crops produced on his farm.
From less than one acre set in chestnHts
several years ago, he has gathered and
shipped up 10 last week hfty-one bushels
of chestnuts, which sold for five dollars
per bushel, or a gross revenue of two
hundred and ffty-fiye dollars. Is there
mercantile business with a similar
amount invested as is represented by the
lands and equipment of Mr. Cordray's $
farm. that can equal the profits for one
year. This answer must consider the
other crops. such as grain, tomatoes,
potatoes. melons, etc, which have added
greatly to the net proceeds Of the farm,
and only the mOdesty of Mf COrdray
prevents a complete statement of the re-
suits as obtained from this one well
farm, being printed as an object
esson as to the possibilities of what
Delaware farmers accomplish, when plain
business sense and industrious effort is |
made to get the results.

OTHER States are following in the
wake Of Delaware. and are enacting
stringent laws to prohibit the shipment
Of liquor into districts where the people
have voted against it being sold legally.
Tennessee has just passed three laws
which make it illegal to ship intoxicating
liquor into or out Of the State, or from
one county to another when the people
Of that State or county have voted against
the sale of liquor. It is more than
probable that Maryland will enact law
similar TO the Hazel law Of Delaware, at
the next session ofthe Legislature, which
viii be held next winter. This will be
necessary to prevent the trouble arising
now in the Eastern Shore counties by
reason Of the shipments Of liquor to
persons who are doing an illegal business
in its traffic.
