A STATEMENT


Editor Herald.
There is much talk about town as to
how the city board Of equalization did
its duty last year, a few interested ones
going so far as to say that it exceeded
the duty it was sworn to perform. This
has been the kind of talk all old timers
can well remember. 1t was so i'm 1907.
whensthe board for hat year found it
to be its duty to raise the valuation on
the property of a certain alien corpora
ton. BY the way. can any one tell of
any the smallest Improvement this com
pany has ever made in this city? No.
it can not be told, for the simple reason
it has never made any. And this. too.
in spie of the fact that it has a large
monthly revenue on lots and land it
owns in the city limits.
In 1907, and after a most reasonable
raise in the valuation on this same prop
erty, the agent got a lawyer to appear
before the city council, and as that law
yer was all powerful with that body.
this finding of the board was set aside.
and left as the agent was generous
enough to fix it. 1t does not need a law
yer to tell that this action on the part
of the council was illegal-it was more.
for it was a direct violation of the law.
and every member Of the council laid
himself liable to prosecution for voting
in favor of overriding the plain statutes
of the state.
AS a member of the equalization board
for 1912. l looked at it to be but perform
ing a duty / had sworn to do when I
saw to it that this property was made to
pay its just proportion of taxes. Those
who have only their homes or business
ventures pay for what their homes or
business is worth. This being so. / fail
to see why an alien corporation, having
some three hundred voters. who pay no
taxes, should not also pay the city what
it justly owes.
T b. RUSSELL,
Chairman City Board of Equalization
for the Year 1912.

FOR NAVIGATION SAFEGUARD.
District Asked to Build Bulkhead in
River at GeorOef0uyn

Acting on a report from Col. Langfitt,
the engineers officer In charge of the i'm
proyement Of the Potomac river, the Sec
rotary of War has asked the District
Commissioners to have a bulkhead built
at the foot OF Wisconsin avenue and
at the foot of 3ist street for the better
protection of the interests Of navigation
In that vicinity. 1t appears from the
records that Mr. Waters. a merchant
Of Georgetown. complained recently to
the War Department that the overflow
of water on the streets named carried
considerable dirt and debris into the
river and had made the water so shall
low that it was difficult for vessels to
approach his wharf. The complaint was
investigated by Col. Langfitt and he re-
ported to the War Department that the
interests of navigation required that the
shoaling of the river at the points named
be prevented by the erection of bulk
heads or in some other way. The matter
Was referred to the District Commits
sioners on the general ground that they
are responsible for the maintenance of
the streets in question in proper con-
dition.
