FIGHT ASSESSMENT
T0PAY FOR ROADS

The right Of the District Commits
sionerS to assess the cost of macadam
roads against property owners in the
unsubdivided section of the District
of Columbia under the Borland
amendment is attacked in a suit filed
in the District Supreme Court by
Anna NJ. Knox and others.
The property owners say the Bor-
land amendment is applicable only
within the city limits or to subdivid-
ed county property, and they ask the
court to quash an assessment laid
against them for paving Naylor road
between Good Hope road and the Dis
trict line, where the Knox farm is
located.
If Congress intended to make the
Borland act apply to the. District gen
orally, it is unconstitutional and void,
Attorney West contends.
Bill of Complaint.
In the bill of complaint it is al
legged that in 1916 the Commissioners
condemned land necessary for the
widening of the road to ninety feet
and the plaintiffs were assessed bene-
fits supposed to result therefronl. In
the early part of the following year
the road was graded to portion OF
it's width. A macadam pavement was
laid htreon, and an additional assess
ment for the paving levied there
after upon the farm owned by the
plaintiffs abutting on the Naylor road
1t is alleged the Commissioners as
sumed to act under the supposed au-
thority of amendments to the appro-
priation acts of 1914 and 1916. known
as the "Borland amendments" provid-
ing that one-half of the cost of the
paving of a street should be assessed
against the abutting owners. 1t is
contended in the bill of complaint
that the Boriah amendments do not
authorize the Ievying of assessments
for the laying Of macadam upon coun-
try roads, and also that they only
apply to those portions OF the Dis
trict of Columbia which have been
divided into squares.

the flower of it's youth to the battle
fields, many of whom gave up thelr
lives in the performance OF duty; IN
a word. Washington is on the nrlng
line-and vet Washington has no say
in the government.
1.-THE resolution further stated tnat
to deny the citizens of washington
the right of suffrage was an extreme
in Justice and declared that 1t be the
sense of the convention that the vote
should be given the District IN ma
tional matters and for representation
in the House and Senate. 1t urged
all exchanges throughout the coun-
try to use their influence with their
REPRESENTATIVES anu senator's to sup
mort any legislation that would en-
franchise the citizens of the Diserict
of Columbia"
Honors for d. C. Men.
Besides Mr.. Mealy. Arthur La Smith

Change. and S. J. Prescott were pres
ent at the convention. Mr.. Mealy was

CLASSIFIERS TO IGNORE
SIZE OF ONES FAMILY

No salary premium will be placed
on large family, it was learned
definitely today at the headquarters
of the joint congressional commission
on reclassif1cation of salaries in the
District
Because a government clerk has
flve children will not get him big
ger salary than another who holds a
similar job but has only three chill
dren.
What the general trend Of salaries
will be has not been determined by
the commission, but it is certain that
the question of children will not
enter into the problem, except in so
far as it may help decide upon an
ultimate minimum.
In Canada, where a scheme of re-
classification of its civil employees
recently went into effect, a larger
salary is paid to the clerk who has
five children than one who has two
