RELIEVES OWNERS
| OF PAVING CHARGES
Justice Stafford Rules Tax
Levy Law Does Not Apply
to Outside Districts.

The Borland amendment under
which the property owner is reqired
to pay one-half the cost OF improve
ment of streets applies only to city
streets. according to the holding of
Justice Stafford of the District Su-
preme Court in granting an injunc-
tion to Mrs. Anna N. Knox and others
against the District Commissioners
them from collecting an
assessment for the paving of Eaylor
road from Good Hope road to the
District line. The District authorities
laid macadam paving on the road
against the Knox holdings.
Appeals for Property Owners.
Attorney Vernon E. West for the
property owneff raised the point that
the intention of Congress as shown by
the language of the act was only to
authorize assessments for paving Of
portions Of Washington divided into
and was not applicable to
highways in the rural sections.
If the act applied to the whole District
of Columbia, it was contended. 1t was
because 1t provided a
method of assessment which would
work In such an arbitrary and unjust
manner as to amount to the taking Of
private property without due process
of law.
Opposed to Injunction.
Corporation Counsel Stephens cp-
posed the injunction on the ground
that it would be practically impos-
sible at times to distinguish between
rural and city property, and that
the act in order 70 have a
uniform Operation must be construed
as applying to all highways through
out the District. He also contended
that Congress has the power to fix
this method of assessment.
The District Commissioners noted an
appeal to the Court of Appeals.

URGES ROCK CREEK
PARK GOLF COURSE
Col. Sheriff. Would Also Open
Inaccessible Beauty Spots
by New Roads.

Establishment cf public golf
course in Rock Creek Park and the
building of roadways into sections of
the park now inaccessible are being
considered by Col. Clarence o. Sher-
rill. superintendent OF public buildings
and grounds.
The money with which to carry out
both projects would have to be OBJ
tanned from Congress in the next ap-
preparation act. and Col Sheriff. in
dicated today that II his proposals
meet with public approval he will give
serious consideration to them In
framing his next estimates.
100000 Golf Courxe.
There Is an area of about twenty
five acres west of 18th street and
north of Camp Good Will that the
colonel believes is ideal for a golf
course. He estimated roughly that
between $4,000 and 100000 would be
required to put the tract in shape.
Ihe topography of the land Is favor
able to the laying of of a golf links,
tfe colonel said, but it would be nec-
essary to clear away the brush. cuI-
tivate the lawn and erect a necessary
structure.
Col. Sheriff. is equilly interested in
opening up several large areas of the
park that are now practically useless
to the public. because of their iso-
lated location.
Urges Road Extensions.
Il am hopeful Of obtaining the nee
essary funds next year to extend the
park highway system into those areas
so that they will be Of some use to the
community" the colonel continued.
Under present conditions they are of
little value with no driveways leading
into them. With an extension Of the
highways they would be available for
picnic parties and would add to the
usefulness of the park"
These projects are only two Of many
Col. Sheriff. has fostered in the short
time he has been in Office to improve
the park system not only to enhance
the beauty spots of the National Capi-
tai. but at the same time to increase
the usefulness of the federal reserva-
tions for the people Of Washington
and the hundreds of tourists who
