alleged intimidation Of a material
witness.
Cit developed that his connection
with the matter was limited to
carrying information to George Cow
an, local attorney, concerning the
statements made by this witness,
former client OF Cowan's in a di-
vorce suit, in regard to her visits to
the Stephenson home in Irvington.
Cowan was ole of Stephenson's at

The activity of Bachfield in this
matter has given a peculiar side
light to his appointment.
At Michigan City
Bachfeld. despite the statements
accredited to him by the prosecutors,
now asserts that he did not know
Stephenson personally.
The Governor says that he knew
nothing of the part played by Bach
field in the Stephenson case. He
says that Bachfield was recommend
ed to him for the place on the par
don board. He named him, so he
says, because of this fact. and for
no other purpose.
When called before the attorneys
representing the prosecution, Bach
field, it is said, admitted having
called Cowan's attention to the wom-
ans statement, and then told Of hav-
ing left the suitcase at the Marion

is alleged to have been made in the

not Replacement" but a completion
of the original surface
They proceed on the theory that the
concrete is merely the base, and that
the street Is not finished until the
asphalt topping is applied. The policy
being followed is to lay the concrete
and allow that to serve for IL or Is
years before applying the asphalt
surface. This practice is In the in
terest of economy, Engineer Depart
ment heads say, because traffic gets
the use of the concrete as surface
for that period without destroying its
usefulness as the base on which to
lay an asphalt surface
In looking to the benefits of the pro-
posed modification of the Borland law,
however, this policy becomes impor-
tant, because it means, officials state,
that wherever property owners have
paid the assessment for a concrete
street since the Borland law was
passed they would pay another assess.
ment for the asphalt surface as the
amendment is now construed.
While figures were not available
yesterday as to the amount of con-
crete paving laid in recent years,
officials estimated that a considerable
amount of the paving done since the
concrete type that would still bear a
second assessment for the laying of
an asphalt surface under the proposed
amendment.
OF course, If the pending modifica-
ton bill is not enacted. assessments
will be made for all resurfacing, re-

regardless of whether. il is a replace
ment or the completion of concrete

More Years Must Elapse.
What the amendment would do, as
interpreted by District officials, would
be to eliminate future assessments
for replacing streets after they are
once completely paved by assessment.
A replacement, they explain, would
be where the old asphalt surface was
taken up and repaved If the esti-
mates of the Engineer Department
are correct, however, a number OF
years must elapse before there would
be much resurfacing work done in
accordance with the terms of the
pending amendment.
The proposed modification, there
fore, would have only a limited appli-
cation and that only after a consider
able period of years.
When the measure was being
considered by the congressional COM
mittees at the last session the Citizens
Advisory Council took the position
that it was far from meeting the de-
sires of the people OF the District,

REVEALS IMPOTENCE
OF BORLAND LAW AMENDMENT
Change, Even if 1t Be Adopted, Would Bring No
Relief TO Property Owners for Years, Study
of Features Shows.

Another factor came to light yes
terday that will tend TO postpone
until the dim future the day when
local property owners will be re-
lieved of assessment for the resurfac.
ing of streets under the amendment
to the Borland law as proposed at
the last session of Congress.
Although the amendment failed to
become law after it had passed the
House, an analysis of its effects is
pertinent, since it retains it's status
on the Senate calendar and will come
up again at the next session.
It was shown few days ago that
even if the amendment were enacted
now it would not begin to take effect
until about 1884. This. highway de-
partment officials say. is because the
amendment is 50 worded as to abol-
ish the paving assessment only where
the property owners already have
been assessed for one complete street.
The Borland assessment law did not
begin until 1914, so no street paved
under that law is more than II years
old today. Since streets rarely are
renewed in less than 20 years and
usually only after 25 or 80 years. the
resurfacing work for the next 8
or 10 years will be on streets laid
prior to 1914, and which would be
still subject to one assessment even
under the proposed amendment.
Still Longer Delay Seen.
This information made the benefits
of the amendment seem remote
enough, but a further study of the
language of the bill yesterday, in
with engineer depart
ment officials, brought out the aidi-
tional fact that the apparently unim.
portant word Replacement" in the
in reality has an i'm.
portant meaning and will delay still
longer the effectiveness of the meas
ure. The text of the amendment fol-
lows:

ment, officials say, will be to allow
the District to levy an assessment for
the laying of an asphalt surface on an
existing concrete street, even though
an assessment was paid for the con-
crete street under the BorIand law.
They would be able to levy the Sec
ond assessment in all such cases even
under the proposed amendment, be-

man. Mr.. Suter pointed out that the
council recommended as a substitute
that the Borland law be repealed.
Practice Held Unfair.
In reporting the modification bill
to the Senate last month just before
adjournment the Senate District COM
mittee made this comment on 1t:
Under the provisions of the ex-
listing law all new pavements must
be paid for by the adjoining prop
erty owners to the extent of so per
cent of the cost, and this applies
also to resurfacing. 1t is perfectly
obvious that this works great hard
ship and injustice upon the abutting
property owners, for, while their own
use of q street may be very moderate.
they must bear the expense of resur-
facing made necessary by traffic from
all parts of the city, and even traffic
originating outside the District of Co
lumbia. Modern motor. vehicles have
greatly increased the use of the
streets, and to place upon small prop
erty owners the burden created by
unlimited use of the highways by
vehicles of all descriptions, including
heavy trucks, is unfair The streets
are worn out by the public generally,
and the general public should bear
the burden of replacement"
The Interpretation that replacement
would not apply to the covering of a
concrete street with asphalt, after the
concrete has served as a surface for
a number of years, however, would
tend to defer the operation of the
amendment.
