CITY FIXES POLICY
| FOR REFUND SUITS.
Statute of Limitations to Be
Filed in Actions Against
LeVieS.

The statute of limitations will be
fled in all cases where the facts war
rant in connection with suits insti-
tuted against the District for the re-
covery of special assessments levied
under the Borland act, as a result of
a policy adopted yesterday afternoon
by the District Commissioners.
The policy was decided upon in view
Of the recent action of two property
owners on Rhode Island avenue north
east in filing suit for the refund of
special assessments which were levied
for repaving. The suits were based
on decision of the Court of Appeals,
which held that lots of an irregular
area or depth could not be assessed
on front-foot basis.
Although Corporation Counsel Fran
els II. Stephens recommended that the
statute of limitations be not pleaded
in these and similar cases, the Com
missioners decided that unless such
action is taken hundreds of cases prob
ably would be filed. The attitude of
the Commissioners is that remedial
relief in such cases should come from
Congress.
