SUPREME COURT REFUSES
PLEA OF COMMISSIONERS
Denied Review of Case of DR.. Oscar
Wilkinson Involving Special
Assessment.

The Commissioners of the District
were today refused a review by the
Supreme Court of the decision of the
Court Of Appeals setting aside special
assessment against DR.. oscar Wilkinson
for benefits to his property alleged to
have resulted from the improvement OF
Crittenden street.
DR.. wilkinson, as the owner OF prop
erty on Sixteenth street which had been
assessed for benefits in condemnation
proceedings resulting from the extern
sion of Crittenden between Sixteenth
end Seventeenth streets, contested the
assessment on the theory that he had
not received a notice of the condemna-
ton proceedings and without such
notice the assessment was Illegal. The
Court of Appeals upheld this conten-
ton.
Since this decision, however, Con-
gress has provided by act for the send
ing of notices to property owners SINH
larly affected. These notices are not only
published in the newspapers but are
sent to the property owner by regis
tered mail, as directed by the act OF
Congress. The Commissioners took the
wilkinson case to the Supreme Court
during the october term of 1927 on a
writ of certiorari.
