CENTER SITE MOVE
BARES FUND SNARL
$8,489.60 Spent in Improv-
ing Property Out of Public
Money Yet UncoIIected.

Negotiations for the purchase Of the
old Charles Hotel building, at 4s5 Penn
Sylvania avenue, in the area selected
as a site for the municipal center, re-
suited in q disclosure at the District
Building today that Improvements cost
ing So, 489 go were made on the property
in 1924 out of public funds, which never
has been collected.
The improvements consisted Of the
reconstruction Of bullying wall, which
the District Engineer Department had
adjudged to be in dangerous and UNI
safe condition. The tenants SubSe-
ouently were ordered out and the build
ing barricaded. After it had been
closed through the Winter Of 1923-1924
a proposal was made to the Commits
sioners that it be replaced at public ex-
pense, and a deficiency appropriation
of S8,400 was granted by Congress Tor
the alterations.
Assessment Uncollected.
With the rebuilt wall, the building
was declared safe and its use was re-
sumed. The Commissioners, however;

of the alterations.
The assessment was levied, but
through failure of the assessors ONCE
to locate the owner to serve the notice
of assessment, it has not been collected
In the meantime, the amount owed the
District by the owners has grown from
So, 389. go to $12,587.40 through the ac-
emulation of interest totaling $4,1s8 40
The taxes on the property have peen
paid, however, although the tax as
SCISSORS Office has been unable to locate
the owners.
Legal Question Is Raised.
In buying the property for municipal
center use the question has been raised
whether in view Of potential legal dim
culties the District will be able to col
lect the assessment since 1t Is not car
ried on the assessors records as del1n-
uuent because of the failure to locate
the owners. The authorization for the
purchase of land for the municipal CEN
ter REQUIRES the deduction OF all sums
due the District. There Is some doubt,
however, whether the failure to noti1y
the owners of the assessment const1-
tutes q legal assessment.
One OF the surprising elements IN
the case is that the assessed value OF
the property is slightly In excess OF the
amount due the District IN special
assessments and interest. The assess
ment records place the value at $l3, 100.

Washingtonians May View Brilliancy
OF Tears of St. Lawrence" TONIGHT

and when the skies were cleared Of the
cloud formations late last night, OBJ
servers at the Naval Observatory got
their first sight Of the shower at 1920
am. From that time until 2:30 o'clock
this morning, the Observers counted 10
meteors as they swept their frey trail
across the heavens.
Although the metoric shower was
brightest early Sunday morning, Wash
ington still may have a peek at the
tears" tonight and perhaps tomorrow
night. However, the skies must be clear
to permit the view, astronomers ex-
planned.
The meteors are composed Of debris
from comets swept along by different
members of the solar system, and the
swarm radiates from the constellation
PerSeus. The brilliant bits Of meteoric
matter spend themselves In the heavens
and rarely reach the earth.

against the Messinas providing them
selves with re-entry permits when they
obtained passports, the husband says.
The italian embassy, however, told
MeSsina to take the permits, since
neither himself nor his wife was an
American citizen, although they had
taken out their first naturalization pa
pers.
So, Messina says, he and his family
sailed for Italy, paying for the passage
with the proceeds of the sale Of their
checks which Miss Howells assured them
would be forthcoming.

He located Miss Howells in one of her
apartments, at 2505 Thirteenth street

for q settlement. Several days later,
Messina says, she disappeared.

rived from it,
At present he IS living at 1401 Har-

cipally IN the form Of letters. pertain

quiries Is one Of the several services
given by the plant pathology depart

There has been a very noticeable

If a reason for the drop off In In

where the usual methods arc too ex-
pcnsive or impracticablc, according to
officials OF the U. S. Department of
Agriculture who have just completed
a seasons test Of this unique cooling
system. The Great Plains dairy sta
ton at Mandan has been trying out
this plan.
The ice-well refrigerator consists
primarily of a pit In the ground in
which 4 large solid cake OF ice Is
formed by running a small quantity
Of water into the hole daily during
freezing weather. The method has
been tried to sornc extent OH dairy
farms in Canada. but SO far as known
no information regarding its adapta-
ton in the United States has hereto
fore been available.
Following closely the plans sug-
geSted by the Saskatchewan depart
ment Of agriculture, the bureau Of
dairy industry. In cooperation with
the North Dakota Agricultural COL
lego, constructed an ice we'll last fall
at the u. s. dairy field station at
Mandan. to test the possibilities OF the
method under conditions there.
Nature Of Construction
On a we'll drained spot near the
milk house and convenient to the well,
q pit was dug. eight feet square and
nine and 0nc-half feet deep. Ths
sides were boarded up with cheap
lumber and the bottom covered to q
depth of one and one-half feet with
coarse gravel to insure good drain
age. A small house was erected over
the pit. The floor was Of two thick
nesses Of planking with building pa
per between the layers. and It was
built in sections to permit easy re-
moyal during freezing. Windows in
the house provided air circulation In
the winter. but were closed during the
summer. A wooden rack or basket
suspended from a pulley overhead
served for raising and lowering the
ans OF cream and other food prod
Gets held In storage.
Freezing wa started In January.
"A small quantity OF water-two to
four gallons-Was run into the pit
each day. Some difficulty was ex-
pcricnccd before the first layer OF Ice
was formed because the water drained
out SO rapidly. BY the end Of Febru-
cry, however. there was a solid cake
OF ice eight feet square and six and
one : half feet deep. When freezing
weather was over, the house was
closed tightly and the floor replaced.
