 H. T. Wayne, head of the real es- tate department of the Scovill com- pany, prepared the warning that is now in the hands of members of the improvement association and the latter have been notified to get in touch with MT. wayne in the future in planning dock piers and retaining walls on the lake shore.
 Last summer, for the first time in about 20 years, Lake Hitchcock hit a now low and some property own- CTS, 1t has been found, took advan- tag0 of the shallow water to build walls and set piers out into the lake. The line of fiowage, which is vested in the title of the Mad River Water company, of which the Scovill com- pany is 8 member, is fixed at the highest point where the water of the lake hits. Secretary Brandely, in notifying the members of the association of the complaint, suggested that in the future all persons planning shore- line work first confer with MT. Wayne before carrying out their plans. The letter reads as follows:

staining walls or docks along the water front. This company has definite right of fiowage with respect to the land surrounding Lake Hitchcock and no property owner would have any right to erect any retaining wall or dock which would effect such flowage rights.
 In other words, we feelthat the property owner has an absolute right to erect 8 retaining wall or dock along the fowage line es-' abolished for the rights of this company to flow the property, but that no stone retaining wall or dock or other structure should be erected by any property own- CT below the flowage line rights vested in this company without us first having an opportunity of passing upon the question of whether the company wishes to have it's fiowage rights disturbed.
 We would propose to you therefore that if any of the members of your association who own property on the shores of the lake wish to improve their property by erecting retaining walls or docks that the member proceed on the theory that if the wall or dock is limited to the howage line representing the rights of flowage owned by this company that there will be no objection from this company as the owner is undoubtedly within his rights, but if 1t is planned to erect @ stone dock or retaining wall below such dowage line, then the property owner before starting the work should submit the proposition to this company so that we may express some opinion as to whether or not the installation of the wall would hamper our rights. It would be our policy to treat such obliga- tions in a broad generous way and to express our approval or willingness to have the wall or dock built if such consent could be given consistent with the maintenance of the company's rights in the premises.

WISE RECALLS
HARD WORK

Arthur Wise came to work at the
Washington Navy Yard when the
United States started to go in for
shipbuilding in big way.
Now that he's retired, he remi-
nisces every now and then about
how the work at the yard" was
so heavy when he came there just
after the Spanish-American War.
He then thought they never
would be able to get it all done"
He learned his trade at the Navy
Yard at Norfolk, Va, where he
started to work in 1893. 1t was in
1908 that he journeyed to Wash
ington and began his career in the
local gun factory. Most of the
time he worked in the east gun car
riage shop on the shift from mid
night to a. m.
Exhibiting missing second
finger on his right hand, Mr..
Wise explains that "you very sell
dom see machiniSt with all his
fingers intact"
He was retired in 1925 because
Of disability, and says that he is
now taking life easy" at his home
at 730 Seventh st. N. E. Asked
just what he spends his time do
ing now, he scratched his head
and answered with a grin:

up down the cellar and several

come over and we have some
fine games of cribbage.

OIL FIRM WINS
TAX REFUND

The American Oil Company
passed another milestone in
United States District Court yes
terday in its efforts to recover
95,748.91 from the District gov
eminent which was enormously
paid in taxes on gasoline.
Several months ago the oil COM
pany instituted suit alleging that
District accountants had found
that the amount had been illegally
collected and informed the court
that the District Commissioners
had approved payment Of the
claim for refund.
Under existing laws, however,
the District cannot pay such
claims out Of it's current appro-
priation and it is necessary for
all claims to be reduced to judg-
ment in order that Congress may
make the necessary appropriation.
Assistant Corporation Council
Chester H. Gray today filed con-
fession Of judgment in the case
and as soon as the judgment is
entered on the court docket, bill
will be prepared for introduction
in Congress asking for an appro-
priation for its payment.
