A' 14 MACFARLAND FLAG AWARDED TRUCK C Special Committee Named by the Commissioner Alakes Report. INSPECTION WAS IN DETAIL Thorough Examination of Condition of Apparatus and Fire Houses, Appear ance of Men, and Conduct Records Newspaper Men as Judges. The special committee appointed by Commissioner H. B. F. Macfarland to conduct the annual inspection of the Fire Department submitted its report yesterday. This committee was appoint ed on the recommendation of the Chief Engineer of the Fire Department, and consisted of Messrs. E. B. wllkins. Rob ert T. Small, and J. Clinton Ransom, iha representatives ofthe Washington daily papers at the District Building. The committee states that it endeav ored to be and believes it is wholly just and impartial in Its decision. It was anthorlzed to examine each company In the department and from its inspection to name the company -which in its Judg ment should receive the Macfarland trophy flag for the coming year. The Joint report of the members of the com mittee upon their decision follows: "As we have stated to you under sep arate cover, we believe truck C com pany, located at Fourteenth Street and Ohio Avenue, and under command of Foreman W. A. Dixon, entitled to the distinction of being awarded the Mac farland flag for general excellence. The appearance of this company's quarters, the condition of the horses and appara- tus, the neatness and alertness of the men, together with a remarkably quick hitch-up and a clear record as to mis conduct cases combined to make this in our judgment the premier organization of the department this year. Demerit Marks Fatal. "This decision was not reached, how ever, with any great degree of ease, for the performance and general condition of chemical engine company Xo. 2, at Brightwood, commanded hy Foreman John Sherman, so impressed your com mittee it wap hard to dlsplant that com pany in our favor. Engine companiest Nos. 2 and G, commanded hy Foreman J. Carrlngton and W. F. Lanahan, respect ively, made the better showings of the engine' and reel organizations, but both of these companies had to be thrown out of our calculatIons.because of the three or four misconduct cases reported through headquarters in each. If it had not been for the one demerit resting against the Brightwood company the race between It and truck C would have Indeed been difllcult to decide. Later In our report we detail something of the performance and condition of each com pany. "In the inspection of the companies we decided upon a perfect standard of sixty points. These points were divid ed as follows: House and dormitories, leil PU1UI&, Uyyt--aitfUV.C Vi UiCil, 1VU points; horses and stalls, ten points; appearance of apparatus and harness, ten points: hitch-up, ten points, and conduct, ten points. We believed that each case of misconduct reported by Chief Engineer Dutton to you In the various companies since the last inspec tion should justly constitute a point off for that company. In taking this view we believed the discipline of the men was as important a matter to consider as any of the other elements of the competition. Examined House Conditions. "In the course of the inspection at each house we first visited the sleep ing rooms, and then inspected the horses, and looked to the condition of the stalls. The cellars, pits, coal-bin3, alleyways, and back yards came in for a due share of attention. Before the bells were tapped for the hitch-up and drill in each Instance the men were sent to their dormitories by the foremen. We timed the performance from the first stroke of the gong until the last man had mounted the apparatus in his prop er place. "As the men were called to atten tion following this we inspected their clothing, and formed a good estimate of their general Ideas of neatness. An absence of buttons on vests or coats and considerable dust were the great est faults found with many of the men of the department, but when these were not in unpardonable excess they were overlooked. The cellars of the houses throughout the department are in eje cepMonally good condition, well kept, anffln most cases neatly whitewashed. The grounds surrounding the bouses, and especially the suburban houses, with one eiception, were clean and attractive in appearance. "We began the tour of Inspection Wed nesday morntag, September 17, in a loco mobile, kindly loaned by Mr. A. L. Cllne, manager of the Washington branch of the Locomobile Company, who for a greater part of the first day accom panied the committee on its rounds. Twelve houses were Inspected the first day, and at all of these your committee was entirely unexpected, and thus found the men Just ag they are from day to day. The following houses were visited that day: Engine company No. 11, truck F company, chemical engine company No. 2, at Brightwood; engine company No. 7, engine company No. 9, engine company N'o. 1. truck B company, engine company No. B, truck E company, truck D company, engine company No. 12, and chemical company No. 4, at Brookland. Visited the New Companies. "The second day your committee first Inspected engine company No. C, then en gine company No. 10, engine company No. S nnd training stables, engine com pany No. 15, at Anacostia; truck A com pany, engine company No. 3: and engine company No. 4. After vis'ing the Ana costia company, your committee contin ued on to Congress Heights and inspect ed the magnificent new truck and eugine house in course of construction there. We found the work progressing finely, the -walls being up to the secoud floor. Tne appearance of the house promises to be" all that was claimed for It. The brick, concerning which there was some discussion a short while ago, gives a re markably pretty and soft effect, and seems to have been well chosen. The character of the work, generally speak ing, is excellent, and the engine house will ha a model of modern times. "On Friday, the 19(h instant. th third day of the inspection, we visited and Inspected engine comnanv No. 14. Then followed chemical engine No. 1. engine company No. 2, and truck com pany C. On Saturdav mornlne the committee visited and Inspected chemi cal engine company No. 3 at Tenley- town. Keturnlng from this house to the city, the hand chemical engine lo cated in a small building In Cleveland Park was also inspected, and found to be in good order. Stables Were Good. "In every company the horses and apparatus were found to be in excellent condition. Many new horses were re ported in the stalls. In the repair shop engine No. -4 was being overhauled. The training stables, adjoining engine company No. S, were found In good condition. The tan-bark exercising floor is not believed to be as useful as a cement floor might be. Horses bro ken for fire work on this soft floor have to be invariably coached again once they are in the regular houses, and have to run over the cranolithlc floors there. In every company but two the ab sence of the full complement of men was most noticeable. The foremen ex plained that some of their men were at luncheon, some were enjoying their reg ular 'day off," and others were ill. Many of the houses we found In need of minor repairs. Two were being re paired, renovated, and painted during the inspection." The committee adds details of the In spection at each fire bouse in the Dis trict, and concludes the report as fol lows: New Buildings Needed. "Your committee begs leave to sug gest that the time has come when it is necessary to rebuild several of the old er bouses of the department, some of which have been in use now for more than thirty years, and which are en tirely Inadequate and unsuited to the needs of a modern fire company. Con gress should be asked for nDDroDria- tlons for the rebuilding of such bouses as engine companies Nos. 1, 4, 6, nnd 7 are now quartered in. In some of these there Is absolutely not room for the apparatus. In the case of No. 6, for Instance, the authorities must within a short time cut off much of the stall room in order to make way for one of the blgt modern fire engines recentlv ordered. The location of No. 4 engine company should be changed. At pres ent the house faces a narrow street way directly on the railroad tracks. "In conclusion the committee desires to state that it found the department as a whole in a high state of efficiency. The hitch-ups, as stated, were made with men starting from the dormito ries, the condition being much the same as those met with on a midnight alarm. Considering this fact, the time was very fast, indeed, and it Is such fast time as thecompanles made that adds so great ly to the effectiveness of a Are fighting iorce. IMPORTANT BulIMr IN TAX ARREARAGE CASE Tax Deed Extinguisher De cision Stili Effective. Law of 1902, Mr. Duvall Holds, Does Not Change Conditions A Case in Which Liens Were Wiped Out. The Corporation Counsel, Mr. A. B. Duvall, has returned to the District Commissioners ihe communication of J. Harrison Johnson & Son relative to the tax sale of certain property owned by them. It appears that on February 9, 1S91, a tax deed was Issued to J. Harri son Johnson for a certain lot. At the date of the tax sale on which the deed was issued there were unpaid tatos as sessed against the lo,t for 1880 10 1885, inclusive, and the property had been bid in by the District therefor. Mr., Duvall says the Supreme Court of the District, in Brewer against the District of Columbia, held that under the then law a tax deed operated to ex tinguish the antecedent taxes, and that the District could not hold the property liable therefor. Deed Wipes Out Liens. Under the provisions of the act of Congress approved July 1 1902, entitled "An act In relation to taxes and tax sales In the District of Columbia," au thorizing the sale at private sale of property bid in by the District, Mr. J. Harrison Johnson wants to know If his lot is subject to sale under this act of Congress. "In view of the above mentioned de cision," says Mr. Duvall, "I am of the opinion that no sale of said lot can be made ton account of any taxes which were unpaid prior to the date of the tax rale upon which the tax deed was Is-. sued."

I MINOR MUNICIPAL MATTERS OF INTEREST The time for completing of contract with Mr. James W. Hendley for heating apparatus in various school buildings has been extended until October 1, owing to unavoidable delay In the delivery of the material needed to make the repairs. The Engineer Commissioner has re quested that the Washington Stenmboat Company be required to submit ah offer for the lease of the wharf frontage and property now occupied by them, between M and N Streets southwest. The Commissioners will inform the attorney of Mr. J. W. Pilling that no application for a permit to establish a coal and wood yard in the vicinity of 712 L Street northeast has been filed with the Commissioners, and that if such. application is made, his objections thereto will be given due consideration. Master Plumbers' licenses have been issued by the Commissioners to W. H. Amiss, Albert E. Anderson, and Alfred Gawthrop, to be good upon the filing of a satisfactory bond. The Commissioners have annroved an- pllcatlons for the following permits for projections beyond the building line, and have forwarded the same to the Secre tary of War: N. L. Fltzhugh. George Frost, Emma M. Gordon, H. P.. Howe-s-tlne and P. G. Clark & Co. Bert M. Ruhn has been appointed watchman in the Fire Department vice 1. J. MalonBy. who declined said ap- I ointment. The appointment of Mr Huhn is to take effect September 17. The Commissioners have directed tha: the amount of curbstone, approximately 3.000 feet, to meet the deficiency under the contract with the Dunn's Mountain Granite Quarry be purchased In thp open market, and that whatever- money may be due under said contract be held back until such time as the purchase is com pletea, when the actual excess cost shalT be deducted. H. C. Lewis 1 as been appointed driver in the Water Department nt J4S0 per annum, the appointment to take effect September 16. Thomas E. Drake, the 'Superintendent of Insurance, has requested the Commis sioners to procure from the Corpo ration Counsel an opinion whether an insurance company licensed to do busi ness in the District can re-insure any proportion of its risks located In the District in a company that Is not li censed to do business in the District, The board of equalization and re view, which is now receiving protests against the recent triennial assessment of real estate In the District, is very busy listening to such objections against the lists, especially In the suburban sections. Mr. H. H. Darnellle, chairman of the board, said yesterday: "There appears to be a serious mis apprehension in the minds of the tax payers regarding the pending assess ment of real estate. Under the law of August 14, 1894, the assistant assessors were not obligated to any specific as sessment valuation, and used their wise discretion in making the assessments as low as possible In order to reach the .required necessities of Congression al appropriations. "During the past winter a demand was made for an increase of about two mil lion dollars over the last year's reve nues, one-half of which, it was esti mated, could be realized from the real estate. That meant an actual increase of about sixty-eight million dollars over and above the last assessed valuations. Errors May Creep In. All protests and appeals were over ruled and the law of July 1, 1002, makes it mandatory that all land and improve ments thereon shall be assessed at not less than two-thirds of the true value thereof. "We have tried to reach an equitable adjustment on the basis of the manda tory minimum of what this law re quires. The extension of time given for the revision was entirely too short to accomplish satisfactory results and many Inequalities will undoubtedly ap pear, also possible errors of Judgment in the estimate of what is the present 'true value' of the property. "These errors and Inequalities we are willing to correct, and as a board of equalization and review I assure the public that we are extremely anxious to receive any reliable information that will enable us to reduce any assess ment that is found to be In excess of the two-thirds basis. "A great many appeals have been re ceived which have evidently been pre pared without regard to the mandatory requirements of the law, and are simply 'pro forma" in the hope of securing a reduction of the assessment without giving any reasons therefor or any es timate as to the 'true value' of the property."

The District Commissioners, through the recommendation of the Engineer Department, have notified Mr. Andrew O. Nash, of 1144 North Capitol Street, that their policy with reference to that street Is to have a sidewalk fifteen feet In width, in conformity with the exist ing Improvements. The matter of the width of the side walk was brought to the attention of the Doarn m a communication from Mr. Nash last Friday. He objected to' the continuation of the 'wide sidewalk on the unlmnrnvpd nnrtlmio nt VnrVi roni. tol Street because of the great expense Incurred In grading, etc., beyond the limits of the present improvements. .Mr. Nash thought so wide a sidewalk was unnecessary at the present time. Colonel Diddle in .presenting Reports upon Mhe subject from his department recommends that Mr. Nash be Informed that ,thc policy of the Commisioners to require, a sidewalk of fifteen feet In width on streets 130 feet wide cannot well be changed, as it has been in vogue for several years, and is uniform throughout the city. Permit Temporary Walks. Inasmuch, however, as a great part of this street is now, and will be for many years, used for residence pur poses. Colonel Biddle suggests that it is not the present policy of the authorities to require a sidewalk of the width named to be put down at once, but that n substantial constructions will be allow ed beyond the fifteen-foot line. Colonel Biddle suggests that terraces, stops, and permanent constructions shall be within those limits, but structures that can be readily removed, such as fences, may be placed within the tjyelve foot line from the curb. In this way, he says, the sidewalk can bo widened when it becomes npePRsnrv. without 1 great expense to the owners of trie. abut ting property. This view of the situation has been accepted by the Board of Commissioners and will go on record for the guidance of the Engineer Department. Dramatic Club Dance.
