The estimate Is for the same as for the fiscal year ending June aoth. l?-?. exc"ptfor contirgent exoenses, which Is reduced two hundred dollars. oi l) municipal records. District Secretary Ttedall sub nit ted his annual ri port to the Commissioners to-day, wua copies of orders passed by the board during the fiscal year ended June 30. lsso. He states that on the first of October last rue old recxd division was temporarily p'acrd u uH his su pervlslon, and so continued. I-Yeqient demands for Infcrmaticn. which could only be obtalr.ed fiom theo'd miscellaneous rejordsof ii>e municipal corporations in the District, preced ing tbe commission form of government, d *cided tte Commissioners to cause these iwords t be arranged and indexed In such manner that ray refdi-ni e could De had so any d.t'a therein d<.shed. In pursuance of tais purpose work *as commenced bv a clerk as-tgiiei ft) lint di.tyln.tnne !->,> and continual u?.q >r n v.-rv small ai.d constantly varying force until ihe lirst of last June. Tne employment oi a force adequate to an early coinpi'tioa vas prtc'.uded by the necessity of employing ail available means, r.ot required for current matters, upen the urgent duty ot revising the special assessments and oUipi duties conuected therewith, to which it has been found necessary to direct temporarily, even the special provision for the division. The accomodations for a labor of such diversity aud magnitude nave te?n insuir.iierit for an advantag ing arrangement of the records and of the duties of tboso engaged in them. Notwithstanding these dlv advantages, the results thus far obtained are creditable to the clerks employed upon the work; but, for tte reasons stated, considerably cut of proportion to th^ end proposed la the establishment of the division. He estimates that it will take six competent clerk-, under the supervision of a. chief, who s^iaii give his entire attention to this dutv, more than a year to collect, arrange and index these record In a satisfactory manner. The force now specifically provided for this division comprises two eood clerks, with salaries ot #i,soo ard $900 respectively, bo;h of v. h- m are now temporal ny detailed to duty la other branches of tlie District government. If it be the intent len of tbe Commissioners to om P'.ete the work, he suggests that the three regular clerks now engaged upon the revision or .-pfcial assessments might be transferred to this division, with a necessary part of ihe room they occupy when their services sha'l no longr te required upon special assessments. HEU.TH OFFICE ESTIMATES, ETC. Health officer Townshend sent to the Commissioners this rrortiing a note, stating that owing to delay cau-ed in waiting for oT al figures of population from theCensils bureau, and in coDseijuer.ee of the mass of tabular exhibits on the subject of vital statistics to ba compiled and compared, he finds himself unable to present statement lu detail showing operations of his oliiee for past year at this tin e. The estimates of appropriation required to conduct the sanitary service, secure a fall and correct record of vital statistics, &c.. is appended as follows: salary of health officer, ?: .W0; six sanitary inspectors, at $1,200 $7,200; two food Inspectors. $1,200, $2 4-O; for clerks, *7,000; pound master. 91,900; messenger, $800, ana contingent expenses. Including books, stationery. fuel, rent, disinfectants, ax.. $.i,soo? making a total ot $25,200. He Invites the attention to two items not Included in the above, the superintendence o? which now comes under his department?the acliectlou of garbage and tne provision of medicines and medical attention for the skk poor. He thinks a larger appropriation should be asked to enable him to have work in the former ease proper !v performed. and in the latter he recommends that a i-peclflc appropriation of SS.ooo be asked, tUat this most, important service maybe placed on a proper foot iDg. Payments for this work are now made from general fiuad for relief of noor, and should that fund become exhausted, this very first of charities must cease, and the indigent sick of our District go without medicines and medical aid. A WATER MAIS TAX CASK. on September l Water li-gldrar Cox had occasion to address a note to the District Commissioners relating to the water main tax. The tacts were lald before the Commisiioa-rs, ?it h the request that they be laid before the attorney for the District for his opinion. H?aj s "there was a water main laid prior to Is en II street northwest, betweeu 9.'h aad loth streets, in front ot a lot fronting r.i fed: on H street, containing an area of 6.0)) feet. Thts was assessed for water main tax la June, isCP, atjd the owner duly notified. Th*3 prooerty origlnaily belonged to the Van Ne3-> estate, ai.d upon It was bulit a vault or mausole i.u 11 which were deposited the bodies of several members of the Van Ness family. In is;:; ran, vV. Van Ness, trustee, de.ded this lot to Mr. Jesse H. Wil=on. which was duly recar I'd September 22. 1S73. and the mausoleum wa5 removed to Oak mil cemetery, and the remains cf the persons contained In the mausoleum were removed. The lot was purchased aud is used for private gain and uas now. t ae bene:lr of water main, the taxes for which, even if exempt under any law relative to cemeteries, would seem new to be properly chargeable ?of this tax. it is the opinion of this department that from the moment the lot in question ceased to be uted tor burial purposes, the exemption from taxation ceased; and from the moment it became private property used for purposes of gain, the lot became taxabl >. This office claims that there ts no law which exempts this kind of property from water main isxes." Mr. Wilson claimed that he ourchasel this lot clear of incumberances and that he was not liable to the tax. This matter wa> n ferred tc the attorney, \iho in reply states: This tax was assessed in June. 1><J6, at which time 1.0 exemption law had been passed by 11 gttm. The ordinances of tbe ctty of Washington could not exempt property from the oblation of the act of congress in regard to the water main tax. Moreover, by reference ro rue oi>lnion of Sir. lliddle of December 14. isrs. a cofy of which was transmitted to you August 15, ;s-o, in reply to a communication or B. J. Dai m ale, esq., it will be seen that no private property Is exempt from this tax." TfiB METKOPOLITAN POLICE.
