ASSESSOR MAKES REPORT
PASSES UPON OBJECTIONS TO
WATER MAIN ASSESSMENT.
Say* Failure to Rea**e*? for Prerioiw
Improvement In No Bur lo
Prenrnt Tax.
A report has just been made to the Com
missioners by \he assessor on the ques
tion of assessing a water main tax on lot
14, block 13, center of Eckington subdivis
ion, being a lot at the corner of 4th and
V streets northeast, owned by Francis M.
Cox. The papers in the case show that
this property was assessed for water main
construction in 1894, but the assessment
was canceled the next year under the de
cision of the Burgdorff case. It was not
reassessed in 1898, under an act for that
purpose, but has recently been assessed for
the laying of a main in V street. To th'S
latter assessment Mr. Cox has made ob
jection in a letter to the Commissioners,
and the report of the assessor today is on
this objection.
Mr. Cox says: . . .
"The act of July 8, 1898, authorized the
District Commissioners to reassess the tax
thus canceled, and provided, in sfft,on
'that outside the city of Washington the
said reassessment shall be levied or as
sfssed only on those lots or parcels of land
into which Potomac water has been or
shall hereafter be produced, provlde-J
further that where Potomac water has
heretofore been introduced, the said re
assessment shall be made within ninety
days after the passage of this act. and
where Potomac water shall hereafter be
introduced the said reassessment shall be
made within thirty days after such intro
duction.'
rinnMe Not Repealed.
"This clause of section 2 has not been le
pealed by subsequent legislation, and Is
now the law. It is declaratory of a princi
ple which runs through all the legislation
of Congress with respect to water main
taxes, and the obvious reason of the case,
viz, that lote should only bo-taxed for the
laying of the main from which it derives
its supply of water. The records appar
ently do not show that the Commissioners
have ever exercised this right thus con
ferred upon them in regard to the Center
Eckington lots, find which, I think, was
intended to be, and was, the only remedy
in the premises.
"It does not appear to me that the Com
missioners, after having waived the exer
cise of their remedy until the period of
statutory limitation had expired, having
thereby exonerated all the lots of block
15 facing on 4th street from the water tax,
should make a punitory example of my let.
because it happens to be a corner lot, and
tax it for a water main very recently laid
In V street, from which it cannot by any
possibility ever derive any benefit. It ap
pears to me that to thus discriminate
against corner lots would be a violation of
plain equity as well as the letter of those
clauses of the water main legislation which
provides that these taxes shall be uniform."
The A??e*i?or'?? View.
This letter was referred to the assessor,
and he has now reported to the Commis
sioners as follows:
"The fact that lot 14 was not reassessed
under the act of July 8, 1898, for the as
sessment that was declared void, is no
bar to the present assessment levied under
existing laws. The writer is enjoying the
privilege of a full water service on a lot on
which the water main tax has not been
paid, and I see no reason for changing my
views upon the subject."

Refuned to Obey Life Guard*.
According to a dispatch from Atlantic
City dated Tuesday, an attorney named
A. H. High, hailing from Washington, was
arraigned in the police court at Atlantic
City charged by the life guards with re
fusing to obey their orders to return to the
beach from a point In the surf where he
had been bathing. High's defense was that
the guards were not authorized to exercise
police powers below low-water mark. The
guards explained that High was in danger
at a point where they would be unable to
reach him in time in case of accident. He
was a considerable distance from the shore
where the surf was heavy.
The court suspended sentence after warn
ing High that if he gave the guards fur
ther trouble he would be fined.

STANDPIPES AS AIDS.
Assistant Chief Belt's Opinion of Their
Efficacy in Fires.
The recent test of the standpipes on the
building occupied by W. B. Moses & Sons
has been made the subject of a detailed re
port to the Commissioners by Wrilllam T.
Belt, assistant chief engineer of the fire
department. The conclusions reached in
the report are that standpipes are not as
efficacious in fighting fires as the old means
of having the hose drawn to the top or
buildings with a rope.
The test was made with reserve engine
No. 7 on the morning of August 16, and
with the following detail of fireman:
Foreman C. B. Procter, engine company
No. 3, in charge; Engineer Thomasi M.
Robinson, engine company No. l^ handling
the engine, and Privates C. S. Thompson,

P*"ln my opinion." says Chief Belt, "the
fire department can do much better service
bv its members ascending the fire escapes
with life lines and hoisting the hose to the
points needed, thereby saving valuable
time. The most impracticable points In
standpipes, in my opinion, are the necessl
tv nf laving out two lines of hose and con
necting them to the 'Y' at the bottom;
also the necessity of carrying a section of
hose to the points needed and ^ connect on
?n the standpipe, as well as the necessity
of putting on a pipe there. The space
the platforms is inadequate to admit of a
section of hose being laid out on them so
as to distribute water properly,
Chiefs Wagner and Boss and Foreman
Henry, Nicholson and Procter, who wit
nessed the trial, are of the same opinion.
I believe standpipes, where ejected f
flooding purposes, to be advisable, an
would recommend their erection and use
to all buildings like the one occupied by
Messrs W. B. Moses & Sons. I am also
an advocate of fire escapes, as they not
only provide means of escape from bur""
ine buildings, but also afford firemen read>
and convenient means of quickly reaching
the different floors and the roofs of build
ings."

Plea That Proposed System Will Af
fect Tttle??Oie 'Man Ap
proval Plan.
Letters commenting on* the renaming of
the streets of the suburb* continue to ar
rive at the District building There are
today, as usual, more objectors than there
are indorsers of the proposed system. The
following are samples: *
John W. Broshers of Winthrop Heights
objects to any change in the name of Cin
cinnati street In Winthrop Heights, or the
Montello subdivision.
"As my deed calls," he says, "for a cer
tain number of feet commencing on a given
point on that street and running so many
feet .on 20th street, and so on to the start
ing point; and as we have donated all our
rights to said street to the District of Co
lumbia as Cincinnati street and, 20th street;
I think we are entitled to the retention
of the names, as changing them will con
fuse and injure the title to our lands."
John M. Rankin, an attorney, of the At
lantic building, writes in a similar manner
of Kalorama avenue.
"The protest of Mr. J. B. Wlmer against
changing Kalorama avenue to Yates street
has my cordial concurrence," says Mr.
Rankin. "I own property and reside on
Kalorama avenue, and am very strongly
opposed to .:he proposed changc in its
name.
"While the proposed change of nomen
clature is theoretically meritorious, It
seems to me that the advantages pre
sumed to result therefrom are decidedly
more fictitious than real."
Columbia Road Renldenta.
The Commissioners today received a pe
tition numerously signed by the residents
on both sides of Columbia road protesting
against the changing of the name of the
said road to Franklin street. They say that
it seems particularly appropriate, owing
to the irregular directions taken by the
road from its beginning at Connecticut
avenue and Boundary to Its present termi
nus at 7th street, that It should be styled
as at present?a road. Owing to its great
irregularity at many points the petitioners
say that it clearly could not be brought
Into the general scheme as outlined. There
fore, in the minds of the petitioners there
does not appear to be sufficient reason to
change the name of Columbia road as pro
posed.
Approves the Plan.
Thomas W. Gilmer of 545 Florida avenue
northwest approves the plan, and writes
as follows:
"Your proposed system of street nomen
clature for the county is highly approved
by me. I hope you will obtain authority to
use the same system within the present
city limits. The system is practically the
same as that which I have advocated for
years. I am an owner of property on some
? I * streets to be changed, but I am cer
tain the changes will not injure property
in any way.
"The opposition seems to be based entire
ly on sentimental grounds. Some of your
correspondents evidently fall to understand
the system. I am Interest in property on
Yale street between.;13th and 14fch. Your
list changes Yale street to Channing. I
should prefer the name Capron, in honor
or Captain Capron, who was killed in the
Spanish war, but Channing is good enough.

Joins With > Others.
E. C. Andrus of 40 Q street northeast
joins with others in protesting against
the wholesale renaming of streets. "I fail
to perceive," he says, "how a multlpllca- j
tlon of names can simplify the present
street system. What purpose, for instance,
can be served ln changing qr, R, S and I
other streets because they extend beyond
w avenue, or what claim is advanced
that Bloomingdale and West Eckington are
not essential parts of the city proper?"
August Peterson, who resides on Chapin
street, protests against the proposition to
change C hapin street to Zane street. "Who
is Zane? he asks. "Encyclopedias do not
give It, and the only place where it has
been accidentally found is in the Washing
ton directory. The possessor of the name
resides in Anacostia, and is a clerk in the
Treasury Department. If, by adopting the
name Zane, you contemplate doing honor
to this estimable lady, you should not for
get that there are others in the government
service to whom a like honor is due.
"Z being the last letter in the alphabet
and as you seem unable to find a suitable
or acceptable name commencing with the
letter Z, permit me to suggest that It be
dropped, and that the renaming of the
streets begin alphabetically after crossing
Florida avenue. In that event our street
name would begin with B, for which we
have a galaxy of names of one syllable to
one of which we would be most haDDy to
submit."
Objects to Calling? Them Places.
Bernard P. Mlmack of 1410 G street
northwest is an objector to the proposed
change of names in Walbridge subdivision
of Ingleside. He states that the property
was laid out by the late Mr. Walbridge in
the most liberal manner, with streets of a
full width of ninety feet, and in strict com
pliance with the requirements of the Dis
trict. Now, he says, it is proposed to de
grade those streets by calling them places
"I submit that to the mind of a resident of
this city a place means an opening or
thoroughfare between two numbered or
"lettered streets extending only one block
he says. "It Is therefore a positive injus
tice and Injury to name a street ninety
feet wide, with hanJsome parking and gen
erous space by any designation that shall
or may convey a false and degrading im
pression.
"Each of the streets in Ingleside has an
outlet upon the Park drive, just completed
and the land for which was largely eiveri
by the late Mr. Walbridge. To take anv
action that would in any way do Injury to
the property is a poor return to a public
spirited citizen and land owner."
William Duncan, writing from Bar Har
bor, Me., states that he has read ln the
Washington papers about the proposed
change in the names of suburban streets
He approves the p'an as being generally
good. He states that he is a resident on
Central avenue and he can find no objec
tion In changing it to Frederick street The
only thing in the system which he thinks
should be criticised is the application of
the name place in so many instances

FAILS TO SUPPORT CHILD.
First Conviction Under Lair Pawed
March S, XOOl.
John H. Thomas, colored, was today con
victed In the Police Court of falling to
contribute toward the support of his In
fant child, and was sentenced by Judge
O'Donnell to sixty days in Jail. Execution
of sentence was suspended on condition
that he will in future give his wife, from
whom he is separated, $1 per week tor
the purpose named.
The case was the first brought under the
act of Congress approved March 3, 1901.
which, among other things, declares that
"any person within the District of Colum
bia, of sufficient financial ability, who shall
refuse or neglect to provide for any child
under the age of fourteen years, of which
he or she shall be the parent or guardian,
such food, clothing and shelter as will
prevent the suffering and secure the safety
of such child, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof
shall be subject to punishment by a fine
of not more than $100, or by imprisonment
in the workhouse of the District of Colum
bia for not more than three months, or
both such fine and imprisonment."
If NEED OF ELIGIBLES.
District Wants More Policemen and
List Is Exhausted.
"Washington is In need of policemen, and
the list of eligibles for appointment to the
force has been exhausted. Commissioner
Ross, in speaking of the matter today,
said that applications of men possessing
the physical and mental qualifications for
policemen were earnestly desired.
All applicants must be not less than 5
feet 8 Inches in height, of a weight propor
tionate to their height. They must have
resided in Washington continuously for a
period of two years previous to their ap
pointment. They must be qualified to pass
a fair civil service examination, based
principally upon a knowledge of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the police manual and
elementary education. They must also be
of good character, without Police Court
records and must be able to pass a rigid
physical examination to prove them free
from disease and blemishes and able to
stand the exposure of police duty.

Some people call It tetter, milk crust or salt
rheum.
The suffering from it Is sometimes Intense;
local applications are resorted to?they mitigate,

It proceeds from humors Inherited or acquired
and persists until these have been removed.
