To overcome this and other deficiencies in the future IT IS RECOMMENDED: 1. That the present law be so amended as to make the tax due and payabie in fwo equal instalments instead of jour; the first payable within thirty days from the date of assessment, without interest, the other due and payable ove year thereafier, aud with ten per cent. per annum from the date of as- sessment. If the first instalment be not pait witbin thirty days from date of assessment, then all shall bear teu per cent. interest from date of assessment.

That the law exempting caurcbes ant property used forcbaritabie purpos s from taxation for the laying of water mains be repealed. 4. That no water be turned or water mains tapped, for the use of a roperty ove year in arrears for assessment made for lay ing of water mains. The interest of ten per cent. named is greater than has heretofore been levied for the non-payment of taxes for Iay- Ing of water mains, bat it should be borne in mind that the assessment is simply to reiraburse the government for money actu- ally expended for work cone aud for mate- rial purchased; and that water mains arc | only laid on petition of property-owners for thelr benefit, and the assessments in the ma- jority of cases are small. WATER RENTS. ‘The act of Congress is ¢itel, approved March 3d, 1°59, authorizing the corporations of Wasbington and Georgetown, by ordi- nance, act, or otherwise, to establish a scaie of annual rates for the supply and use of | said water, apportioned to different classes Of buildings, according to their size, assessed values, <c., meas by metre or other- wise, and to modify, alter, 2mend, increase, or raluce such scale of reats from time to time, collect such rates of rents when so fixed in advance or otherwise, from all owners or occupants of such buildings who may use the water; stop the supply to any dwelling on a failure to pay, and generally to enact | suen laws as may be necessary to Supply the inhabitants with pure water. Provided, that the rates levied by the cities of Washington | and Georgetown shall never be a source of | revenue, other than a means of keeping up a | supply of water to said cities. The ordinance | of the late corporation of Washington, based | ou the aet of Congress above cited, approved April, 1561, fixing the annual rents to he co! - i lecwd by tue Water Cag mpeg is also cited, and the rates stated, in lieu ‘of which | the Begistrar submits annual proposed water rates, and recommends their adoption. They are graduated from a house 16 feet wide or under, and one story high, §3,up toa five story heuse, 21 to 50 feet wide, $13. For the rentals named there should be allowed to each house one.bath tub, one water closet, one sink, two spiggots (hot and cold water in kitchen), one washstand, and one street washer. A!l additional ixtures to be charged extra per year, viz: For bath tubs and water closets, $1 each; wash basins or sinks in pantries, closets or rooms, 50 ngton, was filled last night’ with @ nt assembla: the occasion being the ce of Mr. J. Frank M nna to Miss Linda C. Thomas. The groom was formeriy @ mucu-liked clerk in the city post office, and is now deputy collector of internal reve- nue at Denver. The bride is a beautiful and aceomplished young lady of South Wash- ington, a daughter of the late much respect- ed Lewis Thomas. The ushers, six in num- ber, and friends of the groom, after seating the visitors, preceded the couple to the altar, tbe organ pealing forth a wedding march. ‘The groom was attired tn full dress suit, and the bride in dark brown traveling dress. The impressive marriage service of the Catholic church was performed by Father Bokel, who added some a) ‘iate words of felicitation, remarking at the same time upon the earn- est life-long character of marriage in that ebureh. Following u the marriage ser- vices a ‘tion took place at the pleasant resicence of Mrs. >, corner of G and Jeth streets, at which old friends and new hastened to give their heartily-felt congratu- jations to the young couple. ‘The latter left by the $59 p. m. train for New York, en route fer Colorado. — > DISTRICT CLAIM AGAINST THR GENERAL GOVERNMENT ON IMPROVEMENTS AC- George W.

"FLLANEOUS MATTERS. aperintendent of Fire Alarm ph. reported li y all in good condition. munication was received from the District Commissioners, inclosing an adverse opinion of Edwin L. Stanton, attorney for th istrict, o- the reqvest of tue Soard that overdve and maturing obligations, the re- mainder of these sundry loan bonds m our | possession have heen destroyed, amounting to $07,700. thus reducing the apparent amount of this loan from $1.650,000, as re- ported the. 1st of December last, to ¥60: | which is now the actual amount of the same. In addition to the bonds referred to as de- stroyed, a large amount of coupons, eertifi- cates of indebtedness, &c., have also been de- stroved. The preparation for burning was a work of great magnitude, and which has been ot, completed, and when once fin- ished the labor of this branch will be ma- terinily reduced. To give some idea of the amonnt of labor imyosed by the act requiring the destruction by burning evidences of indebtedness re- tired, the following statement will be ap- pended: The three and five year Emery cer- Liflcates consisted of twelve thousand of the former and four thousand of the latter, mak- ing sixteen thousand in all of fifty dollars each. Of the former eleven thousand nine hundred and ninety-two have been re- deemed, leaving but eight yet outstanding. To each of these were attached five coupous, making eixty thou: coupons,*each for $1.8254-100, allof which had to be classified as to number and date of maturity, entered in the appropriate register, and a perfect de- ecriptive list eS to Sraeny them to the Treasury po ceria pe Altached to each of the four usand certificates were nine coupons of like amount, making thirty- six thousand y ich require to be treated in a similar manner. Tnis tedious process is pursued as to all the bonds, cou- 8 and otber evidences of indebtednes re. leemed or paid by the commission. In the last report the outstanding amount of § per cent “certificates of undebtedness” issued on account of street improvements and fo gio from collections on account of special assessments upon private property benefitted thereby was stated then to be $1,531,600. This has sinee been reduced $391,990, leaving ontstanding at the preseat time $1,142,050. No callhaving been made for the balance of water fund certificates amounting to $300, they have been cancelled and sent to the Treasury departineut to be barned. The entire amount of these certi- ficates outstanding is $166,350, and toeir pay- ment provided for from special assessments on private property. There have been issued by the commission to the present date fifty-year 5 bonds in exchange for certificates of the Board of Audit,2s required by act of Congress of June 20th, 1874, to the amount of 212,050,300, and this will yet be increased, but to what extent there Is no means of determining. Appropriations were made for the payment of the Interest upon these bonds by the Trea- t States as it fell due on ys of February and August last. nds have been issued as of the date of August Ist, 1874, interest on ceriifi- cates of the Board of Audit, dated subse- quent to that time, has been collected to the amount Of $87,436.68, and the amount depos- ited ~ oositsomnn of the ie ceaan to @ interest on @ pro] jonateamount er ds. Provision ‘should now be made by Congress for the interest which will become | dueon the first of February, 1576, and per- manent provision for that which will thereafter fall due, as also for the establish- ment of a sinking fund, as provided for in said act, which it is recommended should be at least one per cent. per annum on the amount of the bonds issued. The rae tion ana issuing of these bounds has for the time being added ‘ly to the labors of the office. This work, however, must now b- nearly completed, and great relief will be experienced when it is done, for then the en- Ure supervision of them will devolve upon officers of the ury department, uniess it be when bolders of the coupon bonds wish to have them istered, in whieh case as the law now sta the aid of the commis- sioners of the sinking fand is required. Under these circumstances it will be rec- ommended that a transfer by appropriate legislation of the functions of the commis- sion to officers of the Treasury department, to be designated for that purpose, which would bein strict harmony with the spirit of recent legislation under which Congress has assumed the direct control of the affairs of this District, going so far even as to levy and collect its taxes as well as to control the fund when collected. and furnish much need- ed relief to the Commusetoners of the Sink- ing Fund, who have for more than four years devoted their time and energies to @ faithfal administration of the financial affairs of this ogo and & the" rye sone of the - ies im) y act of Congress upon the enpoe - extent of benef her Ema contem- plated when they accepted an office sup) to be more of honor than of labor pol gent sonalemoluinent.

This morning the little acrobat, Zanlo Poole, who on the 13th of November was on babeas corpus taken from the custody of R. C. and Thomas Poole, who were performin; with him at the Theater Comique, and placed in the charge of Mr. T. F. Gatchel, was brought before Judge Wylie in cham- bers. It will be recollected that in the peti- tion Of Mr. Gatchell for the writ it was charged that the little boy,7 years of age, was made to perform acrobatic feats danger- ous to life and limb. This morning there were present the Poole brothers, Mr. Hodgers of the Comique, Mr. Gatchel and bis charge; the Jatter eee by Mr. Francis Miller. Mr. L. G. Hine appeared for the Poole broth- ers, and read an answer to the petition, stat- ing that they are subjects of Great Britain, and that their little brotber was with them with the consent of their mother, and they by these exhibitions supported their mother and family. They denied that the perform- ances are dangerous to life or limb, or have a demoralizing effect. They further state that it is their intention to return to England in the next three weeks, and ask that their brother be restored to them, promising not again to employ him in their exhibitions. Judge Wylie said that when the order was made he was under the opinion that these —— — a and hat the was properiy . may have been mmistaken—tne performances may be perfectly safe, and the place a school of virtue— but it must reston Jud the for they intended to Feave the jarisaletion of the court, and the court not reach them. the names of George H. Noyes, repair man, | and Dr. J. W. Wanstall, veterinary surgeoa, be plnred on the regular pay roll. Another co:amunication was received from the District Commissioners, requesting the beard to promptiy report to them the cost of @ fire engine which in their opinion would be test calculated for nse in the . Mr. Thomas made & motio: rd recommend to tie Commissioners of the Dis- Lrict the purchase of a self-propelling steam fire engine, and that the secretary be in- structed to communicate with the patentee — said engine to ascertain the cost of the me. Mr. Collins offered a substitute, which was adopted, that the subject be referred to the committee on apparatus, with instructions to inquire and report as to the best style of engine to be purchased, and eost of same. Applications for positions tn the depart- ment from W. 8. Jones, John F. Snyder, and J. W. Robinson were placed on file. Appli- cations for fire keys from C. J. Hillyer aud H. Hook were granted. The resignation member of Jonn H. O'Neill was read, and caused qnite a discussion. Mr. Tuomas made a motion, which was adopted, “that all persons who have been acting for sixty days or longer as members of the fire depart- ment of the District of Columbia, are hereby confirmed as members thereof.’’ Mr. Collins offered a substitute, which was lost, that the chief engineer be required to report’ for con- firmation or rejection all men who have been on probation two months. This action con- firmed O'Neill as a member of the depart- ment, and his resignation as such was wen acrepted. A communication was received from As- sistant Chief Engineer Drew. requesting that he be relieved from the duty of pre- senting judgments for debt against the mem- bers of the fire department. On motion of Mr. Collins, it was decided that hereafter judgements presented against the men be.referred to the Secretary, who will notify the men of their receipt, and remind them of the rule of the board bear- ing on the subject. Mr. Thomas, to whom was referred the charge preferred against John Moore. engi- neer of company No. 4, of ne t of duty, reported that he had fuily examined the case, and dismi: the charge. The report Was confirme:. The board then took into consideration the charges preferred against Foreman Lowe, of comrpany No. 3, of being absent without leave, and,on motion of Mr. Hume, they were dismissed on account of Mr. Lowe's previous good conduct and his excnse of sickness in his family,and he was repri- manced and cautioned. Upon the suggestion of the President, the report of the Chief Engineer relative to the purebaee of more hose for the department, Was adopted, and the blank filed out with 5,000 feet. Adjourned. BUILDING ASSOCTATIONS.—At the third regular monthly meeting of the Hamiltoa Building Association, last night, at tae Board of the Trade |. the secretary was kept busily at work for about two hours in receiving subscriptions and issuing certiti- cates of stock. Thirty siares were advanced upon at an average premium of 42 per cent. This is a low premium, and the attention of persons who may want stock is called to the advertisement elsewhere. ——_o—_—.
