VIEWS OF DISTRICT COMMISSIONER DENT. District Commissioner Dent yesterday sent to the Hen. S. W. Dorsey, chairman of the Senate lowing communication: ne the views of the Commissioners In regard to mace Dil 1479, Introduced by Senator Roliins on the 11th of Dece.nber, T embrace the earliest opportunity of complying with your reque st. ui have carefully examined the bill and think | its provisions, on the whole, eminently just and | proper. @n the 27th of September last I felt tt my | duty to place before the board of commissioners | the views which weuld govern me In e3 3 the act of i9th June, ists. providing for vision and correction of special assessments. a printed copy of which I herewith enclose for the consideration of the committee, and I ask leave now more briefly to reiterate the views therein expressed. The consideration of this subject suggests questions of supreme concern to the owners of property in this District now charged with these assessments, to some of which I invite the attention of the committee. BENEFITS. Every legislative act authorizing these assess- ments, whether passed by Congress or the Legislative Assembly, provides in substance that private property “fronting on an improve- meni and specially Benefitted thereby” shall be assessed for one-third of the cost of sueb im- provement. And by the act of 19th June, 157 the Commissioners are directed to enforce th covection of assessments against “‘proy erty benefitted by the improvements in respect to which said assessments were made.” Nor Is it for general benetits resulting from street tin- roverments, that one-third of the cost of such Thprovements is authorized to be assessed against private property. ‘These general ben- elits are paid for out of the general fund. which is charged with the other two-thirds of the cost of the improvements. It is for special beneti to the property abuttlag on the impro. streets, and for those alone, that such py erty n be assessed for one-third of vi | of the improvement. Now it is evident that unless the plain meaning of the series of enactments on thi subjes is to be ignored, private property, not specially benetited by the improvement on which jt fronts, cannot justly be assessed for one-third of the cost of Such’ improvement. Mere espe- cially is this true where the property, as I happened in numerous cases, has. damaged. 1 further hold ‘that in all where the board of audit has awarded danm- ages, that award must be accepted a sive evidence that the property has not bi benefited, and that the assessment shou’ therefore be eanceiled. For it Is to be simied that the board considered both benefits and injurl award was m: for the excess of damag 1 benetiis ceived. ‘This {s the rule practiced in all suc | cases. I know of no exceptions, and haveevers the awards of tt t | reason to believe that | Of audit are based o1 INTER! [assume that the passage of the act of 1911 June, isis, directing the ‘Commisioners to re vise and correct * erroneous and ex sessmments,” was ed on evidence be: ress Of Me existence of such © cesses, and was intended as a veliet to the tax-payers of thi And the facet that in _ neart: case where revision has been Go abun’ board mea ntly supports this evidence, and fully justities those who refused to pay without such revision and correction. Payment was refused in mo: cases, not because they were unwilling to bear any lawful and just burdens of taxation, bu because they knew, or were advised, that. th: assessments were unjust and unwarranied b: and in numerous cases they were wholly le to meet these excessive demands. They cannot therefore be properly regarded as in default, And as, under the circumstances, r- vision amounts virtually to a re-assessment of their property, I hold that interest should run against them only irom the date of such revi- sion or re-assessmen‘. Otherwise, revision wil! ford no relief whatever. For at the rate of ten per cent., or even six per cent., the interest will equal the reductions made by revision, and we Sindaat to be paid in 1s7s-"9 will be as large asin RIGHT OF APPEAL. 1 think that in all cases the right of appeal to the courts for redress against the acts of execu- lve authority should be accorded to citizens. By the construction given to the act of i9th Jane isis, In recent decisions of the Supreme Court. this right has been taken from them. From the history of the passage of that act it isclear that Congress never intended or contemplated such a result, The bill of Senator Rollins ts in harmony with the views above expressed on the subject of benefits. I think ft should be so amended as to make interest on these assessments commence at the date of revision, and to restore to citizens their right of appeal to the courts. In conclusion, | beg to assure the committee, from personal Knowledge of the facts, that un- less such equitable considerations as 1 have en- deavored to present suall be allowed to temper the severity of the act of 19th June, as ¢¢ strued by the Supreme Court, the homes of hu dreds of poor families in this District must in- evitably, and very soon, pass Into the hands of banks and capitalists who hoid the: ¢ tay-mori- € Was ick a mented ped resis- ps said that he thon lad not had sed value Capitol ny Other section of thi of the statement he on. the subject pub- ‘THE EVENING Star. was just as grievon: go, before the last 5 Ile attributed the searei He thought al! le said the w ‘s nearly haif the preseat the city said that she was a prop- of George Wash- ners sald they have Capitol Hill they claim to been bad financier Major Twining thought that Gen.

THE NAVY YARD INVESTIGATION—DISCUSSION AS TO HAVING A DISTRICT DELEGATE IN CON- GRESS—THE WATER SUPPLY QUESTION, BTC. The Workingmen’s Assembly met last even- ing at Beck’s hall, Mr. E. B. Robinson in the chair and Mr. J. T. Christian secretary. The committee on the subject reported that they had waited on the District Commissioners and represented that the laborers of the eastern district stated that they were not getting a fair share of work, and were informed that it some- Umes happens that there is more work In some districts than others, but it was expected that they would have shortly more work than they could do. Mr. Ramsey, from the committee on the memorial in reference to the establishment of a bureau of labor statistics, reported that it had been handed to a member of Con: and would be presented shortly. Mr. I from the fal committee on the navy investigation, stated that the report had been sent up to the department, and he had no doubt as the Secretary of the Navy had taken an in- terest in the matter that the workingmen would get justice. Mr. Barker called attention to the Nested report of the last meeting that Messrs. A. E.Sardo and J. E. Cushley, of the Pressmens’ Union, had been dropped. It should have been stated that their terms of office had expired and the union had reduced the number of delegates to one. Mr. Hamilton offered a resolution inviting Gen. Harmer to attend the bext meeting and address them on the Emigra- tion Enlistment Association’s bill which is now pending in Congress. A DISTRICT DELEGATE IN CONGRESS DISCUSSED. Mr. Thomas offered a resolution declaring that the District is entitled to representation in Congress, the same as the territories, and ap- pe ing the bill providing for the election of a Delegate in Congress by the District. Mr. Beron opposed the resolution, remarking that the Dis- trict, having committees in Congress,was better off than the territories, and when we had a Delegate no one could approach him. If we had 2 Delegate to elect, there would be another tur- moti, and everything from the surrounding country would concentrate here, and the resi- dent workingmen would be damaged. Mr. Meany denied that the committees in Congre: in any manner represented the District. Mr. Barker claimed that the workingmen, if united. were now strong enough here to elect any one they nominated or united on. Mr, Ramsey dep- reeated this agitation, remarking that the as- sembly would become a ward meeting, anu hembers would be button-holing each other for votes. It would be as it always had been, the inan with the most money would buy up the most votes. Mr. Meany asked if Mr. Murch. in Maine, found ft necessary to use money ? Mr. Ramsey replied that he did not havi land and Virgt todraw from. Mr. Thom: argued that it was the right of every Ameri to be represented, come up to the standard it was no reason why we should not, have the opportunity to elec better one.

Mr. Meany rose to a point of order, that It was an insult to the average American citizen to say that we ever had a lecislature. {Laughter He said that now our officers represent all parts of the country, except M Dent, who comes trom Georgetown, and no on knew where Capt.

Mr. Reynolds warmly endorsed the resolutions, saying it was better to live undera dictator than under the prescay regime, who even now are agitating the question of measuring out the water which God has given us, The subject was postponed for two weeks.
