WILSON MILLER AND DISTRICT ATTORNEY RIDDLE DIFFER AS TO THEIR CONSTRUCTION. Mr. Wilson Miller, of No. 39 Defrees street, under date of June 30:h, writes to the District Commis- stoners fn relation to the dog tax. He says: “In the second session of 1878 the Congress of the United States passed an act approved June 10, same year, providing for levying a tax on dogs in this District and guarantering to such property and its owners certain privileges and protection as ab equivalent.” Since the passage of this act prescribing the status of dozs in this District, he states that he has patd into tue District treasury each year from $10 to $14; that he has done so on the supposition that the law would be respected by the District authorities, and the rivileges and Protection accorded be faithfully secured to dog prope. The. section cited especially Provides | that each dog duly tuxed “shall be permitted to run at large In the Distr ct of Columbia,” and be protected in so. doing. Of course this includes the freedom of the public grounds and places, He states that this provision of the law has been recently abrogated by the chief of police, and his subordinates presumably «s claimed by authority of the District Commissionera. “The owners of valuable dogs in the District,” he states, “ now desire to know what security they can have that the same power that has thus ervitrarily set aside one proviston of this law may not further abrogate and nullify any and all otuer provisions for the roteclion and security of their pioperty and leave them with no equivalent for his money.” The actual money value of some of these dogs he says, “is far up into the huadreds of dollars each. I have several times refused above one hundred dollars for one of mise which I have been accustomed to send to market for his and iny own provisions, and the action of the chief of police in enforcing an old mar- ket regulation to keep dogs out of the markets be- ou an attack on absolute as well as vested hts.” ‘ne board referred this paper to Attorney Rid- dle with the question—“Does the act of Congress of June 19, 1878, admit of the construction claimed by the complainant?” Mr. Riddle replies this morning as follows: “A log like a man running at large fa the District 1s, nevertheless, subject to necessary police regula- tions for the protection of the public property and good order. I don’t Unink the constru.tion put by the complainant on section 4 13 sound.” ee War Department Changes. APPOINTMENTS, PROMOTIONS, TRANSFERS, ETC.
