The caseof J. H. Brewer agt. the District of | Columoia was decided by the General Term this morning,Judge Cox delivering the opinion. The question was whether a tax sule and deed pursuance of the under such act, gave to the purchaser at such sale a utle free and clear from all taxes as- sessed prior to such sale. It was claimed by the District that although as a general rule a tax deed would convey’ a title, free from all such prior taxes, yet that under the pecullar terms nt these acts, the sale was to be regarded as rior thereto.

He bad large insurance upon his iife, The District Estimates, Controversy. ‘To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR: When I wrote my communication to your Journal on the subject of the schedule of strects not submitted by the District Commissioners to the Treasury department, which was printed in Tae STax of the 28th inst, it was not my intention to enter into a newspaper discussion nor to “step in and explain what the Commis- sioners intend to do with the money”—the estimates show that—but merely to point out and correct some wrong conclusions respecting Said schedule to which the correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune had arrived, as evidenced by his letter published in sald journal on the 26th ult, Butus “One Who Wants to Know” (as well as another correspondent signing himself “C.") propounds inquiries respecting the law in the premises, un expression respecting which I used in my communication, L will do-my best toclighten both. Written’ as my letter was amid the pressure of urgent business, it was more carelessly expressed than it would have been bad I nad the time to give it closer atten— tion. Had I done so I would have sald that the law ‘required “this item of $405,000 to be expended in street improvements within the city limits,” instead of saying that the law “in- dicated” it, This would have been the proper term and the statement is, as I hope to make clear, the fact. The law’ tn the premises, is the provision in the act of June 11, 1878,which requires the Commissioners to submit esti- mates showing wuut they propose to do with the District reyenues during the tiscal year nextensuing. This they huve done by” for- warding estimates showing for whut purposes the mouey is ty be spent and: the amount of ex- uditure under euch head. Ainong “these items is one for $405,000 for “improvement of streets and avenues;” another of $50,000 for “ialntenance (improvement) of suburban streets and county roads,” and still another for opening and extending Saburban streets and avenues, which I find is $60,000 instead of $50,000, as previously stated. ' Now then, what are Suuurban streets? Cleurly those OUTSIDE OF THE CITY LIMITS, ineluding Georgetown, which is regarded as part of Wasuington, and théir improve- ment and care is thus provided for in items separate from the item of $405,000. ‘The wording of the appropriation styled “im- provement of streets and avenues” has always been intended to mean such within the ciy limits, and the appropriation never expended for aly other, and heretolore no one has ever questioned tat such was the case. Whenever ‘uy expenditure for improvements is to be muide, a distinction has always been made, and Js this year, belween the city and county, the Jutter Deing specitied when intended, and when Ot so specitied all the expenditures for lin- provement of streets were expended in the city \Tindis. And why ts thisso? Bevause every ous Kuew that such appropriaiious were intended Wo be expended in the city and they were, and it bus never been thought necessury by’ any board of Commissioners to add the worus “in Washington and Georgetown” to the item for improving streets and avenues, as It was so thur- oughly understood. As your correspondents must be aware, much goes by implication and Still more by precedent,” In Lie macter of laying sewers also the sume distinction is made, tuere being a separate Liem submiited tor suburban Sewers of $25,000 and anuther item of $70,000 for “main una pipe sewers,” leaving it unuer- siood by implication and in accordance: with precedent Liat tue city (including Georgetown) 43 receive the benefit of the appropriation, ‘The unalterable fact then remains that ali items for street improvements that tail to specifically state that tuey are to be expended in the county are to be and have been expended in the city, andsuen hus always been the understanding ‘between the Commission- | ers, the Treasury department aud appropria- tion committees of Congress, sud any departure therefrom would be 1n direct violation of it. ‘Lhe omission, ten, lo use the words “cities of Washington and Georgewwa” is merely be- cause JU is regarded superfiuous by ull parties named above, und sucu item of $405,000 Is estimated in accordance with this un- derstanding, so that the law which provides for the submission of such mate and all others pluinty requires, even though it does not “indicate” that the ‘appro- riations for improvements in the city cannot expendéd in the county, it being provided in seetlun 3678 of the Revised Guututes, thut no appropriation for one object Ban be diverved to use upon another. As Lhave once more the opportunity of writing on thts subject, 1 ask Your induigeuce in space sutticient to bresent yne or two more tacts us briefly as possibie. One is that I have taken means w ascertain that the reason why the Commissioners did not submitascbeduie of thestreets tobe luproved to tue Treasury department, in addition ww the fuct that, as they express tleuselves in their letter, tuey are nnable ul tue present time to de- termine eXaetly which streets should have order of precedence out of the great mass demanding attention, Was Vecause Lueir estimates receive & merely technieul revision by tue secretary, the main examination being In th & subordinate o1 the first controlier's office, anu itis no wonder that they shoud not their sele-tion o1 streets to go through su revision. He mightussume under th thorizing the exaiuination at the Treasury of the estimates to throw out or insert some street im whien he migut be privately interested, ai- though this would hardly be tolerated by Con- | gress.

AS ADMISSION FROM THE TREASURY DEPART- MEN It will be interesting in this connection to note the following extract from the rinted book of estimates for the pesenir treat yeur, prepared ut the Treasury Mopac: ment,” It’ reads us tollows, appearing just below the item ior work ‘on the sirecis estluated for the current year (not the next: “Noie.—Tuis department is not prepared, with the means of injurmation at its command, wo state Wuat particular streets or avenues vught first tobe improved. * * * J¢is recommended that Congress, In making the appropriation, shall State the order in which tue work siall be doue.” (The italicizing is mine.) Itis thus ob- served, und needs no statement of mine to qwake ‘It more emphatic, that last year the ‘Treasury departinent admiued the Very iuct which the Commissioners now contend, viz: that Congress 1s the proper uutuority tw cali for such schedule, und deliberately acknowl edged thut, as to ule schedule then submitied, tuey had no knowledge whether it contained Ue prover strecis, but referred the mutter to Congress, This is exuctly the Commissioners’ View, und Congress will be furnished # schedule upon its convening; so Lhat uli the waste of pa- pet and luk aud tue newspaper space involved in tuls discussion of the schedule might have been avulded, us Well as the numberiess edi- loriais in the Sunday press as to the friction whieh tight arise between the United States government aud tue District, involving # dis solution of present tinaucial relutions, 88 Cou- gress und vot the ‘Treasury department is tue party to the agreement to bay 50 ber ceutum of the Disirict’s expenses, und. tw tuem the Com missiouers will, as 1 uin luiormed on the best authority, as they always have, give 1ull infor. mation 8% tothe minutest detail of their pro- Pused expenditure of tue District revenues.
