GanFIBLp FONERAL EXPENSES DIBALLOWED.—First Controller Durham has disallowed the claim of W. R. Speare, an undertaker of this city, for $1,890 for services at the funeral of ex-President Garfield. A point was raised in this case that the claim was inade against the Governinent and not against the ex-President, and therefore was_not affected by the act of Congress of August 5, 1882, appoint ing 4 board of audit to settle clains growing out of the sickness of ex-President Garfield. The claim was rejected by that board because of claimant’s failure to comply with the requirements of the act. The First Controller now ‘holds that the board had ample Jurisdiction in the matter, and that the claim was properly rejected, ‘Tse NAvAaL ReviRiNa Boaxp has recommended the retirement of Lieut.

This answer was received: Brevoorr House, New York, May 17, 1887.— Hon. Robert E. Pattison—Dear Sir: Your favor of the 11th inst, reached me the evening of the 13th, as I was leaving the city; hence my reply has been delayed until my return here, In answer to your request to appear before the committee and give facts and suggestions touching the work before the committee, I will simply say that I have no knowledge of the affairs of the Pacific except voluntary statements ae uch, mane, ame knowledge of many things in respect of the management or ini ment of these prop- erties, together with such other facts as I Was gible 10, obtain trom reports and the Teco! of e ents Ww: Sea SRE eat ae of an additional subsidy to them as was ; and before any legislation could be safely and lntelligently attempted an investigation into the conduct and practices of their managers should frst be made.

All the information I have received in regard to ‘the m: ent Of these roads has been at- tained from the files of the several Government De- Partments, and in some cases from statements voluntarily brought to me by parties, Now I do not care to go beiore the Commission and be cross- examined upon a subject on which I have no per- sonal knowledge, aud: besides asa Senator Tshall ‘De compelled to act upon the report of this Com. mission when it shall be submitted to Congress I do not choose to be made a witnes in a case where- in I am required to be one of the judges.

Symons Says About Them. The attention of Capt. Thos, W. Symons, of the engineer department of the District government, Was directed by a Stam repurter to-day to a reso- lution adopted last night by Citizens’ Association ‘No. 4 inquiring whether the Commissioners have the legal right to increase the water tax, and also how it will affect poor people who are compelied to purchase water by reason of the very general removal of the public pumps, The first thing Capt. Symons aid was to open acopy of Webb’s Digest, lying near his elbow, at 396, and to Tead the rollowing paragraph to the reporter: “fhat the said corporation (of Washington) shall have authority, by ordnance act or oterwise, to estabiish ascale of annual rates for the supply and use of sald water, apportioned to different classes of buildings in gaidcity, * * * and to modify, alter, amend, increase or’ reduce such scale trout Ume to time; * * * tocoliect such ratesor rents when so fixed, in advance or otherwise.” THE INCREASED RATE AUTHORIZED BY LAW, “Now,” said Capt. Symons, turning to the re- Porter, “you can see what authority the Commis- ‘stoners have to increase the water rent, and this authority has not been diminished or reduced by subsequent acts of Congress, So far as the in— crease Will affect poor people, you may say that it will be scarcely percep.ibie. Most all the people were taxed under the old rates at $3.30 per annum for 2 house having @ frontage af 16 1eet and two stories in height, The new rates will only ‘increase that amount by 20 centa You will find that nearly one-half of the houses in the city pay this rent and no more. Inthe case of houses which are four stories in height and have a frontage say thirty feet, the new Water rates will be an increase of two dollars and four cents over the old. ‘Therefore you can see that seventy-tive per cent of the increase will fall ‘upon these large houses.” “THE NECESSITY FOR THIS INCREASE,” he sald, “arises from the fact that the income heretofore derived from this source has not been sufficient to support the department, as is evidenced by the many complaints that have been made of the inadequacy of the water sup- ly. The increase is also necessary from the fact hat al the present time there are several sections: of the city absolutely without proper protection from fire. My object is to place tire hydrants and ‘other appliances in these localitley but it cannot ‘be done without money. THE REMOVAL OF PUMPS. “Before we got water from the Potomac River,” he continued, “the people were supplied by pumps. Since that time three-tourthsof the pumps have been removed, but not by the District authorities. In the majority of cases it was done by the owners of the propery on which they stood, Who did not Wish them there. Where the pumps were and are removed by order of the Commissionersitis because it was ascertained by analysis that the water ‘was impure and unfit for use. Besides, theservice of the pumps 13 Inadequate, nor ts there enough ped to keep — in vee We have had for e year 1887 on! Tepair these which sum you will acknowledge 1s not suincient when it is known that there is any number pumps in the territory between Brightwood and Anacostia, As fast aS we can we are replacing ‘the old pumps with handsome new ones, but that cannot be done unless there is money.” ‘THE QUESTION OF REVENUE. “Then, too, You must remember that quite one- half of the revenue obtained from water rent is ‘used to pay the District's share of the interest on the fund. If we could have the entire use of the revenue to run the ent there would be no more complaints but you know that we haven't. ‘There 13 also "another matter to which I called the Commissioners’ attention in my ast annual report,? said Capt. Symons in conclusion. “I mean thit ‘the Water-main tax should be increased from 13, to 1% cents per square foot. Why? For the rea~ son simply that nowadays we are putting down whi of cost more money.
