Powers of the Commissioners as Settled by the Courts, PORTS FROM 4 DECISION BY JUDGE HAGNER RE- AFFIRMED BY THE COURT IN GENERAL TREM TES- ‘TERDAY—THE COURTS WITHOUT POWER TO REVIEW ‘TUR RATES FIXED BY THR COMMISSIONERS. As stated in yesterday's Sram, Judge James, in announcing the opinion of the Court in General ‘Term sustaining the District Commissioners in the ‘action brought against them toenjota them from enforcing the collection of the water rate of $5, charged for stores, in cases where it was alleged no water fixtures were on the premises, referred to ‘an opinion delivered by Judge Hagner in a similar case some Jrars ago, and said the court would em- dody in Its opinion, when handed down, the con- ¢lusions then reached by Juage Hagner. The opinion by Judge Hagner reterred to was delivered August 14, 1878, in the case of Carpenter against collection of water rates under regulations then tly adopted.

This od- jection, Judge Hagner stated, was not directed wo he intfiusle iMegality of the rates, but to the right ocollect tt within the year 1870, "Before ing o howe ir considen the alleged Wegaitey of ‘the faves th moeives to to 7 f- wed at cousiderable length the powers of the Commissioners respecting the apportionment and collection of water rates.” . THE COMMISSIONERS’ AUTHORITY. ‘The court said: “First. It is insisted that the District Commissioners had no authority to appor- Uon the rates solely according to the ‘asyessed values’ of the houses, but that this element in the apportiuament could only be adopted in connec- tion with ail, or, at least, with some of the other ‘data’ enumerated in section 19, as size, uses of houses, number of occu ec.’ The act of Con- Ee Which conferred the original power of estab- Inglots city was pastes i Mays 1860, "As Placed iy In May, 1859, AS pla in the Ret ‘Statutes of the District it reads a8 follows: ‘The tive assembly has authority Ww establish a scale of annual rates for the supply ana use of the water apportioned to different Classes of buildings, according to their size, dimen- ‘Sons, assessed values, exposure Lo fires, uses for aweilings, stores, shops, stables, manufacturing or other purposes, number of occupants, or con- ‘su:nption of water, measured by meter or otherwise, to modity, alter, amend, increase or reduce ch scale from me t9 iline, and extend it to other descriptions of bulidings and establishinents, and to provide for the collection of such rates, in advance oF otherwise, from the owners or occu- pants of all buildings or establisuments using the Water; to provide for stopping the supply of water to any dwelling or establisument upon a failure to Pay the rate, and generaliy to enact such laws as May be necessary to supply the inhabitants of Washington and ¢ Georgetown with re and. a whole- some water, carry into full effect the pro- ‘Visions of this chapter DEVOLVED UPON THE COMMISSIONERS. By the act of Congress of 10th June, 1870, all the powers, duties and limitations belonging to the legislative assembly under the Revised Stat- Lutes In respect of the water supply are devolved upon the District Commissioners, with the addl- Uonal provision, then first expressed in words, that the Water rites should be uniiorm in the District. In my opinion tils section dos not re- quire the Commissioners, in establishing the seale 0f rates, to embody as elements in thelr deterini- hatioa aié the methods mentioned as factors in the determination of the rates. How, tor ex- ample, couid the proper rent for a store or stable be apportioned according ‘to the number of 1s occupants;" and if the charge should be based upon the actual consumpilon of water measured by a meter, for What possible puirpose and in what manver would they afterward undertake to modify the result thus positively ascertained by introducing the elements of size, dimensions, num- bef of occupants and exposure ‘to fire, &c.3 he Varluus metuods of ascertaininent enumerated must be regarded as mere suxyestions to the Commissioners of a number of elements of calcu- Jation from which they are at Uberty toseleet one or more, relying upon ove alone or construing It With others of the number, If 1a their discretion ey should see ft to do so “The contemporaneous legislation and practice Js lustrucuive ‘upon tue point Tu Ocuobet oF tae Year in wulcb the act of Congress was enacted, tue (wen corpo ativa of Wasulugton, to carry into effect he provisions of the “uct, passed an ordi- Dance €s.ablishing water rates, to take effect oo the rst of January, 1860, and based their devermt- bation exclusively pun the ‘size and dime.sions’ Of tue buildiugs, and discarding all others of the indicated tests ‘or elements of chelr rates.

Of late years much progress has been made, especially in France, in this direction, At the prison congress, held at Rome in 1885, much interest was excited by the detailed description given by M, Bertillon of what 1s termed the anthropometric system of taking measurements and observations of offenders When’ once tn custody. This takes cognizance chiefly of the following measurements: The length and width of the head, the length of the left foot, the left forearm, and’ of the little and middle fingers of the left hand; the length of the right ear, and also Uhat of the’ trunk of ‘the body, taken when seated; the fu.l stretch of the arms, and the ht of the body.
