John M. Wilson, who has charge of the public buildiugs and grounds, wrote to the Commissioners requesting information as to what extent they claimed Jurisdiction over the smaller United States reservations. This action ‘was brougnt about by Col. Wilsou from the fact that in a great many instances where United States property adjoined private lots the fences of the former were turown down, the owners of the lots claiming that they had the authority of the butlding inspector. ‘The Commissioners, in answer to Colonel Wilson, Say that tne technica) term “reservation,” as used with reference to property embraced in the plan of the city of Washington, refers only to certain ‘squares an spaces reserved tn the original plat of the city for purposes of public bulldings or public health and conventence. ‘The spaces niade.Ly the intersection of streets and avenues were not, Strictly speaking, reservations.
