ABill to be Submitted to Congress by the District Commissioners. The needs ofa law regulating the sales of property for delinquent taxea has long been upparcut, The matter was called to the atten- tion of the Commissioners some time ago, as stated in Tz Star at the time, by Collector Davis, who urged the drafting of a bill to be presented to Congress asking for the desired legislation, Today the Commissioners drew the following bill, which they will submit to Congress at an early day: Be it enacted, &c., that the Commissioners of the District of Columbia shall prepare alist of all taxes on real property in said Districtsubject to taxation upon which said taxes are levied und in arrears on the first day of July, 1889, and each and every year thereafter, inelnding all taxes due to the late corporation of Washington city, Georgetown, the Levy Court of the connty of Washington and the Dis- trict of Columbia, ud said Commissioners shall publish the same. with a notice of sale,ina Pumphlet,of which not less than three thousand copies shall be printed, for distribution to tax payers applying therefor, and a list of sai property shall be printed and published one In a daily newspaper published in the District of Columbia at a cost not da am of twenty cents parcel of property so adver- id Commissioners on the third 1890, and the third Tuesday eur thereafter give notice by advertising twice a week for three suc- cessive weeks mm gular issue of two daily d in eaid District that newspxpers pnblisly said pamphiet has been and that a copy thereof be to any tax payer dnly applying _ there for at the office of the said Commissioners, and that if the taxes du together with the penalties and costs that may bave accrued thereon, shall not be paid prior to the day fixed for sale the property will be sold under the diree of the d Commissioners lic auction at the office of the collector stor the District of Columbia, com- mencing three weeks after the first publication of the said not and continuing on each fol- lowing day, Sundays and legal holidays ac- cepted, until ail said delinquent property is sold. “See. 2. That all acts and parts of acts in- consistent herewith are hereby repealed.” seid nasil ICE THE PROSPECT, Notwithstanding the Weather Here Jack Frost is at Work in Maine. If next summer is warm in proportion as the winter has been so far, the question of the ice supply is one that will interest everyone, For the purpose of finding what our chances of having enough ice next summer are likely to be, a Stan reporter this morning calied at the ofices of two of the leading ice compa- nies of this “Our prospects are all of a most favorable nature,” said the president of the Independent ice company. “We have a full force of men at work at our ice houses on the Kennebec and they are storing plenty of first-class ice, We are more than two weeks in advance of lust year, and have aly gotalarge amount of ‘ice ‘into our houses. We have w capacity of 60,000 tons in our Kennebee hones and = 20.000 more in the honses along the ponds, This is eticn a two years a ly sup- h our ice, If the sine continues any rea- we will have more thay nder cover by spring.” MORE ICE THAN USUAL, Mr. T. A. Lambert of the Great Falls ice company had pretty much the same story to tell. “The quantity of ice we have already stored in our house in Maine is very consid- erably larger then at this same period last yer. The ice is of a good qnality and there is plenty of it, It seems queer to think of harvesisug ice while we are having auch unusual we: r here, The ice business is, of course, a very uncertain one. but 1 must say that ail present appearure ss point to an ex- cellent crop of Maiue ice this winter.
