8 a THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.¢. MONDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1891—TEN PAGES. DISTRICT AFFAIRS. The Commissioners Submit Their Report to the President. NEW LAWS RECOMMENDED. ‘The Commissioners Urge Capt. Lusk’s Plan for Sewage Disposal—The High License System Again Urged—An Appropriation Asked for a New District Building. The District Commissioners today submitted to the President for transmission to Congress the report.of their official doings for the fiscal year ended June 90, 1891. The report gives a summary of the operations of the various de- partments of the District government, as set forth in the annual reports of the heads of ‘those departments, heretofore published in Taz Stan, Asammary is given of the report of the su- itor, printed in detail elsewhere. showing that the receipts of the District for the year, taxes of all kinds, amounted to #2,569,205.73, which, together with unexpended balances and the amount credited to the revenues of tre District en account of 48-inch and 14th street water ‘mains transferred to the water fund, brought the re iting the revenues of the Betis Withee Be tprere tions for the year amounted to #5,53),032.87, the 50 cont from the treasury of the Ui Btates 92,919,516.43. The balance in 0 30, 1891, available for ap- the treasury Propriation, was €112,210.64. ‘WHAT THE DISTRICT OWES. ‘The amount of the bonded debt of. the Dis- teict Jone 90, 1891, was 219,500,300. The only floating indebtedness of the District consists of accounts unsettled, because they are not cov- ‘ered by antecedent appropriations. It small in amount consists prin ‘of the courts rendered 5: passage of thecurrent annual appro- priation law and of the obligations incurred to sequent meet minor The District on June 1891, owed the United States 9881,501.87, on account of the advances for the constructing of the water supply funnel and aj neces, and $295, 912.69 on account of advances for forty-cight-inch water main and lith street water main and connections. The first is payable in nineteen and the latter in twenty-five equal annual installments, with interest at 3 per cent = annum, outof the revenues of the water partment. ASSESSMENTS AND TAX COLLECTIONS. ‘The Commissioners urge the repeal of the provision of the law now requiring the assessor to furnish the collectur with a duplicate of the meral assessments on the first day of Novem- each vear. stating that the requirement is ‘&n infeasible one with the present clerical force, and even if it could be readily met, would be of no practicable service. The assessor, they say, should be required to make out all tax bills. The act of February 6, 1879. requiring the col- lector to make out certificates as to the condi- tion of the tax accounts of property, should also, they urge. be amended so as to’ transfer that duty to the assessor, who is in charge of the records containing the data upon which such certificates are based. It is urged that authority be given for the reassessment o! the taxes and assessments rencered uncoliectibie under various rulings the court Decause of technical errors, and which rulings cause a cousiderable dizect loss of Fevenue, encouraging taxpayers to be dilatory, by holding out the hope that they may ul mately evade contributing tbeir just share to the support of the government. ‘The Comm: sioners approve the recommendation of the pocewnely ~rryty tga passed prescribing that no deed be recorded by the recorder of dee ‘unless it Seaetommented by a certificate of the surveyor that the property is properly de- seribed in the converace. “The Commission ers are not yet able to express any view as to the probable outcome of the general triennial as- sessment now in progress by the three assessors appointed under the District appropriation act larch 3, 1891, but, they say, from the high mal and business reputation of the gen- Remen charged with that duty, they anticipate a result much more equitable and satisfactory than the present assessment. The Commis- sioners approve the assessors’ suggestions re- garding the revision of the license tax law and ‘Urge that the revenue from licenses, and es- pecially from liquor licenses, might be largely ‘THE HIGH LICENSE SYSTEM. Either of the bills on the subject of liquor li- censes submitted by the Commissioners at tho first session of the Fifty-first Congress and not acted on would, the Commissioners think, ef- fect a improvement on the present law on the subject, both with respect to increase of Tevenue and to the better regulation and sur- veillance of the business. ‘Ihe Cowmissioners repeat what was said in the last annual report im favor of the “high license system,” which the two bills referred to were designed to es- tablish, aud add: “Within the past year there have been some terrible exampies of the ban ful effects of the, overrun of alcobolic drinks in the District “Wo are still hearing of the good results of the high license system else- where, and are the more anxizus to have its ‘The shen ~ f the raing le c jon of the assessor regarding leg- islation to te the fusurance, business ie a and the report says the Commis- pga pee Say Gocgress oh tte present session drafts of bills embodying their views as to the necessary correctional legislation. TEE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. ‘The Commisnoners say they are glad to be able to report the continued prosperity of the publie schoola. During the decade ended 1890 ‘the population of the whole country increased more than 24 per cent; the increase fm the growth of the District during the same time was a little more than 29 per cent, whereas the increase in the attendance on the public schools of the District for the same period was a little more than 39 per cent. ‘The growth of the schools during the Year was a little less than 5 per cent, showing, ‘as the Commissioners believe, the continuance of e healthy progress of the schools as well as of the confidence of our people in their useful- ness and efficiency. We are educating at public cost about 40,000 children in the day schools and are giving’ in- struction in the night schools to about 2,500 persons. ‘The experiment of furnishing text books free to the pupils of lower grades of school ie being tried the current school year. ‘This ex- periment wi guarded with care and watcbed with great interest. The Commission- ere have given their indorsement to the move- ment by making estimates to continue free books where they have been placed and for ex- tending the experiment to higher grades as to the necessary correctional legislation. THE AEMY AND NAVY CLAUSE. In speaking of the police department the Commissioners second what Maj. Moore said respecting the limit put upon the source of supply for the force by what is known as the army and navy clause, und say: “This law was intended to benefit the sur- vivors of the Federal army in the late civil war, but it has long ceased to have any such effect. Physical strength and activity are 80 indispensa- bie as qualifications for the force that the regu- lations have for many years prescribed the age of thirty-eight years as the maximuin for appit- eants for appointment upon the force. The applicant who is appointed at that age could hove been ‘only twelve years old at the close of war. “The embarrasments which have attended the enforcement of this statute caunot be overstated, as it substantially restricts appointments to re- cently discharged soldiers or sailors, many of whom enlist with the sole purpose of receiving an_ honorable discharge to make them eligible for policemen. The Commissioners reiterate the recommendations made by them and their Predeceasors that the law be repealed.” Respecting telegraph and telephone service the Commissioners refer to a recent accident due to the fall of a telegraph pole and A NEW MUNICIPAL BUILDIXG, The Commissioners quote what was said in Congress, recognizi: if the ‘ld sity ball for the ‘accommodation “both of the courts and the municipal oftices, ted £75,000 to purchase the interest of the District im this building, restricting the use of money $0 erection of a separate District Candies: This money, which, the Commissioners say, wes drawn by tbe treasurer of the board of works, bat was not ox- for the nation,” the re- port says. ‘the Commissioners have bad the sym- pathy ies port of the people of the District.”” pe mauen oe a atm eu ‘000 to have rece: ‘appropriation of r begin the ‘creation Gt @ building. The whole should cost not less than $300,000 nor more than $500,000. Our opinion fs that the pi place for its erection is between 9h and 7th Streets on the piece of land bel to the District, mediately in front of the Cen- ter Market. It would then be central, readily reached by street railway and other lines of city transportation, be an ornament to the principal street of the city and stand on ground already acquired by the District, The schedule of the cost of city halls in thirty-five of fifty of the cities in the United States, prepared by the census office and herewith submitted, is significant as to the propriety and per capita cost of such build- ings. The building we recommend, it will be seen, is largely below the average per capita cost of such buildings in other cities The schedule shows that— The average cost per capita for city halls in thirty-three of fifty of the it cities in the United States, as shown by the eleventh census, is $2.80 The average cost per capita in the Distric of Columbia for such « building covting £500,000, estimated population 250,000, would be. Ae + 2.00 A building costing $300,000 1 120 The design herewith transmitted shows an edifice of fine appearance to cost within £500,- 000 and large enough to secommodate ail the branches of the District government now lo- cated either at headquarters or in rented build- ings. STREET CLEANING. In regard to street cleaning the Commission- erssay: The street sweeping and cleaning is not being performed asefticiently as the amount appropriated therefor will permit The Com- ‘missioners have asked for increased appropria- tions on this account for tie next fiscal year and hope for a liberal consideration thereof by Congress in order that the reputation of the District for clean streets may be maintained. Since our last report a portion of this service has been improved by the introduction of a system of constant collecting by hand shovels during the business hours of the day all bulky deposits on the carriageway of Pennsylvania avenue. The results of this system have met the unqualified approbation of the citizens generally, of the oiticers of this municipality and .of the people who occupy the buildings along the thoroughfare thus cleaned. The cost of cleaning the street on this method is but slightly greater than that of sweeping by ma- chines, while the results are far more satisfac- tory. The Commissioners hope to extend this hand- cleaning system to other business streets and city thoroughfares upon which there is an ex- ceptionally large amount of travel. THE GARBAGE SERVICE. The Commissioners set forth the situation re- specting the removal of garbage and dead ani- mals as follows: On September 3, 1891, the Commissioners re- ceived written notice from the contractor for coliection and removal of garbage and for the removal of dead animals from the District of Columbia that he could no longer attempt to execute his contract, which, by its terms, was not to expire until the 30th day of June, 1892. This action of the contractor, oecurring ata period of the year when the accumulations of garbage were greatest and most dangerous to fhe health of tho. people, wae a source of em. barrassment to the Commissioners. They at once authorized the healih officer to employ teams and men, to act under the supervision of a number of inspectors, who succeeded in re- eumulations of garbage, which ry great, and in attending to the many complainis which were sent to the health ottice. On the 6th of September, 1891, the Commis- sioners caused advertisements to be published in newspapers in New York, Philadelphia, Bal- timore and Washington inviting proposals ior said service for the remuiuder of the fiscal year, to be opened on the 22d of September. Ou that day only one bid was PH esented. which wa: the sum of $54,200. This bid, being largel excess of the appropriation, could not be cepted, and the daily service has been con- tinued. Necessarily this daily service has been more expensive than would be like service under the control of a contractor, although the health officer and his assistants gave personal attention to all of its details and used extraordi- nary efforts to conduct the business with econ- omy. On the 25th day of November. in response to other invitations for like proposals, bids were opened for a daily service and the lowest bid- ders have been accepted, but in the meantime the appropriation for the current year has been practically exhausted and it will be neces- sary that provision be made for this important service by an appropriation for the remainder of the current year at the earliest practi- cable moment. Anticipating the letting of snother contract on the Is: day of July, 1892, for the perma- nent garbage service, the Commissioners also invited bids to be opened on the Ist day of De- cember for such service, contingent upon an appropriation to be made by Congress. It must apparent that any contractor who would perform this work to the satisfaction of the people of the District must have a sufti- cient length of time prior to the beginning of his work to prepare the necessary plant for the Utilization of the garbage when collected and deposited, and the Commissioners, therefore, recommend that Congress take action upon this matter by authorizing the Commissioners to make a contract at as carly a date as pos- sible in order that some satisfactory assurances can be given the contractor several months in advance of the expiration of the fiseal year. THE PROPOSED YLOWER MARKET. ‘The report refers with approval to the sug- gestions coming from “the Florists’ Club” looking to the erection of a permanent flower market, and says: “We have thought of the litule square lying between Pennsylvania ave- nue and Louisiana avenue and bounded on the east by 9th street. ‘The proximity of this par- cel of ground to the Center Market and two leading street railways would be very con- venient. The propriety of massing the flower stands apart from the fish and meat stands is ‘apparent. While the flowers a] chiefly to the sentiments by their beauty they have come to hold a largo partin the home commerce of many of our large cities, and in none propor- tionally more than in our own capital city. At an estimated cost of about €20.000 we are of opinion that net revenue to the District of not less than 6 per cent could be expected. The building should be owned and controlled by the District. We recommend the proper appropriation for the purpose on the site re- ferred to. A SUNDAY LAW WANTED. The Commissioners renew their former recommendations that a law be enacted to prohibit the pursuit of ordinary secular occu- tions on Sunday, saying: “We believe such a law to be in the interest of public morality, health and comfort, and hope that the desired gslation ou the subject will be effected.” express an earnest ho; it Congress will allow tho 50.000 estimated for, to eable the District to take a creditable part in the world’s Columbian exposition. HE BATHING BEACH. As to the bathing beach, from which, owing to delay in the work, the public derived little advantage during the past season, the report says: “Enough experience was obtained to justify the Commissioners in regarding this as ‘a source of comfort, enjoyment and useful in- struction to a large element of our population \d in recommending that it should not only be continued, but ted and enlarged.” OTREET PAVEMENTS. The pavements laid during the past year, the report says, were of granite block, asphalt on bituminous base and on hydraulic base, and halt block. The practice of laying asphalt shogt pavements on old cobble feandsticn has been pursued wherever occasion off wearing roadw dia considerable reduetion of expense. The sheet asphalt pavement laid on an old macadamized roadway of the city, which was mentioned in Inst year’s report, keeps in good condition and promises to wear well. No changes have been made in the methods of grading and regulating. ‘Ibe roadways, as arule, have been cover with macadam and then with gravel, as heretofore; gutters have been laid of cobblestone and curb putin. In the new work now being done tho Telford macadam has been substituted for the macadam formerly used. ‘The use of bluestone curb has been discon- ‘manently improved and used on streets on! partially improved. “In some cases carb hes given to outlying subdivisions where the gumers were desirous of improving their prop , this system of ausistance pure here thought Proper. Two kinds of = ona curb have becu used, one six by twen and the other eight’ by tight inches, conerete base. latter is the bandsomer of the two and has given satisfaction. ‘The nature, distribution and cost of the va- rious street ‘improvements made during the past year and the schedule of streets to be im- proved du: the current year have been given in im the assiatant’a report. EXTENSION OF STREETS. Under the head “extension of streets and ave- anes” the Commissioners say: The Commussion- ers have been placed during the year in an awk- ward position with regard to new subdivisions, from the fact that on the boundaries of the city are found old subdivisions made as the va- rious tastes of the owners for the beers we | dictated. The new subdivisions are req to conform with the general plan of the city of Washington except where the topography ren- ders deviation necessary. These subdivisions must be made to conform also to the irregular subdivisions, and to put the two together prop- erly is ip some cases well nigh impossiblo. ‘The owners of property along the line of Con- necticut avenue extended have presented to the District this avenue from near Rock creek to the District line. It eeems that the omitted piece betweon this extension, s0 dedi- cated, and the city, should be provided for at once. The extension of 16th street proper from Florida avenue to Morris street in accord- ance with the street Plan wae provided = = inst appropriation ‘he proposed Roc! Creek Park, bordering upon tbe propestt ex- tension of this street, renders it expedient to provide by tion for the extension of this street through the irregular subdivisions north of Florida avenue. Other instances of @ simi- lar character might be enumerated. It would seem that the time had arrived when by proper legislation arrangements should be made for the rectification, so far as may be possible, of the older subdivisions and the ex- tension to the District line of the avenues and such principal streets as 16th, North Capitol and East Capitol streets. A bill with this end in view was introduced in Congress last session, but no action on it was taken by that body. SEW BRIDGES. It is recommended that a new bridge be built across Rock creek afong the line of Massachu- setts avenue extended and one to replace the old bridge across the Eastern branch known as the Anacostia bi Te is urged that the surveyor’s office be made ® salaried one, and that adequate approprin- tions be made for the care of the invaluable THE AMERICAN NAVY.

A Summary of the Recommendations Made by Secretary Tracy. INCREASE IN THE NUMBER AND CHARACTER OF VESSELS—TRANOFER OF THE REVENUE MARINE GERVICE TO THE NAVY—CHANGES IN OFFICIAL DESIGNATIONS AKD HOW PROMOTIONS SHOULD BE MADE. Secretary Tracy, in his annual report, points to the recent armor trials at Indian Head, Md., as demonstrating the superiority of American armor over that of European manufacture. He concludes that the trial shows that the high-carbon nickel Harveyed plate is the best armor ever subjected to a ballistic test. He gives « summary of the state of the work at the Washington gun foundry, showing an excellent Progress. He states that » trial will shortly be given to a recently improved Gatling gun. Attention is called to the invention of a success- ful smokeless powder during the past year by ‘an officer of the tor lo station. With the success of the Washington foundry in mind the Secretary urges the establishment of an Ordnance factory on the Pacific coast, to be under the joint control of the War and Navy Departments. nd bo: te a. mire aivelciees wee: iuciltes offeret yor pvt of al ages.

Many bills have been proposed, and many reports made to the Commissioners on this subject, and it is hoped that early legislation may be had.” Regarding street railways the Commissioners say: “During the past year the street railways of the city have made rapid progress in chan from the old rail to the improved grooved The Washington and Georgetown [Railroad Company is changing its Pennsylvania avenue and 14th street lines from horse power to cable, the new tracks being paved with sheet asphalt. This greatly improves the appearance of these two highways and also makes it better for ve- hicles. ‘The tearing up of the streets incident to these improvements has caused considerable inconvenience, but the end promises to justify emergencies. He points to the Itata case again asa note of warning, and thus he goos on to recommend certain increases in the navy. He notes that the estimates for the increase of the navy for the coming year amount to $12,300,000, a dcerease of £5,300,000 from the current appropriations, and states that a much larger reduction will take place in the follow- ing year, which will substantially complete all the work im progress under existing authori- zations. He urges that authority be given by Congress this sossion to build two vessels of the Indiana class, which he praises as the highest develop- ment of the day. He also asks for permission to build a large armored cruiser similar to the recently Jaunched New York. He recom- mendes the construction of a torpedo cruiser under an increased limit of cost. For river service on the Asiatic station he wants a small vessel of about 1,209 tons, a specd of seventeen knots and a draft of nine fect, to cost $400,000.

An estimate of €25,000 for continuing the arming of the militia is submitted with the hope that it may be increased.

They urge also, in ac- cordance with Capt. Rosseil’s recommendation, that they be given authority to make regula- tions respecting the width of tires of vehicle: as it is beheved that an unnecessary amount of abrasion of the surface of the asphalt pave- ments is caused by the narrowness of tires. SEWAGE DISPOSAL. Speaking of the subject of sewage disposal, which was treated at some length in Capt. Lusk’s report, printed in Saturday's Stan, the Commissioners say: The Commissioners’ feel it their duty to invite especial attention to the necessity for entering promptly upon the con- struction of an adequate system of sewage dis It has been thoroughly demonstrated FRENCH DYEING, BCOUMING AND DRY CLEAN- tmz batablistunent, 1205 New Lurk ave, ‘of every: ueweriy tio: DVELY AND CALOLINE i 8.

The lower part of Rock creck and the sewer canals are fast developing into nuisances, and the Anacostia river itself must, in a short time, show evidences of pollution from sewage. Since the work of construction will occupy several years the Commissioners believe that the exercise of a wise forethought requires the necessary funds to be provided without delay by the issuance of bonds, or by a loan from the United States, repayable in annual installments, with interest.’ ‘The cstimated cost is $4,000,000. It is believed that life. property and the public health alike demand prompt action in this mat- ter. Capt.

Itisexpected that the royal houses of Portngal and the imperial house of Austria will be represented at the funeral, as well as the deposed Naples bourbons. For the present the remains will rest with those of Dom Pedro's Braganza ancestors, who are interred in Portugal's cupital.

A pathetic scene was witnessed at the big gate leading to the state penitentiary at Frank- fort, Ky., yesterday morning. Josie Roach, a pretty girl, not yet sixteen years old, had been sentenced to serve aterm for horse stealing. Nothing in her mien or attractive features ind: cated that she was a convict, sentenced to serve two yearsat hard labor. Yet that was the crime of which an Ohio county jury had found her guilty on Seturday morning. ‘The girl was not alone in her misfortune, for with her was Elijah Crow, who is to servo two years for the sume offence. ‘The cases a: identical, in that both girland boy stole the same horse. ‘There isan unusual story of ro- mance connected with the youthful convicts. When a mere baby Josie was taken ruthlessly from her home and left among strangers. She does not remember the circumstances, but has since learned that sho was cai ‘away bya roving band of people to whom she had been given.
