BUILDING HAS NOT BEEN OVERDONE The Tax for Laying Water Mains Said fo Be Unequal. SOME IMPROVEMENTS | = Although the formal attempt to estab- Ish a lower rate of prices in the building industry, which was contemplated when the conference held last week was called, | failed, still it is maintained that the pres- ent affords favorable opportunities for those who desire to invest their money in im- provements. There is some question in the minds of a few who have giveg the present situation some thought as to whether a market actually exists for additional houses and buildings. The impression which was somewhat general during the latter part of last year that building here had been overdone, still has an influence. A careful survey of the present situation does not result in finding any very substantial foun- dations for such a belief. It is true that there are quite a large number of houses that are unrented and unoccupied. The number, it is gratifying to know, is not so great as it was several months ago, and ir a careful caicuiation was made now the figures which have been generaily Quoted when this subject has been under discussion woud be found to be surprisingly inflated. If, as 1s said, there are so many houses standing idie, and the market for houses to rent and to sell is practically gone, then this condition, it is thought, would make itself manifest in the general tone of the market. In other words, it is thought that a general slump in prices would ensue, and that property would be sacriticed on all sides. ‘That this is not the case and has not been the case is well known to every one who has kept track of the course of the market, followed the record of the auction sales and made inquiry at real estate of- fices for those much sought after, but sel- dom seen prizes, namely, bargains. It is believed that a market does exist, that the town has not been overbuilt, and that the present affords an excellent opportunity for those who desire to make improve- ments. While there is no official schedule of reduced figures offered to prospective builders, still the inducements in that line can, no doubt, be realized equally as weil as if the public meeting had in formal resolution taken action. The Water Main Tax. The growth of the city constantly finds illustration in a variety of ways. Some of them appear to be of minor consequence, but, nevertheless, they have significance. An instance is found in the complaints which are heard from suburban property owners, who assert that the present tax of one and one-quarter cents per square foot for laying new water mains bears unjustly on them. A person is to end think a moment before he can fully realize _ es re such complaint. The as- 01 bs that and sewer facilities are absolute The inequality of the law is said to lie in the fact,ahat it does not conside: the differ- ence between the ordinary city lot and the suburban lot. In the latter cave the ground usually has a depth of 200 fect, sometimes 300 feet. In the former case the average depth is about 100 feet. The assessment of the water main tax on the hasis of the Square foot is therefore said to be unjust, and an effcrt will be made to have the law mendel sc tnat this tax will be on the basis of $1.25 per front foot. The Takoma Town Hall. The enterprisirg citizens of Takoma Park who have undertaken to supply that flour- ishing subu>b with a town hall have made such progress that they have already se- Hotel Watkins, which was recently burn: stood. It is the intention to oor Seed four-story brick building, which, in its ex- terior plans at least, will give the passer by, whether he is moved by electricity or by steam, some idea of the substantial greatness and enterprise of the municipality of Takoma Pa>k. This section of the suburb is now so close- ly connected with the city by means of the electric railroad that it may be considered @ part of the capital city. In fact all that section of the country which is #0 rich in farm lands, and where for substantial citizens of Washington have sought the comfort of homes in the country, has of recent years greatly changed in char. acter. The proximity of a great center o population is being felt, and the flourishing settlements that have sprung up all through this portion of the suburbs and the large additions to the population attest the in- fluence of the growth in the population of the city. ing Office. At the B: The building inspector is looking forward to a lively spring building season. During the winter the building business has been unusually dull. Inspector Entwisle believes the outlook is bright. Condemning Old Buildings. The building insyectors, when not em- ployed in inspecting new buildings, have been actively engaged in condemning old dilapidated buildings. All over the city there are buildings,landmarks of ante bel- lum days, in an advanced stage of decay. Some of them are owned by prominent men | and it has been a difficult matter to have them condemned. But the crusade, begun a fortnight ago, is being actively’ waged and the city is being scoured by the District officials for old dilapidated houses, unfit for habitation, and dangerous to life ‘and limb. In each case the occupant and owner are notified of the action. The former is given thirty days to move, and the latter to have the building taken down immediately. The Letter Fence. The event of the past week was the ac- tion of the building inspector in ordering Mr. L. Z. Leiter to reduce the height of his fence.

In the House yesterday afternoon, after The Star's report closed, Mr. Hitt of Illinois took the floor to discuss the Hawaiian situ- ation. The minority, he said, had not been able to agree to the resolution of the ma- jority, for the reason that {t ignored many things which needed investigation. The finding of the Senate committee which had been investigating the whole matter, and which would be published in a few days, would be far different from the statements which are now so positively asserted. The examination on which these statements were based was conducted on the liae pur- sued by a criminal lawyer, and the state- ments were purely ex parte. If there was any man-unfit to be quoted, | it was the man who had made that so-called investigation. That was the last source to: which we should go for instructions touch- ing the matter of interference. (Applause). The previous speaker had ratled against an- nexation, but how did we know what would be the opinion in the White House next | week? (Laughter and applause). There had been no statement by Mr. Cleveland interference ou the part of foreign ations o1 for America had tiven notice that 7 terference with the Hawaiian Islands would be regarded as an act unfriendly to the United States. He praised the administra- tion of President Dole and its stability, and said that in spite of the efforts of a power- ful government to foment discord, that little government had held its own, and had maintained its place in the family of na- tons. (Applause). No Excuse for Interferecne. There were only two cases where the law of nations permitted one country to inter- fere with another; one was necessary for self-preservation and the other was in the name of humanity, and neither excuse ex- | action of Minister Washburne in recogniz- ing the French republic.

This country had in the eyes of the world, a position as embodiment of justness and ideas.

He replied to the the landing of marines from t was an act of war by sta ders (copies of which he | Specified that they were to for the protection of life and Was it not many times more an act of war to send a minister there with orders to overthrow the existing government and to establish a monarchy? That minister was sent to Hawaii with every expression of friendship and good will to the President, | after which he was to go around that wo- |man, who was seeking to be restored to | ber overturned throne. He was to tell eit af i i her that she was to grant amnesty to all | who had opposed her (which she, of course, would not hesitate to do), then he should go around again to the provisional gov- jernment and ask it to retire (which, of | course, it would do promptly), and then the queen would be restored, and everything “But the best laid plans BASS ng aft agiee.” (Laughter and appleuse on republican side.) ‘The Withheld Correspondence. He became sarcastically sentimental tm |referring to the “beautiful queen,” whom |the President had essayed to restore to ‘her throne, “but when he came to that {woman he found her more fearful than | anything mentioned in Homer.” He referred to the very grave political mistake, which the President had made in withholding |from the public the famous letter of No- vember 16, in which the minister spoke of his visit to the queen and of her determina- [tion to behead all those who had taken |part in the revolution against her. That letter had been concealed a long time, on the ground that it would be not to the public |interest to publish it, and had only been produced In response to resolutions of in- iquiry from the House and Senate. He |thought many men were inclined to judge | Mr. Cleveland more harshly than he de- served on that acco’ But it was a co- lossal blunder, and even afcer he had ree ceived this letter and knew what kind of |a fiend his queen was, he sent out a repetl- | tion of his order to overthrow the goverme | ment and put this wretch in power. | He closed by paying a high tribute to the courage and perseverance of the Amer |icans in Hawali, whose great sin was their | Dilnd love for America, and for free instl- | tutions. “And when ‘the |islands found that the policy out they barricaded their would be easy. | was to be carrie? lhouses and armed their citizens, prepared | to resist to the death an invasion of their freedom and their rights.” (Loud applause |end cheers on the republican side.)
