Contrary to the decisions of our local courts, and probably opposed io the views of the majority of our iawyers, the United States Supreme Court has decided that both general and special beneiits may be assessed by a jury in condemnation pro- ceedings, to pay for damages, and that the general benefits need not be confined to any particular subdivision, or assessment dis- trict. If the jury thinks proper, damages in caze of each highway opened or widened may be charged against every lot in the District of Columbia, however remote; al- though, of course, the nearest lots are sup- Posed to be the most benefited. As stated by Judge Cox in his interesting cpinion dated January 27, 1896, this bene- fit “diffuses itself in every direction until it imperceptibly disappears, like the ripples in a stream caused by a stone thrown into it.” In case of the streets of Washington, however, these “ripples” may be said to be perceptible all over the United States, fer our streets are used, enjoyed and ad- mired by all the millions of citizens who at one time or another are sure to visit their capital. city. So proud are they of the national city no objection would come from them if al the expense of opening the streets were pajd by the general govern- ment, instead of placing the entire burden upon the taxpayers of the District of Co- aa as provided in the act of Maren 2, The general government owns and con- trels the streets of the city proper, and there is every reason for continuing the ownership to the District line in conformi- ty with the plans of L’Enfant, Ellicott and General Washington. The District taxpay- ers alone are not able to improve these new streets as befits the capital of the nation. The necessary taxation would amount to confiscation. If the founders of our city had foreseen its wonderful growth, the streets would have been laid out to the District line, and the Unfted States would have owned all the streets or roads. It is a mere accident, therefore, that the United States does not sustain the same relation to the streets in the county (so caled) as within the city Proper.» The city has long since grown be- yond the imaginary line at Florida avenue. Mount Pleasant, Columbia Heights, Le Droit Park and other places formerly sub- urban are now as much part of the city as Rhode Island avenue. Why should the entire plan of taxation be changed when Florida avenue is crossed? The United States pays half the expenses of maintain- ing T street, yet Maple avenue (which is only an extension of T street and now called by the same name) is to be widened entirely at the expense of District tax- payers. As more than one-half of the Property in Washington belongs to the United States the reason for charging one- half of the expenses to the general govern- ment is apparent to all—even to most of the citizens of darkest Missouri. For mil- itary and other reasons the United States should own and control all of the streets and roads in the District of Columb! In fact, there is a growing sentiment in fa- vor of the ownership and improvemnnt by the United States of all roads through- out the country. In case of land not fronting on any street, or not having sufficient street or road facilities, it is not considered unrea- sonable to deduct from the value of land taken for streets an allowance for the benefits. These special benefits have been declared constitutional, ad if hey are just and reasonable, if the amount assessed for benefits can be correctly estimated, which is almost impossible, ‘The assessment of general benefits has also been declared constitutional. But a law may be constitutional, and yet be burdensome, impracticable and unjust. Un- der this decision of the Supreme Court of May, 1897, every lot in the District of Co- lumbia may have a special assessment im- posed upon it for general benefits resulting from the opening of each street. It is not confined to any one subdivision or one section of the city. There may be hundreds of special assessments on each lot, and they constitute a first Hen, and each one bears interest from the date of judgment of cendemnation. Cases may arise where this wholesale taxation will be confisca- tion. The owner of a small home (already mortgaged, perhaps, for purchase money) may not be able to meet these payments for, alleged benefits thrust upon him. In due time the property will go under the auctioneer’s hammer. This giant octopus of taxation, with arms interlacing and stretching from all parts of the District, may gather into the auctioneer’s hands more property than has gone under on ac- count of “hard times.” Then, again, what jury will be calculate the hundreds of “benefits’ taining to each highway? What mathe- matical prodigy can correctly apportion the multitudinous “benefit: (2) radiating (as it were) from hundreds of these new high- ways? The land owner most remote from these paper highways maynot escape assessments, for the Supreme Court has decided that the benefits are distributed over the entire District of Columbia. The owner of a lot in Georgetown might be assessed to pay for opening a street on Meridian Hill. Such assessments are prohibited by statute in some states. As to the uncertain character of the “benefits” Judge Cox said: “Congress by the act of 1893 authorizes the taking of private property for public use and at- tempts to pay for it partly in benefits to be received in future, and that contingent- ly.” The plans which have been recorded as Provided in the act of March 2, 1893, can- net be changed except by act of Congress. ‘The map of the first section provides for widening Maple avenue (T street), Le Droit Park. This street is paved and handsome- ly improved on both sides. The cost of widening it would be very heavy, and there is no demand for it. The law should be changed so as to prevent the widening of a paved street built up on both sides. un- less by special act of Congress. Le Droit Park is already amply provided with strects. Enough of a thing is enough, and any more mes a positive nuisance. This is true of streets as well as other things. In taking land for this widening Process some lots will be made so small as to be useless. In such case allowance must be made for the value of the entire lot. If you cut the brim from a man’s hat you are liable for the entire hat, not for a few inches of material only, as what re- mains is useless. The principle is exactly the same in case of a lot which is now barely large enough for building purposes. So also, when part of a building is taken, what remains is useless, and the whole must be paid td Senate bill’ No. 2473, introduced July 23, 1897, authorizes the Commissioners to make changes in the plans. This is the bond bill, and some such bill must pass, or the whole plan will fail. Citizens generally are anxious for the success of the street extension scheme, but 1e lerance of opinion is in favor of changes in the law. This is no reflection on "Ycupmit the folowing provosi sul tiogs: First. The Commissiorers should per- mitted, under certain restrictions, to make changes in the maps. ‘The section in the act of March Seeet ees tne ee maocoment be repealed, because unjust and general re me sa & 4 ; : i 5 & ¢ THE WORLD OF SOCIETY Some Items of Interest About Well-Known Washi .
