The result of this assessment is required to be made to this office on or before the first Monday of January, 1890, and from t to the first Montay of the following June an opportunity will be af- ferded to all parties concerned to have a full hearing of such complaints as may be intrustins ¥ LTRUE e, right-priced : z gr ts Printing. »«« firs N.

It is gratifying to note the general ex- pressions of approval concerning the last ment, and I doubt not the next will even more satisfactory, as the gentlemen composing the boari have had special ep- portunities of gaining enlarged experience, and can more readily discover any inequal- ities that may now exist in the values of ground and improvemerts. The Clerical Force. In my estimates for the coming fiscal year a recommendation is made for one of my assistants to be designated “first as- sistant assessor,” at an annual salary of 2,000, who shall, in the absence of the as- sessor, perform ali the duties now devolv- ing upon that officer. I consider this vosi- tion essentially important to the proper ad- ministration of this office, and trust the Commissioners will find it consistent to ir approval to this, and also a few slight increases in the salaries of the force, and in this connection it gives me great pleasure to testify to the efficiency of the entire list of employes, = practical experience and expert knowledge in the various details so neces- sary for the proper execution of their re- snonsible duties. A recommendation is submitted for an addition to the clerical force of two “‘trans- fer clerks,” whose duty would be the copy . transferring and recording of convey- of property as they are daily re- ed in the office of the recorder of deeds, d would be cf special advantage in mak- ing out tax bills, and avoid much less of time in searching for the names of prop- erty owners. These recorcs being kept up to date would also be cf great service to the other offices in levying special, water main and other assessments. This work could only be done by rellable clerks, who should ha a krowledge of deeds, titles and a famili: ity with the records, nct only in the office of the recorder of deeds, but also of those in the office of the vezister of wills and the clerk of the court, so that there may be no question as to the ownership or correct hame for a: ssment purposes. The plan briefly outlined here will be a marked impro: nt over the present sys- tem, and is worthy of most favorable con- sideration. Care of Records. In the basement annex of the office there are about 500 volumes of valuabie records, piled on the floor and corrers of the room for the want of shelves to properly ar- range and classify them. Many of them be- ing needed for daily reference, great an- noyance is caused this office, as alSo the lawyers and others having occasion to use them. A lack of funds has prevented a remedy for this deplorable condition. On the main floor, the necessity for more room is apparent in order to facilitate the trans- action of public business, and it is in con- templation to make such changes in the counter that will give more room and ex- pedite the work of the clerks. These much needed improvements, it is estimated, will involve an expenditure ot about $500, and I trust that an item to that effect will be recommended for inser- tion in the next appropriation bill. Numerical Books. The act of March 3, 1807, appropriated $1,946 for reproducing, by photolithography the numerical books of the city of Wash- ington and the county, which are em- braced in four volumes, aggregating 1,845 pages of closely written matter. A con- tract was made with W. E. Stockett & Co. of this city, the lowest bidders, under the terms of which twelve sets, in forty- eight bound volumes, were required to be delivered to the District. This has been done. These books are valuable and important records, containing a list and descript‘on of all the various pieces of real estate in the District, by lots, front feet, square feet, value of the land and improvements and the owners’ names up to the latest e possible. Several of the other offices ave been furnished copies and these will afford them better facilities for the dispatch 16 | of busine: : Cancellation of Taxen. 5 | _T again call atteaticn to an essential fault ————— 4 4 ICASTORIA 4 FOR RENT 4 ror bos $ FOR 4 ° | Infants and Children. a fe 2 SEE THAT THE FAaC-sIMILB : , Pr i ce - SIGNATURE OF 3 6 :}Chas.

Under the provisicns of the act approved March 19, 1800, preperty which has once been advertised for non-payment of taxes cannot be again advertised for the same tax, and consequently when a party other than the District is the purchaser the certificate of sale issued by the Commis- sioners is for the tax of one year only, although twenty years and more of arrears may be due and unpaid at the time. There is also a peremptory requirement in the law that at the expiration of two years from the date of the sale the Com- missioners mvst, on demand of the owner of the tax-sale certificate issue a deed for the property, without providing as a condi- ticn precedent to such deed that all over- taxes and assessments other than those involved in such tax-sale certificate shall also have been paid. Under a decision of the Supreme Court ef our District in the case of John H. Brewer agt. the District of Columbia et al., Equity No. 0513, decided November 1, 1886 G Mackey’s Reports, p. 274 et seq.), a deed of property made in pursuance of a sale for arrears of taxes for any certain year passes the property involved to the purchaser at such sale, discharged of the lens of all taxes and assessments remain- ing due and unpaid at the time of sale, so far as the District is concerned. As a tax deed thus carries with it a clear title against any claim of the District for taxes due prior to its issue, it is a convenient agency of fcequent resort for the evasion of the payment of overdue assessments and taxes. As the full force and effect of this de- cision {s becoming better known, many are taking advantage of {t, and instead of paying their taxes promptly are letting the various payments go by default, look- ing forward to the fact that each year only adds to the amount to be subsequently canceled, and thereby adding additional burdens of expense upon the prompt tax- payer. Bill Pending. There is a bill now pending on the Senate calendar (Senate No. 916), having received the approval of the District committees in both hovses, which was carefully revised by the attorney for the District, the col- lector of taxes and myself, and ts calcu- lated to remedy the glaring defects in our present law. I invite special attention to this bill and earnestly urge the support of the Commissioners for its early passage at the coming session of Congress. Licenses. During the year ended June 30, 1807, 3,736 licenses were issued, including 546 bar room, 147, wholesale liquor and 75 engineer lcenses. There has been certified to the collector of taxes 777 certificates for mis- cellaneous receipts. The total amount col- lected was $342,704.89, credited as follows: Amount. Apothecarles.

Net decrease. Equity in Taxation. Last year I called attention to the neces- sity of lezislation for license revenue. We are nearing the close of the century, and ere the dawning of another I hope that cer- tain obsolete laws and methods of taxation now in force will be matters of the past. Our citizens pay taxes cheerfully, but the duty would be a greater ‘pleasure could they know the burden was equitably dis- tributed. There are hundreds who do busi- ness without license, whose claims for ex- emption are no greater than those who are taxed. We need a readjustment of our license laws in accordance with modern methods and conditions, It is the intention of tiis office to contribute to that end, by the submission of a bill for the recommen- dation of the Commissioners to Congress. Revenue From Banks and Bankers. The adoption of the national banking system by nearly all of our local banks has reduced the revenue from this source to a véry small sum. Riggs National was the last of our old established banks sub- Ject to a Mcense tax to adopt it. Traffic in Liquors. The receipts from this source still con- tinue to decrease, caused by a reduction in the number of licenses granted. Especially is this true of wholesale dealers. ‘Thirty- two bar room and eight wholesale liquor dealers’ applications were rejected by the excise board. I can but repeat the regrets expressed In my last report,ithat brew and distillers, and the agents who repr them, are by authority of law 7 to do business in the District of Columbia without contributing a penny to Its licease revenues, Regulation of Diliara Tables. I am pleased to note that the last Con- gress passed an act for the regulation of 1 pool tables. Owing to the date age most places were then al- ready licensed. It will therefore 5 ally go into operation the coming 15 vember. a is Hacks, Cabs and Vebictes. Five hundred and sixty-one vehicles were licensed the past year, divided as follows, : umbered hacks, omnibuses and two- ehicles, L4N; numbered cabs, coupes, carriages and one-horse vehicles, 413. Total, Street Rallway Taxes in Arrears. Until the law taxing street railways using horses as a motive power is repealed, 1 deem It my duty to cadl attention each year to the failure of the companies to pay the license tax imposed. * Insurance. Two hundred and twenty insurance com- panies, or their agents, have been licensed, as follows: Fire insurance companies, 124; life insurance companies, 62; life, casualty and accident insurance companies, 31; live stock, 2; burglary insurance company, 1. Total, 220. “In the discussion of the requirements of life insurance, language cannot be too em- phatic in statement that until laws are and Pool or “passed compelling companies to set aside a svflicient portion of their earnings to be preserved intact under all circumstan: for the pretection of their policy holders, there will be failures. There must be a limit to the ability of an insurance com- pany or association to satisfy legitimate claims, unless its membership is a paying one at living rates. Good insurance, like ary other commodity. requires and com- mands a fair price. Companies md exist for a time on cheap premium rates, but it is in deflance of sound business principles, and the result, in the end, must be disas- er. “At the last session of Congress a bill was introduced providing new insurance laws for the District, but for lack of time, it was not considered. On the 3d of March, 1897, a bill was passed. It was entitled ‘Ay act regulating fraternal beneficial associa- tions in the District of Columbia.’ It made, however, no appropriation for the Purpose of carrying its requirements into effect. It is herewith appended.” ee CONDENSED LOCALS. Judge Kimball today fined Aloystus Br , 's ‘O $15 for disorderly conduct last hight. Jackson Collins, George J. Lon .

DI NUNZIO ON TRIAL| Hearing in the Case of Alleged Crim- inal Assault. DORA AY, VICTIM, TELLS HER STORY The Defendant Alleges Innocence and Charges Conspiracy. THE EVIDENCE —__+ SUBMITTED Bernandino ¢{ Nunzio, the Italian music teacher who is chargid with having crimi- nally assauited Dora Ax, a little eght-year- old Italian child, the daughter of his land- lord, the 11th of last month, was placed on trial befcre Judge Bradley in Criminal Court 2 this morning. The prisore:, an intelligent and we'!l-ap- pearing man of aout thirty-five years of age, was defended by Mr. J. McD. Carrin; ton, Assistant District Attorneys Baker and Laskey represesting the governmet. Mr. Baker, explaining that much of the testi- mony will be in Italian, Angelo Urcinolo, a young Italian, educated in the District public schools, was, at his * suggestion, swern as an interpreter, the prisoner also being in need of an interpreter, as his knowledge of the English language is im- perfect. 7 Jury Sworn. Mr. Carrington offering no objection to the first twelve talesmen called into the jury box, they were sworn as the jury when Mr. Laskey explained to them that | the government expected to preve that Di Nunzio lived at the home of the child's parents, on Brightwood avenue; that on on ke called the girl to nd that when she ca’ tnreat- ening to kill her if she made any out or told any one of what occurred. Di Laskey, fel to Connecticut, e : ys later. On behalf of the prisoner, Mr. Carringt stated that he would show that the a: sault never occurred, and that the accu tion was but a part of a scheme devised 1 the child’s parents to revenge themselve bring him water, ried it to his room he assaulted he against the defendent for some fancied wreng. The defendent, Mr. Carrington said, did not flee, merely Koing to Balti- more and then to Connecticut to visit hi wife, and that he voluntarily returned here for trial. The First Witnes: The little girl the first witness, and she told her story in a rather bold wa: and good lish, but, upon cross examina- tion, said to Mr. Carrington that the p: oner remained with her for an hour. aiso stated to Mr. Carrington that there had previou been trouble between her parents and Di Nunzio, and that they had threatened to fix kim. the child stated that s- She Di Nunzio had hi Vinze: when, noticing that she questioned her, and cused the prisoner of havin: ulted her just a week before. that Di Nunzio den the aceu Dr. Cha: Cald ed to exam- ining the girl, but found ence of a it naving been completed, although there might have been a partial commis- sion of a criminal assault. Asked for a Verdict. Guisseppe Perrone, associated with the defendant as a musician, testified that Di Nunzio played in disreputable houses. That closed the government's case, and Mr. Carrington asked Judge Bradley to di- rect a verdict of not guilty, on the ground that the girl's story was not only too im- probable to sustain a verdict of guilty, but that it had not been corroborated. ' The court denied the motion, however, and then Mr. Carrington called several Italians for the purpose cf showing that the defendant enjoys a good character. Among them was Celso C. Moreno. The prisoner also testified, denying the charge, and stating that he knows abso- lutely nothing cf the affair save what he learned from the indictment es WANTS THE CHARGES. Writes to Printer. E. W. Oyster, who was lateiy removed from his pcsition as chief of division in the government printing office, has written another letter to Public Printer Palmer, asking that a copy of charges, etc., against him be furnished him, in accordance with the ex tive order bearing cn removals. Mr. Oyster's letter follows: “Referring to my Titer of-the 9th in- stant, I desire to cail your attention to the fact thet I have as yet received no reply thereto, and respectfully request to be in- formed, at your earliest convenience, whether or rct my request for a copy of any and all charges and_ specifications which may have been filed against me, together with the names of my accusers, will be granted at an carly day. “Previous te final action, under the ex- ecutive order of July 27, 1897, I was cleari entitled to a copy of all charges and speci- fications, if there were any against me, and a reasonable time to make defense. “I inclose for ycur information cop; of Treasury Department circular No. 122, ‘providing for the enforcement of the pro- visions of executive order of July 1897, as to removals from the classied servic “I ask for justice, for the same trea ment accorded to employes in the executive departments under similar circumstances— a copy of all charges and specifications, the names of my accusers, and a full and fair opvorturity to defehd myself in writ- ing, so that my defense may become a part of the official record. “Anonymous statements, at least so far us Ue accused is concerned, are evidently not such charges as are coniemplated by the executive order above referred to.” Ses THE CITY'S WATER SERVICE. Mr. Oyster the Public ‘Telephone Line to Great Falls Under Way. According to Captain Guillard, the officer in charge of the Washington aqueduct, the water served to the residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia was clear during twen- ty-four days of September, slightly turbid for two days, turbid for two days and very turbid for two days of the same month. Current meter observations were taken September 24 in the purt cf the conduit between the receiving and distributing reservoir. The consumption and waste of water for the twenty-four hours ended at 11 a.m. September 12 was measured and amounted to 48,722,354 gallons. The proposed telephone line between Washingten and Great Falls is under way. The pees line has been located and 394 poles already erected. Captain Gaillard says that the work has been con- siderably delayed by the failure of the contracior to provide poles as fast as need- ed, but in spite of these delays it is be- lieved the line will be entirely completed during the present month. a Troops at an Unveiling. By authority of the Secretary of War, Gen. Merritt, commanding the department of the east, has ordered a large detachment of troops to participate in the ceremonies incident to the unyeiling by the Sons of the Revolution of a bronze tablet in com- memoration of the battle of Harlem Heights in the grounds of Columbia Uni- versity, in New York city, next Saturday. ‘The troops ordered out are: The band, light battery and three foot batteries from Fort Hamilton; three foot batteries from Fort Wadsworth, and two companies of infantry from Fort Columous.
