" reference to section Of this bill, which

has failed to sell for the sum necessary TIC
pay the amount due for taxes, costs, ETC.. then
the tax collector shall readvertise It In the
same manner as provided for In the fret sale
and shall sell the same on the first Saturday
In March, 1882, and 1t shall be sold for what II
will bring In cash. and the title is made to the
purchaser as provided In section q ol
this act.
It may be- safely affirmed that only
n small percentage Of the property
to be offered for sale will sell Tor the
full amount of all the delinquent taxes and
costs. Almost all of the Same property
or more. Ii there be no minimum limit. be.
cause there will be bidders at some price and
the competition between them will make the
property realize something approxlmating
is full value. because the title will be full and
final. But this will be the case only II the
sale be inevitable; that Ia, absolute Mt some
price. But with minimum limit the owner
Of the property can persuade his nelRhhors
and others so that he can retain the posses
sion Of II another year.
The amendment proposed by your COM
mttee delays the final sale to the first Satur-
day In April, 1881. which ts surely time
enough, considering oil delays prior thereto.
| And there ts another strong reason why these
sales should not be further delayed. Il ls
estimated that the delinquent taxes and
| licenses due the State exceed the valid Audi
| tors warrants, outstanding on the first OF
| January, 1890, by at least $4,000 900. This
| Ia sufficient to retire every dollar Of the float
| ing Indebtedness OF the State, including the
certificates of pay Issued to school teachers.
| who are eminently and justly entitled to re-
eeive Il as soon as practicable They will really
be the first recipients and benetlciaries of the
| sales of purchased and forfeited lands. To
delay the compulsory Gales thereof until
March. 1889, will be to delay the payment of
the school teachers till after that Gay. Such
| delay will be to them great hardship.
Second--T above section Ia unconstitu-
tional. The fret clause of the above ordi-
nance reads This right of redemption shall
continue until the first day of January. 1881
la the event the principal of said taxes and
licenses is not paid by said time, the interest,
penalties, costa, fees and charges hereinbe
fore RENTED. there shall revive and attach
to the property upon which the taxes and
then sold In the manner to be provided by
law, aud the title of the purchaser
shall be full and complete" This
ordinance requires the sales to then
made, that IL, soon after January !, 1880. AS u
lawful sale can be made following the adver-
tisement provided by laws, existing ut the
adoption OF the constitution, for forced sales
of lands. These laws provide for thirty days
advertisement.
