THE TAX SALES.
What District Collector Cook Has 10 Say
Upon the Subject.

What District Collector Cook Has 10 Say
Upon the Subject.
The sale of property advertised on account
OF delinquent taxes was virtually concluded
yesterday, although some few pieces of
property will be disposed of to-day. The
collector has thus ten days within which to
make his report to the recorder of deeds of
the sales made.
"About how much of the property has been
redeemed by the owners 2" asked REPUBLI-
CAN reporter of Collector Cook yesterday.
81 cannot tell exactly, but about S25, 900
should say. Then there is some of the prop
erty in this list upon which exemptions are
claimed such as that owned by the canal
company, some, which it is claimed, is used
for religious purposes, and some such as that
of the Washington Market company, which
is owned by the district, which will amount
altogether to say $4,000. The total amount
in round numbers of unpaid taxes was $l75,-
900, and dcducting these amounts would
leave about $l40.000 due"
4" How much of this amount has been sold
and how much bought in by the district?"
That cannot be accurately ascerGained at
present, but Ipresume about 600 has been
sold to outside parties. Most of these pur-
chases have been made by those who have
equitable claims upon the property, and de-
sire 10 prevent lJs passing lhJo oVher nanuS
and by friends and relations of the owners of
the property. But few purchases have been
made for investment"
How much was purchased by outside par
ties last year ~
mot over $3,OO0 / think the purchases
have been greater this year than for many
years past"
Can any of tho property that has been
bought in by the district be redeemed within
the next ten days?'
"Yes; the owners can retain their property
by paying the tax and penalty with all the
expense of recording within that time"
"The results of payment are gratifying
are they not?"
Decidedly so. The delinquent property
this year is a mere bagatelle compared to tina
of former years"

The True Meaning

Of the Action of the Prudential Commit
 gently.
 The action Of the prudential committee of the Church of the Messiah whereby it rec commended the church to retain Rev. MT. Houghton at kis present salary until the first reverend gentleman would have to consider his connection with the church at an end, has caused no end of talk in the community and enterprising local correspondents have telegraphed the reports, with more or less establishment, to various papers over the country. The facts seem to be tha the church, not being a rich and strong one, during the past few years has been struggling like many another church to pay off debt and during the past year they have raised $500 and are now out of debt. The effort has left them quite poor and they do not feel able to pay the salary Mir. Tough ton wants and can command. MT. Hough. ton knew of this state of affairs and went to the recent church meeting ready with his res ignation, but he was told that under no con- ditions' should he be allowed to resign then. He has had two offers to go elsewhere His congregation and many friends of his both in this State and New York commend his course in preaching about the Rose Ambler murder and the prudential committee, con- sisting of Messrs. J. Fl. Leeds, William H. Andrews, c. B. Bristol Frank Hermance and F. l.. Converse, have expressed their willing ness to sign paper approving his course. Mir. Houghton says he had no idea he would create sensation when he preached the Rose Ambler sermon He did notscourt notoriety, but merely tried to do his duty in humble way. Looking back upon the Stannard and Cramer murders he thought it was time some one should speak, and he was not going to be the man to shrink from what he viewed his duty because such subjects were unusual in the pulpit.
