ance with the resolution OF Council passed
April l3, lSSl, the eastern and western halves
OF lot % Brown ward, with the improvements:
that sad property was knocked down for the

lily. In view OF the fact your committee re-
commend that said property be exposed for

ton heretofore passed, and that the purchaser
or purchasers be required to deposit 81 500 in

From this point on the reader who may take
the trouble to consider this tedious eXplana-
the history of this or any other city. viii have
to draw on the Imagination in order to con-
template how such state of things az the
record will disclose could have occurred in a
community where exist loud pretensions to
respectability and fair dealing. The difficulty
of knitting together in comprehensive and
condensed form the real facts Will be appa-
rent to the minds of my fellow citizens, when
the disagreeableness of referring. in a public
manner through the medium of public Jour
nal, to the parties who perpetrated a worse
than questionable outrage on my rights, re-
suIting in incalculable ruin to my every in
terest, and bringing upon my children of ten
der years hardships am unwilling to refer
to, for to do so | would have To pluck from the
heart and give to the public a state of things
too painful, and which a man of honor must
prefer to take with him to the grave.

tiOn is signed without my knowledge or con-
sent, which fact / have on more than one oc-
casiOn brought to the attention OF the present
Council, 1t Is made to appear that | applied
for the sale, and from that and other facts
cited can be learned the truth of what | will
continue to assert, without fear of successful
contradiction, that the corporation Of this city
did not contemplate re-entry or the sale
OF my property, except on conditions
agreed upon with me by the
MaVOr and Aldermen and the citv,s LEGAL
adviser. / have referred 10 the condition ~
my health about this time. which was in a
precarOus condition. 1t would be however
even if In good health, impossible for me to
anticipate that the correspondence alleged to
have passed between the Chairman of Public
sales and Cltv Lots and the CORPORATION Conn
sci could have taken place with q view to
creating special conditions for the sale of nv
property, some of which appear i'm the
resolution just read. and others further on in
this communication, and which are worthy the
consideration of all who respect fair dealing
They Will be readily understood as Of char
acter never before known or made Dublic ON
the sale Of either public or private propertv
Even II the correspondence had seen the light
of day was too unwell to give 1t the slightest
consideration. Nothing short of inspiration
could have enabled me to realize what was
going on in reference to a matter that shOuld
ia my opinion, be conducted as agreed upon.
i challenge any one IN authority at the time
over the financial affairs of this city or any
person now in Office to prove that the propertv
owed half the amount specified in the reso-
luton OF SAFE. q Idcl nave shown by a state
ment from the Ireasurer's books. over the
signature of the present City Treasurer and
published in the MORNING News of a recent
date.
The following resolution represents the
property as having been exposed for sale at
the court house in accordance with the reso-
luton of Council passed April l3, 1881. sub
nit that it VIII not appear that il was offered
as the resolution plainly specifies. for il will
be remembered the east and west halves were
TO be sold separately. and If not so intended
why was itso published and exactly as agreed
