Democratic Northwest. [volume] (Napoleon, Ohio) 1869-1894, 1889-01-17

One Of the greatest land sales which ever
took place in Napoleon occurred on Saturday,
when the lots in Sheffeld's Addition were Of
fered at auction. The sale was largely at
tended and the bidding was spirited, every
parcel sold going al or above the appraised
value, and every piece was disposed of.
The result of the sale is boon to Napole-
on, as the property has been tied up and un-
accessible to buyers for a number of years,
being great drawback to the improvement
of the West end of the city, just the place
where men of moderate means wished to To-
cate home. The sale has broken the dead
lock and now il will be but short time be-
fore the property will be dotted with residen-
cee.
The city council should have the streets
opened up Immediately, so that the property
can be made as convenient as possible for
purchasers, and especially for those wishing
to build upon the lots.
The result of the sale is especially crafty
ing to Messrs. Donnelly & Tyler, the attor-
neys, Fred. Aller the administrator, and the
creditors of the estate generally. for the prop
erty sold for thousands above the appraised
value, and every piece sold. The following
