The following document was yesterday
evening issued by Mayor Armstrong:
NOTICE.
The city council of Salt Lake city at its
session on the night of the Sd inst, by re-
solution duly passed, determined to give
warranty deeds to those purchasing its
lands at the advertised sale on the 9th inst,
and in accordance Herewith the city attor-
ney was instructed to draft deed with the
ordinary covenants of warranty to be
given those buying said lands. Since that
date the city council of Salt Lake city have
met and ratified the deed prepared, pursu-
ant to that order, and they have been ad-
vised that the deed so drafted fully guaran-
tees to the purchaser return to him of his
money with legal interest in case it is held
by court of competent jurisdiction on
final judgment, that the city had no right
or title to the said lands or that it had no
legal right to sell them. The city is further
advised that it has legal right to give a
deed of warranty in the ordinary form and
that such action is not ultra wires or void.
Having noticed the printed article of Mr..
John H. Linek in the evening papers of the
18th inst, in which he claims certain of the
lots now offered for sale on the 9th inst,
am advised by counsel to say that Mr..
Linck has no right, title or claim to any of
the lands so offered, and that his pretended
claim is without foundation and is utterly
void, and to this effect was the decision of
the district court involving said claim.

Mayor of Salt Lake City.

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Dec. Z, 1889.
Seen in regard to the above last evening,
Mayor Armstrong stated that he presumed
there was another real estate boom on, as
the land jumper was again abroad in the
community. From the mayor it was
learned that a brief session of the city
council was held last evening, and after
consultation with the ablest legal talent on
land matters available, the above notice
was authorized and ordered to be published
1--WE have learned" said his honor, ''of
several feeble attends to depress the sale
of the lots advertised bv the city, and there
is no doubt but this Linck statements an
other attempt to do the same thing-the
feeblest one of the lot. Although the lands
have been advertised for more than a
month and half in all of the daily papers,
Mr. Linck has not seen fit to present his
objection until the last day, and at time
when he doubtless thought his statements
could not be refuted. We are really taking
too much notice of the matter, but we are

don't want any real estate spectators to
jump in at the eleventh hour and beat the
prices town do serve their personal ends.
You may. say in your paper that the city
will give full warranty deed. This,
everyone knows. guarantees the purchaser
in the amount paid and legal interest, be-
sides which the city's title, it is universally
admitted, is as good as the bank
''Will the lots in plat ] be sold on Mon
dayn
"The order of the council was that those
in plat D on the east side of the canon, be
sold first. think that will take the greater
part of the day If deemed advisable a
may be made on the plat ] lots
on Monday"
"And when will the deeds be delivered!"
GAS soon as possible after the sale. At
the time of the bid 10 per cent. of the pur-
chase money will be exacted IN money or
by certified check, and the remainder may
be paid when the deed is executed and de
