assessments and water rents remain un-
paid, as provided for under the Martin
Tax act, has been the theme of property
owners since the yesterdays sales took
place
These properties are put up under the
hammer by the City Collector and dis
posed Of at figures as high above what is
due the city ON adjusted liens and taxes
as they will bring at auction. All over
the amount due the city is deposited in a
separate account for the benefit of the
owner or heirs.
The purchaser holds the property for
six months after notice of sale having
been served upon the owner or supposed
owner. Ii the owner does not make good
the liens held by the city before six
months after such notice has been served,
the purchaser remains in absolute pos
session of the property.
POLITICIANS MAKE PURCHASES.
A number of prominent politicians
were conspicuous purchasers yesterday.
Sheriff Davis, in particular, was observed
to purchase heavily. President
Somers, of the Street and Water Board,
President John Edelstein, of the Finance
Laughlin, and Collector of Personal
Taxes Fred Mersheimer, were also
heavy purchasers. City Collector O'Neill
when asked if the success of the
sale indicated anything IN the line of a
real estate boom said he could give me no
information in that direction. He was
only interested from the standpoint of
tax collections.
The success of the sale, he said, at least
indicated that there was plenty of ready
money lying around waiting for city land
investment. Sheriff Davis said he was
purchasing mainly in the Sixth district
because he thought the Central Elevated
Rapid Transit would boom the value of
property in that section, and Fred Mers-
heimer said he was doing the same
in The Fourth district in anticipation
of rise in value OF property in that sec
tion in consequence of the elevation of
the North Hudson Railway tracks. He
presumed that was what was animating
Mrs Doretta Wallis, whose name also
appears as heavy purchaser in that dis
trict
BIG SUN REALIZED.
Presidence Lawrence, OF the Tax
Board, said the success of the sale at
least shows that people have confidence
in the real estate market of this city.
The sales realized nearly $50, 600.
