Given Time to Pay.
The delinquent tax sale has been post
pOned and now taxpayers Will have few
more days of grace. Tax Collector Ros-
borough says the reason this was done was
because the number of delinquents has
been particularly large this year and be-
cause it would have been impossible to
prepare the necessary report to the State
Controller in time on account Of the
large increase Of work in the office. 1t is
required by law that this rer0rt shall be
in before the sale takes place. In addition
to this large part Of the delinquent prop
erty is in Berkeley. "A sale took place
there yesterday and it is thought that
when the owners find their land liable to
be disposed of they will pay up.
On Saturday alone $500 was taken in.
1t was the opinion Of the District Attor-
ney that it would be wiSest to- postpone
the sale TO some day within the next three
weeks allowed by law.
To satisfy the statute requirement that
the sale should commence at the set time,
two parcels of land were sold on Saturday.

quent taxes. knocked them down at 81 Is

ness to meet the delinquency. he was
told that his property had just been sold

extreme, and he hurried off to find the
buyer that ne might repurchase the land.
