Estate Trusts Company, and Mr.. James
G. Young have a large force of clerks
at work preparing maps Of the city prop
erty acquired under the Martin act
which is to be disposed of at a public
sale to be held in the Aldermanic Cham
Der, City Hall. on December u. The re-
suit of the last sale of city property
which was conducted by the Trusts
Company, was so gratifying to the mem
bers of the Finance Committee of the
Board of Aldermen and SO entirely sat
isfactory to Mayor Wanser that these
officials are anxious for Mr.. Stevens to
let the remainder of the city property go
under the hammer as soon as practicable
If it was not for the fact that the law
requires the sale to be Advertised for
six weeks, by December / the city would
not own a single tract or parcel of land
for which any fair price wou be Of
fered.
Mayor Wanser and the other city Of
icials interested in the disposition of
the Martin act property contend that if
is better for the city to secure IS per
cent. of the amount of the tax lien upon
each piece Of property and allow it to
be returned for assessment han to car
ry it along until such time as a purchas-
er can be found who will pay the full
amount of the city's claim.
SUCCESSFUL TACTICS.
At the approaching sale the Trusts
Company will pursue the same skilfnll
tactics as before by issuing descriptive
pamphlets showing the lot and block
number, and the exact location of each
piece to be sold. Some choice parcels
will be sold on December u, and specu-
lators who missed attending the last
sale want to make it a point to be on
hand this time. There will be just as
many bargains as before and perhaps
greater ones Complete and accurate de-
