The sale Of city property was finished
yesterday afternoon. To the officials in
terested 1t was satisfactory from every
point Of view, and upon President Ste
yens, of the Real Estate Trusts Com
pany, they have bestowed their apprecia-
ton. They say he exercised economy.
but at the same time made complete ar
rangenents and succeeded in disposing
OF every tract to which the city ACQUIRED
title for the purpose Of selling.
The total amount realized was 4o.4ss.
which shows a loss of about SO per cent.
to the city. But it must be remembered
that in addition to having the treasury
increased by nearly $50. 600. about 27S tracts
OF land are returned to the ratables for
taxation. The loss would not have been
SO great had 1t not been for the small
amount realized on the famous old Bulls
Head Hotel property.
On this property, which consisted of A
ramshackle building and seven. lots. the
city's lien aggregated 50, 900. Less than
5000 was realized.
The old hosiery has passed into tn.
hands of John Hopkins. With the hotel
ne bought lots "a. 9b. Sc and Cd, for which
he paid $1,275. Lots 9e, Of and sg went to
Samuel McBurney for $3.50.
The old hotel building, which has been
the scene of many social events years
ago, dog. prize and cock fights of recent
years, Is to be torn down by the new
owner. This will remove a familiar land
mark.
