q case of considerable importance,
that of james 81. Ranson's executors
against the Charlestown Mining,
Manufacturing and Improvement
Company, was heard, and the sale of
267 lots of the boom land to a syndi-
cate for S13,0 O0 was confirmed. the
money paid into court and will be
turned over to George r. Gather,
of Baltimore, in discharge of a lien
which he held against the land when
it was purchased by the improve
ment company from the late James
ri. Ransom. This remove the last
lien against the land, which has been
a great obstruction and hinderance to
the sale of lots since the development
of that section was begun. Pur-
chasers hesitated to invest in the land
SO long as this lien hung over it. The
new syndicate will at ono put the
lots on the market, and it is expect
ed that considerable development
will be made in that section during
this year.
