auction sale of city property.
The sale is to be conducted under the
direction of Messrs. James S. Bailey,
Henry L. Kellers and Reuben Simpson,
who compose the Finance Committee of
the Board of Finance. This is not a
Martin Act sale. 1t is a sale of property
which the city has acquired through on
payment of taxes, water rents and assess
ments. To every piece to be exposed for
sale the city has acquired perfect title,
and will consequently deliver to every
purchaser a title that is safe, sound and
good. That there will be bargains to
be had is a foregone conclusion, and it is
safe to say that on the day of the sale
there will be present every well known
real estate Spectator in the city. Not
w1thstanding their presence it will be
possible to obtain sites for homes al
prices which will startle home seekers.
That has been the case at every sale,
and there is nothing. real estate dealers
say, to make this sale an exception.
Property of all kinds and descriptions
in all parts of the city will be offered.
There are numerous choice lots, and there
are, of course, some less desirable ones
which, however, have a future in this
growing city. No favoritism will be
shown anyone, and in every instance the
highest bidder will &c. the land. This is
an absolute fact, and the a~uctioneer
wishes it understood. Titles have been
perfected on behalf of the city by the
New Jersey Title Guarantee and Trust
Company, and all purchasers will get
immediate possession and warranty deeds
to the amount of money paid. Auctioneer
Stevens has had prepared at great ex-
pense a map book showing the exact To-
cation of every tract to be sold, the sur
roundings and everything possible which
will aid prospective purchasers in ascer-
tanning exactly what they are getting.
Nothing will be misrepresented and
every lot and parcel will be sold on it's
merits.
The first parcels to be sold are two va
cant lots, 25x50, on the north side of New
ark avenue, between James and Char
lotte avenues. At that point the avenue
has all improvements laid. This fact has
been ascertained by competent agents
sent out to view not only these lots but
all parcels to be sold by Mr.. Stevens.
The lots are No. 8 and 8, in Block GOO,
and are 1890 feet from James avenue.
Trolley cars run by them.
