cess than was anticipated by any of thu
officials concerned in the disposition OF
the city's useless possessions. Yesterday
Mr.. Stevens sold Isl parcels of land, on
which the city realized about $S1, 600.
Whether In every instance purchasers
paid as much for the land as the city's
claim against it was, cannot be aseer-
tanned at this time. 1t looks, however,
as though the city's claims were a tri1e
In excess of the receipts. This fact does
not figure very materially as the officials
hold that to receive a fair price for the
land is much better than having the city
carry 1t. The fact that the sale is being
made at this time throws all the land
back into the city's ratables. This year
taxes will be imposed upon every tract
sold, and 1t Is expected that the new
holcers will certainly pay all taxes, water
rents and SO on.
BY returning the tracts to the ratables
the city profits not only, by the
receipt of sums due for old taxes.
but also by the assured payment
of taxes in future. In some instances
valuations greater than the amount paid
for the property will be imposed p it.
Mr.. Stevens sold only about one-half
Of the parcels, to be sold, yesterday. For
every tract he has a purchaser. The sale
is to be continued next Wednesday af-
ternoon. The choicest parcels will be
disposed of at that time. Higher prices
will prevail. 1t is expected. On Wednes-
day next the sale will start promptly at
one o'clock.

ers of which were made known in THE
