of March every year, This year the
legislature enacted q law which does
not take effect until June /, 1899, when
a penalty of per cent. per month in
addition to the interest ct 6 per cent
per annum attaches to the property.
The trustee advertises on June 1 that
he will on July 1 sell all property upon
which taxes are delinquent. In case of
the sale of property for delinquent city

July will be entitled to per cent. in
terest on the amount paid by him, to-
gether with the penalty of 1. per cent.
per month on the amount, the two to-
gether making it equivalent to IS per
