Of the finest companies on the road.
They transacted their business in q
businesslike manner The company

no fakes following them, and they

DUNN'S aREMEMBER. !"
State Auditor and Tracts of Land Sold
Under Recent Forfeiture Sale.

i .
State Auditor Dunn has issued a
circular to county auditors, instruc-
ing them as to how to. treat tracts
of land which were sold at the re-
cent forfeited tax sale for taxes de-
linquent in 1895 and prior years,
when the purchasers refuse to pay
taxes delinquent for years subsequent
to 1896. In his letter Auditor Dunn
say=:
"In many counties in the State, it
is the practice to take only one tax
judgment against real property; sub
sequent taxes, when delinquent are
merely added to and become part
of the original judgment. The re-
cent forfeited tax sale included delin-
quent taxes for 1895 and prior years.
Those tracts sold at the forfeited sale
to an actual purchaser, who has re-
fused or neglected TO pay the subse-
quent taxes (1896, 1897, 1898 and 1899
therefore stand on the records with
out a judgment for the taxes that are
delinquent. The question has arisen
how to treat such tracts to obtain a
judgment for the taxes that are de-
linquent in order that collection can
be enforced. In my opinion, one
judgment should be taken for all the
years that are delinquent.
Remember this circular letter re-
fers only to tracts sold to an, actual
purchaser at the forfeited sale, leav-
ing the 1896 and subsequent taxes
unpaid. All tracts that were bid in
for the state rest upon the judgment
already obtained and are notreferred
to in this connection.
a Remember, also, that the penalty |
Of Is per cent, only for each year
should be added to the taxes, because
begins to run from date of |
entry of judgment and not before. -

NO TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.
Improvement Committee will Call on

Improvement Committee will Call or
Investment Co. for an Accounting.
Since the announcement of the di-
vision of the lots of the Harris addi-
tion as chronicled in The TRIBUNE
last week, public opinion has become
\ thoroughly aroused against the deal.
It is with no feeling Of i'll will
itoward the esteemable gentlemen Of
the Morris Investment Co. that we
last week set forth the facts of the
division and also called attention to
the interests which the public in
general and the Morris Improvement
Committee in particular had in the
matter.
But there are no two sides to the
question. Everyone in Morris knows
the history of the right of way pur-
chase. The property was offered to
the improvement Committee, was
purchased by them and decided to j.
w. Harris, trustee. The gentlemen
who had advanced the money for the
purchase then formed the Morris In
vestment Co., and received a deed of
the property from the trustee with
certain conditions. Those conditions
were briefly that the property should
be held as a trust for the benefit of
the village of Morris, that the
moneies from the sales were to go to i
the reimbursing of the members of
Improvement Association, to the re-
imbursing of the members of the
Morris Investment Co., to the pay
ment of the expenses of administra-
tion, and when all Of these sums were
paid amounting in all to about $l2,
600, the Improvement Committee was
to receive SO per cent Of all the re-
mainder and the Morris Investment
Co. the other so per cent.
The salient point Of the whole mat
ter was that the relation of the Nor
ris Investment Co. to the property
was that Of trustee. The property
was sold to them at ridiculousiy
low rate with the understanding that
the benefits from Its sale we're to ac-
crue to the benefit Of the village OIL
Morris. The profits from the sale OF
the lots had already paid the original
investment, with a margin besides,
SO that previous to the division OF the
lots, the improvement Committee
or in other words the people of Mo-
ris--were entitled to practically one
half of what lots remained unsold.
In other words, the Improvement
COMMITTEES were entitled to every
other unsold lot Of the addition,
They did not get every other lot,
nor every third let, nor anything but
the stretch Of land below the Inter
state Elevator, of which there has not
been single lot sold during all the
time the Investment Go. has held
them.
It is not to the division Of the lots
that the public interposes any paEti-
cular objection. The point is that if
the Investment Co. desired such a
move, the Improvement Committee
should have been notified, and the
two meeting together could have de-
cided on some equitable division.
A member Of the improvement
Committee informs us that the In
yestment Co. will shortly be called on
for an accounting.
