Washington Real Estate Exchange. re
Gently wrote TO the District Commis-
sioners, making certain requests rela-
tive TO tax sales. It was stated in this
communication that the request was
embedded in formal action by the board
OF governors of the exchange.
The language OF his request was that
the Commissioners should require that
all tax certificates hereafter issued by
the Assessor show on their face all tax
sales of the property involved, the date
of such sale or sales, the amounts sold
for. and the name of the purchaser.
whether they are redeemabie or ire
deemable also that at least sixty days
before it is intended to issue deed
for the property sold. the owner of
record Tor his agent be notified of his
delinquency in order that he may have
an opportunity to redeem it by the pay
ment of the tax and accrued penalties,
the period to be covered by the tax
certificate commencing with the date Of
the act now governing the issuance Of
tax deeds by the Commissioners.
1--WE would also ask" continues Mr.
Mitchell, that in advertising property
for sale, the name ef the owner OF
record be used instead of that of a for
mer owner"
Referred to Mr.. Darneilie.
The matter was referred by the Com
mfssioners to Mr. H. H. Darneille, the
Assessor. who yesterday submitted a re-
port. With reference to the first item
OF the request Mr.. Darneille says:
"The act of Congress approved May
I3, 1902. by authority of which tax GER
tifcates are issued, in part provides:
land it shall be the duty OF said As
SCISSOR. whenever called upon, TO furnish.

"A sale for taxes is. SO far as the Dis
trict of Columbia is concerned. a pay
ment OF such tax and subsequent TO such
sale the tax is not due and unpaid,
and the law does not require lis clta-
tion on tax certificates.
Two years are allowed by law for re-
demption OF property sold at tax sale,
after the expiration OF which time he
purchaser is entitled 10 a deed for the
property so sold.
The reporting of redeemable sales
on tax certificates. while not required
by law, as hereinbefore explained, is
regarded as sufficient OF an accommoda-
tion to those persons procuring certi-
fcates 10 warrant the time and labor
incident to making such reports. 1t has
been for soIne time the custom of this
cffce to report redeemable sales on GER
tifca:es and think this practice should
be continued.

Objection to Change.

! The objections 10 changing this rule
are, in part, az follows:
In order to report irredeemablc sales
/ On tax certificates Il woC!1 lie neces- :
sary in maEy cases TO ascertain the his
| tory of the property in question from
| the original plan of the city TO date. For
| example, n certificate of taxes may be
ordered FOR sublot go, square 176.
Upon examination 1t may be found
that original lot 10, in same square, was
'Cbdiyided into lots 153 to lS4. ana that
/ these lots were again subdvided into
go to 2i5. To report the tax sale on
go. il would be necessary to ascertain,
and make reference TO on certificate.
sales on ali parts OF lots now embraced
in sublot 230.
AT least ore-;hird of the time ex-
| pended in preparation OF tax certificates
would be consumed ir making such cal
culations from the plat books.
Again. Information concerning tax
sales. which ara beyond redemI tiOn, cari
| lie furnished st this Office at any time.
in the very few cases in which 1t is de-
s'rcd: in addition to which full data
concerning tax sales is Of record in the
cffice of the Recorder OF Deeds which
records are always consulted by title
comp ind lawyers examining titles.
companies Sdt1SEeO.
THE title companies have signified
their satisfaction with the present Gus
tom, namely. the reporting OF redeem
able sales cnly, and rs large majority
Of tax certificates are issued to such
companies. the labor OF reporting ire
deemable tax sales would be TO a large
extent wasted.
1T follows that the reporting en- tax
certificates OF :rredeemable sales would
involve the expenditure OF great deal
Of time and labor. and it would be of
small utility OF accommodation
Taking up the second item of the re-
quest. Mr.. Darneille continues:
The law relating to tax sales does
not require notice TO owner of property
prior to execution of deed. Nevertheless
such notice is undoubtedly an accom-
modation in many instances. and this
Office inaugurated last winter the prac-
tice OF sending notice that period for
redemption was about to expire. and
that purchaser would shortly he en-
titled 10 deed, IN all these cases where
the residence. place of business, or To-
cation OF owner vas readily accessible"
report says, in part:
Tie law relating to tax sales does
not provide that property shall be ad
vertised in name OF last owner; strict
construction of such law rather tend
ing to the conclusion that 1t should lie
advertised in name Of owner at time it
became delinquent for tax for which it
is TO be sold.
1T is impossible to always advertise
in name of owner OF record for several
reasons. but this is done so far as it
is reasonably practicable.
"To summarize: In my opinion ire
deemable sales should not be reported
On tax certificates. The other requests
made in this communication are being
and will continue to be com"lied with

circumstances OF each case viii permit"

A QUITTING OF TITLE
How Gaspard Evicted a Trespasser
 and Usurper

There vas an eviction in this city yesterday. For some time an old man by the name of Gaspard, who is chiefly distinguished for a certain laugh and his ejaculation Of Huh, Huh and his itinerary Of the alleys, rather than the streets of Phoenix. has been enjoying the hospitality Cf the Cabinet saloon. There is an unused crap table in the :ialoon which was given GaspIrd rent free to sleep on. The bed clothing con- sists of . couple of sheets. Gaspard has been occupying these apartments for several months. SO long that he had been thinking of filing his deed to the crap table fer record. Yesterday after noon a stranger. sadly under the irtiu- ence Ot liquor, wandered into the Cab inet. He was sleepy, and he was just sober enough to recognize in the sheets on the crap table facilities fo- sleeping. He craWled in and lay dead for two hours. when he WAS resur- rected with suddenness and violence.
 Gas9ard came into the saloon, and Deare Ross told him about the sue oession to the crap table. "Yod'd bet

POLICY FOR FARMERS.
Cotton the Best Crop if Not Over
burdened.

Macon Telegraph.
Hon Harvie Jordan was in the city
Emanuel County, to attend, by request. a
convention Of the farmers of Emanuel.
County. which will be held at swainsboro
today nnt
The object of the convention is to dis
cuss measures that will be of benefit to
the farmers of that county, and to or
ganize an Emanuel County cotton plant
ers' association, as an auxiliary to the
Georgia Cotton Growers Association.
my crops are good, equal to any l
have ever raised. My cotton crop was
very good, and have got 1t stored in
warehouse on my place. There are
four warehouses at Monticello jamb full
az cotton. and every bale of II is owned
by the farmers who raised it-not a dol
lar owed on 1t. In addition to cotton
stored in the warehouses. many farmers
like myself store their cotton at home
When the market price suits them they
will haul 1t in and sell I, as / shall do"
Is Cotton our best crop, provided 1t is
not made to bear the entire burden of
the farm, in that event ii Is not. The
farmer can't eat his cotton II he de-
votes his entire time and effort to raising
nothing but cotton and buying his sup
plies-the things he can in the main pro-
duce on the farm, cotton raising will
prove a losing business. On the other
hand. the farmer that raises his wheat
corn. and meat on his farm, and thus
makes cotton a surplus crop, will find
that he Is engaged in the safest business
in the country. If he s out of debt and
produces his living on the farm. no panic
can ever carry him to lhe wall.
Diversified farming II adopted as the
ruling policy by Georgia farmers, will
assure prosperous conditions in this State
This year our cotton will be worth in the
neighborhood Of 100000. OF this sum
the farmers will have TO pay one-fourtn,
or approximately 10000, 900, for guano.
BY and by. II we do not diversity our
crops more generally the farmers will
pay one-third of the value Of the cotton
crop for guano. The diversification OF the
crops, thereby giving back to the soil
payment in natural enrichment for
what 1t gives-and the raising of corn
and other cereals, and the meat required
to feed the family and help is proper and
necessary as a policy for the farmer TO
adopt, I am glad to note a general awak-
ening on this line among the farmers OF
Georgia"
