Cancellation Asked.

Barnard & Johnson attorneys for Dam
lei Hardy, have requested of the Commits
sioners the cancellation of a tax sale of the
latter's property to c. H. Wiltsie. Acting
Assessor E. w. w. Griffin states that the
claim that this sale should be Cancelled
for the reason that the property has been
in litigation since 1892 comes too late, as
the parties interested could have protected
the property by giving notice to the tax
office prior to July 10, 1893, and for the
further reason that Mr.. Wiltsie has COM
piled with the law in paying all taxes and
the deed should issue to him as a matter of
course. 1t is recommended that the re-
quest be not granted. Mr.. Wilts'e paid a
consideration of $159.9O for the property

Real Estate and Rents
0'NEILL'S BULLETIN.

I suppose you occasionally take out your handbook and look at Nit. It shows you have $500 to the good, and at the end of the year 1t increases $20, thus you have $520. Now suppose you take that $500 and buy two-tenement house have on West Farm street, which you can get for $500 down, the balance to remain on mortgage. Which would you rather have, that $20 in the bank on top of your $500, or would you rather have house and rent free for year instead? The question is, $20 profit with your money in the bank, or $1SO with your money in house. Fifteen dollars month for twelve months equals $1sO. $20 or $1S0. 1t is up to you to choose. These figures are plain and cannot be disputed.

IN THE ITALIAN QUARTER.
It Is Busy, Hustling Community An
 By Itself.

Some evening when you find it rath. CT dull about the center and want to see some new phases of life in Water. bury, take stroll through Canal and Cnatheld streets and observe how the residents of these places while away lnelr time from the moment they get through with the evening meal until they retire for the night. One does not reach over few hundred feet from Grand street until he begins to feel the changed surroundings. Everything De hears and sees is suggestive of the presence Of the sons of sunny Italy and tnelr children. No matter how long he may remain in the district, how young or old the person that utters a word. 1t IS invariably in the Italian tongue. The tots that congregate on the streets ana cut up all kinds of capers rarely utter 8 sentence in English. and the men who sit around the door steps and smoke and talk never think of such q thing as trying to converse in any tongue than their own. The place is well supplied with stores and the pro- prietors take no stock in the early clos ing movement. They do business on the plan of go as you please, and don't appear to care picayune who likes their gait. The women folks are aI. ways on the go. If they are not run nlng around in search of a lost child. they are baking, sewing, shopping or engaged at something else pertaining to their household duties. The bend in the road on ChatfieId street is a kind or athletic field for all the sporting fra. ternity, the electric light placed there snort time ago giving the crowd an opportunity to indulge in various kinda or native sports which are often kept up until midnight. Tn some instances taDies and chairs are set out in the yards and the folks sit around and in- uulge In a game of cards. They talk With vehemence which would lead a stranger to conclude that a, row was brewing at every turn of the road, but considering their numbers and the ex- citing games they keep up, fights are or rare occurrence. and once a fellow gets the name of being a scrapper he hnds it pretty hard to secure a seat at the festive board at any of the family meetings. They never meddle with
 visitors provided they mind their own
 business, but once in a while a fellow looks at you from the card table OF bowling alley with great scrutiny. then gesticulates and points you out to his comrades, evidently telling them to have look, too, and again turns his attention to his cards after making some remark which one usually gus. poets to mean something like "Rub. ber."
