to Be Made in Manner
of Bidding.
MUCH PROPERTY is LISTED

began today at 10 o'clock at the District
Building, and viii continue daily until
March 10. II viii close at O'Clock of
that date There were 1000 pieces OF
property listed as in arrears, but since
the publication of the list about 1900
have been paid. leaving 10000 items to
be disposed of at the sale
In opening The sale z. c. Davis. Col
lector of Taxes, explained the changes
TO be made in the manner of bidding
under the requirements OF the law of
July l. 1902. The principal change. he
said. was that all surplus bids must be
paid down in cash. the same as the
taxes and expenses. That means that
each bidder must pay the entire sum
BID. and will not be allowed to make the
payment two years hence or when the
tax deed may be issued Another change
was that the money must be paid at
the time of the bid or must be covered
by a blanket deposit made with the
Collector before the sale began.
Mr. Davis said that several persons
had deposited s. 900 each with him to
cover the operations OF the sale for the
first few days. He said he thought it
would expedite matters If all would co
so. This statement fell like a bomb
shell in the ranks OF the purchasers.
and there was an immediate scurry for
blank checks to make the necessary
deposit A few had the money with
them, and paid il over. These we're for
the most part small bidders interested
in a few pieces OF property.
About twenty bidders were present and
there were perhaps fifty onlookers.
When the deposits had been made the
sale started, conducted by c. w. Col
Inns, Assistant Collector. The first item.
part Of lot Is, and improvements in

Rochester, whose interests are looked
after by william II. Manogue; W. NJ.

Owing to the damper put. upon the
high bidding by the new law. the sale
proceeded today in a very tame manner
as compared with former years.
