ment to the section of the city in
which it is located. Work will be

The annual sale of property for de-
linquent taxes which was begun in
the office of County Auditor Scott

old buyers made remarks about his
absence. He purchased the first piece
sold in Hennepin county and attended
every sale after that. This year finds
the smallest list for long time.
