Dear Sir
l take this way to advise every
property holder Of 1904 colony,
that the sales of lots for special
street tax. imposed by Council,
since January 1907, arc unconsti-
tutional, therefore illegal; and all
deeds given by these officers, are
void, and consequently they can
redeem them. The last sale adver.
tised of about 400 lots and two
five acre tracts unknown owners
were to be sold for advalorem tax,
ranging from 5 cts to S1.00 this
tax must be paid, and they can
now be redeemed by paying the
taxes.
The Mayor and Editor of Gazette

City Clerk, and T. \. Carmichael
Street Com. and Marshal the last
named officer drawing $4,000 q
month salary, have bid in the ma-
jority of these lots, which was lille
gal; have given deeds with adj
ditional cost of over 5000 beside
the taxes; this last sale was enjoin-
ed by the court, and proper ty
holders can redeem their lots by
paying advalorem tax. Col. Robt.
L. Berner had this in charge and
one evening gave the people q
