 ghe DeIinQuencies.

Forty-seveu pieces of real estate were yesterday sold at public auction ct the Court House by Assistant Tax CoIIeo. tor Charles B. Teasley. The property was sold for delinquent taxes. and is the last to be sold before July 1. on which date the Tax Collector must set. tie with the State. None of the prop- erty brought more than the average price of a city lot. but this amount more than covered the amount of the taxes which caused the sale.
 Tax Collector George ". Halls said yesterday that thtg years sale exneeds by far any paie which has been made by the ofiice since his coming Into the administration of the offlce. The tax sale is thought to be . reflection of the financial panic of last ian. It Is unusual for any eonsiderahie amount Of property to be sold in Montgomery County for taxes. The fact that for ty-seven lots were sold yesterday caused considerable discussion. Of course the former owners Of the prop erty have not yet lest all claim on the property. It can be recovered in the legal time by payment of all the dues and Interest and this Is expected to Dc done in many instances.
