Lewiston&-UnIess Uncle Sam de-
cides to pay his sewer assessment the
city of Lewiston will undertake to sell
the Lewiston postoffice site for delin-
quent taxes. For several weeks the
city officials have been in communica-
tion with the postoffice department,
attempting to collect the overdue as
sessment, and the government has fin
ally issued orders to its attorneys to
resist the efforts of the city.
The city will now treat Uncle Sam
the same as an ordinary property own
err and in case he fails to pay his assess
ment orders will be issued to sell the
lot for taxes. The government owns a
lot on Thirteenth street which it will
improve soon with 800, 900 govern
ment building.
Lewiston-The demand for modern
cottages continues unprecedented,
and almost every real estate firm in
Lewiston has a large waiting list, al

available. Along with the demand for
cottages comes a demand for apart
ments, which shows that the renters
are anxious to rent small apartments
in new buildings, but property owners
seeking investments have 30 far not
seen their way clear to erect this class
of buildings.
In the Weisgerber building, the up
per floor of which is devoted to apart
ments, waiting list is maintained and
it is clearly demonstrated that dwell
ings with heat and janitor service can
be easily rented.
