so PROPERTIES
ARE SOLD FOR
UNPAID TAXES
FOrty-iWO Of Them Go 10 a New
ark Lawyer : Twelve Are
Bought in By City.
All But 0na Property Bought BY
CahilI We're Sold IN Absolute
Title, While One is for Twenty
Years-cash Was Paid.

Sixty properties we're sold by Col
lector Richard r. White in city hall
at 10 O'Clock this morning for taxes
amounting to $2,261.94.
Forty-two places were purchased
by Lawyer John Francis Cahill, of
Newark, in the name of Margaret
Fitzsimmons, Room GIG, Prudential
building. 500 Broad street, Newark.
Mr.. Cahill, who makes business
of purchasing properties at tax sales,
paid S499.77 in cash In all.
Jacob P. Goldsmith, of this city,
purchased four properties for taxes
amounting to $39.46, and Joseph ".
Stumps bought two for $68.82.
Twelve large properties on which
the taxes were large were purchased
by the city, as Mr.. Cahill would not
bid on any over $50. The total
amount of the city's purchase was
$1,653.S9.
Last year forty-nine properties
were sold for taxes and in view of
the recent hard times the increase
of eleven is very small. When the
delinqnents were first advertised
this year there were over 800 on the
list, but between that time and to-
day all but sixty property-owners
paid their Indebtedness. The sale
was postponed q number of times by
Mr.. White in order to give the de-
linQuents little more time to pay
up.
Last year Mr.. Cahill bought in a
number of properties in the name of
his wife, Florence e. Cahill, and he
remarked this morning that Margar-
ct Fitzsimmons was also a member
of his family. Mr.. Cahill made the
trip here this morning in large au-
tomobile, accompanied by his wife
and daughter.
One of the rules of the sale was
that cash must be paid Immediately
for the purchases. Mr.. Goldsmith
wanted to give Mr.. White a check and
argued the matter. Mr.. White fin
ally allowed him time to go to the
bank and get the necessary money.
All of Mr.. Cahill's purchases but
one were bid on fees for absolute
title. The other was for twenty
years. The city sells the properties
to a bidder for the shortest amount
of time and, with the exception of
the twenty-year purchase, any of the
property-owners may redeem their
lands from Mr.. Cahill within two
years by paying him two fees amount
ing to about $35 and interest at the
rate of IL per cent. on the taxes. The
fees and interest are allowed the pur-
chaser by law.
The city collector is allowed ten
days In which to make out the cer-
tificates of the sales.
