sale has already been held and more
are probable.
Both Councilmen Wallace and Drom-

City Attorney Leslie r. Hewitt has
explained that the lots always bring
more than the amount of accumulated
costs, and as soon as they are sold
again they at once go back on the as
sessment rolls and bring in the usual
annual tax to the city, which is inter-
rupted while the city holds the title.
