Many Acres Of Land fn nfnrauctss

A peculiar situation with respect to
delinquent tax lands exists in Mar
Quette County. Detroit dispatch to
the New York Herald says. There are
very large tracts which properly be
long to the commonwealth. yet no
part OF them is included In the pub
lie domain.
No lands delinquent for taxes In
this county have been formally decided
TO the State since 1854. In conse-
Quence the county treasurer's Office is
numbered up with large number Of
delinquent land descriptions. on some
OF witch taxes have not been paid
since 1881. All these descriptions are
offered for sale each year. but no buy
ers have been forthcoming. and not
infreQuently the total taxes TOW
charged against the descriptions run
into the thousands Of dollars
There are 1000 descriptions delin-
quent for taxes on record in the treas
urer's Office. OF which SOS descriptions
became delinquent prior to 1906 and
could be decided to the State. These
descriptions win probably average
eighty acres each. which means that
there are In the neighborhood Of
$4,000 acres In this county which are
properly part Of the public domain.
