amount of real estate actually sold in
Washington Ward during the above
period of this year Will aggregate close
on to 100000. While the record up to
April 1s only indicated actual sales
to the amount of $685. a large
amount of property was actually sold
two and In some instances three and
four times, while the records only in
dictate one transfer. Then again a
large amount of property was sold dur
ing the above period deeds for which
