DELINQUENT TAX SALE TO
BE HELD NOVEMBER 10

Sales of property in this borough
on which taxes and assessments re-
main unpaid are announced in the
City Record. The notice is issued
through the Bureau of Assessments
and Arrears, and includes all taxes
up to and including 1908, and all
assessments for Improvements up TO
March %, 1909.
If these are not paid with interest
at z per cent. per annum the prop
erty will be sold at auction at the
offices of the tax department Novem-
Der 13.
A pamphlet describing each sep
arate parcel has been Issued for each
ward and copies of the same may
be had on application to the Bureau
of Assessments and Arrears In the
Borough Hall. This sale Is in ac-
cordance with statute law and the
ample notice given is usually taken
advantage of by taxpayers, so that
at the time of sale the actual num-
bers of tax liens are relatively few
when compared with the number of
parcels on the list.
A tax lien, as Is well known, holds
the title to the property and must
be settled before any conveyance
can be made. 1t is recorded on the
books at the county seat just as an
actual sale would be and takes pre-
cedence of everything else.
