II has been found that there are un-

palities running back as far as 1879, In
most cases these drew penalties at the
rate OF IL per cent. a year, resulting in a
total charge at present In many instances
OF more than the actual value OF the prop

doned their property and refused TO pay
anything whatever. IL was impossible
under these conditions for anybody to
clear up the title to the property and

Even II offered for sale under the condl-
tons OF the new tax sale law there would

no one would agree to pay a sum greater
