Soldier Receivers
Fifteen Lots Lost
I'm Tax Lien Case

A pair of secondhand trousers badly
worn st the knees, an Owl lunch
wagon, 9 piano and confectionery
store figured conspicuously in the
troubles cf Frederick ". Wagner, a
soldier at Camp Gordon, Georgia, and
Rudolph Nydlgger, Of 566 Brook Ave
nue, The Bronx, as related by the
latter yesterday to the Mayors Com
mittee on Taxation.
Wagner wrote to the committee
some time ago complaining that
fttoen lots owned by himself, his
brother, Vernon W., and his sister,
Harriet Wagner, of 229 Ovington Ave
nue., Brooklyn. had been sold for taxes
to Nydggcr, who wanted $500 for re-
leasing them.
mlttee. convinced Nathan Hirsch, chair
man, that he, too, had his troubles.
According to his story he was running
night lunch wagon in The Bronx in
1910 when along came q man who said
he was in the real estate business.
The genial stranger offered to swap
thirty-three lots in New Riverhe adj.
Southampton, l.. L., for the lunch
wagon. Nydigger agreed, but shortly
afterward was told of man who had
traded lots in New Riverhead for q
PS VI 'ioueeIo' pldno ana con-
fectionery store. The description Of
the obliging gentleman tailed with
that of the man who had dealt with
Nydlgger. On comparing notes it was
found that eleven of the lots which
Nydigger thought he owned had been
traded to some one else.
Wishing to make sure of at least
these, he obtained tax title. After
telling his story Nydigger offered to
release the fifteen lots to the origin al
owners for sl00 and throw in the
other seven for good measure. Miss
Wagner promptly agreed. although the
Mayors Committee expressed doubt as
to who really owned the extra lots.
