ELEVEN PROPERTY
OWNERS DELINQUENT

Property owners Of eleven lots on
Beretahia street, between Punshou and
Alapia Streets, are delinquent in tho
payment of the instalments due on the
assessments for improvementa and it
is presumed they are Withholding their
money until such time as the L. L.
McCandless injunction suit against
assessments being levied on his prop
erty is settled. H&
The McCahdless property is situate
on Beretania Street hut not In the
same section of the street as the eleven
lots which are delinquent.
On the eleven lots little more than
$4,000 is delinquent, and the owners are
evidently working on the assumption
that for their delinquency they are
being pehalized one percent per month
for the monthly instnlments due, where
as according TO the explanation given
saturday by the city attorneys Office,
the Delinquent property owners are
assessed at the rlte OF one percent on
the total unpaid amount.
