and on the West by the original land
line. The reason for making this ap-
plication is that the tract of land is
so situated with reference to other
tracts of the same lot that it cannot
be advantageously used by the Guard
ian for the benefit of his ward, and
for the reason that it yields no rents
or profits, and for the further reason
that the income from the property in
its present condition has not been in
the past and will not be sufficient to
pay the taxes.
