Novel Method Of
City To Aid In
Housing Its People

Increasing property values. the de-
mand fer vacant land with an unpre-
csdented salea record and present
building activity has caused tho nnan-
ce commissioners OF Paterson, n j..
{. .ake up The sale of city owned
property which has come into its pc-
session through non-poyment OF taxes
and will probably place 1t in the hands
Of real estate dealers for disposal on
a commission basis
Paterson ownes sorrc desirable pie
ces of property in certain parts of the
city, and Tax Receiver Edward
Acorn has completed a list of forty
plots which the commissioners will
sell. With new buildings on these
properties they win become a source
OF revenue. This together with the
fact that the taxes and assessments
levied against them cannot be satis-
ned has led the finance commission
to decide uron general sale.

SOUTH SEA ISLAND
PEOPLE SUPERIOR"
TO THE WHITE MAN

Tahiti, Papeete, June 11.-(By
Mail:o-The traveller who ome to
the South Sea Islands expecting to
find the Inhabitants eager to ac-
knowledge the superiority OF the white
man and yearning to do him honor is
likely to be disappointed.
Because these islands from early
days have been the haunts Of some Of
the most picturesque Of the worlds
flotsam and jetsam, the brown native
has acquired education in the APP
praisal of character. Before the
traveller has been in Papeete "a
hours usually he has been noted and
his character. station in life and pos
sible intentions have been analysed.
White residents understanding the
Tahitian language derive no little
amusement from listening to the dis
cussions of the natives, which indicate
that the brown men. secretly in their
hearts. consider themselves superior
to tho Europeans. The newcomer
must prove his quality and show evil
dcnces of good breeding before he
can gain the esteem of the populace.
