dition. in the inspectors Judgment, sent
back the notice with a letter TO the effect
that the property did not pay and no
purchaser could be found, SO the repairs
would have TO be made by the inspector

II the matter is allowed to 60 by de-
fault. the owner viii probably be sum
moned to court and fined, and ordered TO
