fore the board at this time for

board that in many instances pro-
perty of this nature offered for
sale brot far less than its actual
value, and in many instances much
less than the actual amount of
the county's interest in the pro-
perty because of the imperfection
in the title conveyed, and deeming
that if a better title could be con-
veyed on such property hereafter
to be sold, prices more nearly
commensurate to the value of the
property could be obtained. 1t was
deemed advisable to institute a
court action quoting and confirm
ing title in the county to the more
desirable lots and parcels of land
now county owned. In accordance
Herewith, it is ordered that the

behalf of Benton county, be au-
thorized to institute the property
