year 1944-45.
Samuel j. Kidd of the delinquent
tax section of the Office of collector
of taxes said about $500 properties
with unpaid taxes were being offered
for sale but only 1,500 are expected
to be bought up by investors. The
rest, it was explained, are too long
delinquent in taxes to interest the
buyers and have been offered for
sale year after year without pur-
chase.
Holders of the tax certificates are
entitled to l per cent a month in

If the certificate is not redeemed

apply for deed to the property.
When this step is taken, however,
any remaining outstanding taxes will
have to be paid up to the District.

Falls Church Resident
Sues Army Engineers

A suit for S3,250 was filed yester-
day in Federal Court at Alexandria
by Ernest A. Kendrick, 300 West
Great Falls street, Falls Church, for
the loss of boat that was allegedly
destroyed by Army engineers.
Papers in the suit state that Mr..
Hendricks cabin cruiser, the Shan
gri-la," valued at SO 500, was moored
in the river above the Key Bridge
and on October 16, 1912, was swept
down stream and lodged against the
southern abutment of the temporary
Highway Bridge. constructed and
maintained by the Army District
engineers and extending into Vir-
ginia along the prolongation of
Fourteenth street.
The boat became lodged against
the abutment and Army officers de-
MED Mr.. Kendrick permission to
remove or to secure it, he claimed
adding that he was only permitted
aboard the craft long enough to
remove personal belongings.
Shortly thereafter the Army de-
termined that the boat was a men
ace and removed it themselves, de-
stroying and sinking it in the pro-
cess, it is claimed. The plaintiff
claims that he has made several at
tempts to get the Army to pay for
the damage but has received nc
satisfaction.
