Spirited Bids Open
Delinquent Tax Sale

The Districts annual delinquent
tax sale got under way this morn
ing in the District Building board
room, where $3.50 pieces of real
estate were on the block.
Tax liens on 500 pieces of prop
erty were sold few hours after the
sale began. There was spirited bid
ding on some property, but about
half of the property reverted to Dis
trict control because there were nc
takers.
About $4,000 in taxes was due
on the 1850 pieces of property, &C
cording to Tax Assessor Edward A.
Dent.
Tax Collector Guy w. Pearson
said about 10 per cent of the tax
bills up for auction were on property
which had been delinquent for many
years, some since 1879. These taxes
were on property unattractive for
bidding because the tax bill exceeds
the property value.
Those who paid the taxes on a
piece of property at today's sale
received a tax sale certificate. If
the owner fails to redeem the GER
tificate within two years by paying
the taxes himself, plus l per cent
interest a month, title to the prop
erty passes to the certificate holder.
About 100 property owners ap-
peared at the District Building yes
terday to pay their taxes before the
deadline. Last year, 2,943 pieces Of
property were involved in the sale
for taxes of $139, TAT. -

MUROC AIR BASE, Calf, Jan
13.-Cracking of the wall Of sound
by unnamed rocket-powered sleds
which streaked over railroad tracks
at more than 1000 miles an hour
has been disclosed by Northrop Air

The sleds were propelled in secret

Tests. were started Is months ago.
The 1,500-pound sleds were. pow
cred by five solid-fuel rockets, each
developing 10000 pounds of thrust
for 1.8 seconds.
Northrop engineers said the rocket
sled reached a speed of 1912 m.p.h
in the first test September 20, 1916
The fastest run of 1,019 m.p.h. was
recorded last March 7.
The vehicles slide on magnesium
slippers" flanged to fit over the
rails.
Engineers have determined that
with proper braking facilities on
the sled and a l0,000-foot track,
the vehicle can be stopped before
running the full length of the
track, S. E. Weaver, Northrop en-
gineer, said.
He said purpose of the expert
ments is to test new airfoils at
ultrahigh speeds with a system
that reverses the conventional wind
tunnel technique by ramming a
model through free air, instead OF
