tne scheme was in earnest. However,
understand there were ho purchasers at
th first sale. . To aay .nothing of the
legal entanglemenithat tha purchaaer
might have gotten Into,: It appeared to
be a, matter of nobody wanting to buy
$50 blanket on a $10 horse. It seemed
to be a case of throwing In tha horse
for good measure to sell the blanket.
A book might be written on the in
Justice of the presoht law that permits
tna city administration to follow a man
out Into tha woods, where he baa pur
chased a lot for $100 or $400, and allow
them to throw a garment In the way of

$600 Or $600 around It, and then, mind
you, ' eel! the 4 property :: that ' he has
actually paid for to satisfy. the assess

tractors. What ia there to satiaty tna
one who owns the propertyf It occurs
to me that the first consideration in
selling a piece of property rot; deiin
ouent assessments . would be to reltn
burse the owner for what .ha has paid
on hia uroDertv. - It would seem to me,
as a matter ot' Justice, that tbe owner
ahould have the first mortgage on that

a board of appraisers Should be appoint
