Mr. Ford dwelt to some exten on

Officials Hope to Recoup the

TITLE PASSES IN 3 YEARS
If Owner Bedeems "Within Bequlred
Period 10 Per Cent Interest and
Penalty Most as Paid.
Out of 87 pieces of property sold by
City Treasurer Adams this morning for
delinquent street and sewer assess
ments, the city purchased 38 pieces.
The city will hold the property for the
three-year period, the time allowed
owners to redeem, and If not redeemed
by that time will take title to the
property.
The sale was the first where the city
ever attempted to purchase property on
which bonded Street and sewer assess
ment installments are 'delinquent
The city will profit by the trans
actions to the extent of 10 per cent in.
terest per annum on the purchase price
and a 10 per cent penalty if the prop
erty is redeemed within three years.
In many Instances where Install
ments and Interest became delinquent
the city had to advance money from
the general fund to pay the Interest on
improvement bonds issued to finance
street and sewer work.
The interest on this money was per
cent a .year. With tne city now being
bolder of the property It stands a good
chance of getting its Interest money
back and a substantial gain beside.
