A'vJeW of fhe delinquent laves
and assessment situation and tho
progress being made, by the city In
clearing It up, is Bet forth In a report
to .the city council by City Attorney
John H. Cfti'kln, as follows:
; "When this work was undertaken
some three years ago there was de
linquent Kpproximjitely $120,000 in
county and Btate taxes on property
iigninnt which the city had delinquent
assessments and there was a total of
2266; lota with delinquent taxes of
from one to ten years. While not all
. of these were on pavement, yet the
majority were and when we consider
that there were but between 4000 and
6000 lots oriKinally paved, one can
readily see that at the time the ex-
. . tended payment plan -wai, proposed
some five oi six years ago that there
was a delinquency of nearly 50 per
cent.
"Dye to campaigns on the part of
the city to get the. property owners
tn 'pay up 'the taxes, a part of this
$ 1 2 f . 0 0 0 of county tax del'.nquency
was paid up at .Jacksonville without
'jreuirlns tho city to take over the i de
linquent properties at tax si'.ios.
"However, out of theso 2268 lots it
l(was necessary to take over about one-
third of them at, the county tax sales
.three year ago. -Of the approximately
,00 that the city had to take over
from, tho county. at that, time the ma
ll jbrlty wer on paving. , All of those on
'Jpaviiig, howevr, have been redeemed
-or straighten',-! up by the original
'owners or disposed of to the legion
boys, .with the exception of approxi
mately one hundred. 1
r "Thua, so far as the lots' on paving
"are concerned as against the delin
quency ot over 2200 lots to, start with
-we now have title to only some ' one
.hundred In other words t nearly he
pei rent delinquency has feev re
duced to something leis than S per
cent. I believe this is a renarVtHble
showing and one of whkh iie ci ti
ters can well be proud.
"In connection will: the vne hun

TO PAY OFF THEIR
ASSESSMENT
Mayor 13. C .aaddJs today issued a
public letter to Mtdford property
surest that Ui vit-w vt the liventiRti-j owners urging those who are delink
tlonn shovlns tho tavad lota ar soil- quent in i.uvins. gewer or water as

requests from some property owners the pood of tho city.
that further pnving be done, and I Lorn yvnr tho city was able to pay
especially in view of the heavy de-1 ott $((j. P'i-J of Improvement .bonds
mund for paved lots for building;, that Rnd vnis year ' Mayor -'Gaddls hopes
the remaining lots when soUl should
not be sold at too great a sacrifice.
"I have no't taken up the mattor of
the lots off paving. The city has on
its hands as you know a number bf
them, in fact sufficient probably to
accommodate the doubling of bur
present population without extending
our city limits, but inasmuch as there
Is a total of only 139,000 of delinquent
indebtedness against all bf the un
paved lots they do not constitute ' a
real factor in the straightening up of
city assessments.
"Further, I am not taking up the
700 or 800 lots, most of vliich signed
up under the new plan, and hiive one
or more Installments bf city assess
ments delinquent, although these are
requiring a greater part of the time of
that at least 1100.000 will be paid off.
This amount can be 'paid off in the
mayor's opinion, if 'the citizens eo
operate properly with the city toward
this end.-' .
The notice Is in part as follows:
"When our. paving, sewer and water
mnins were laid during 1909. 1910 and
1911, !t wi on tho basis that they
v-.uld be- paid for within ten years,
out (Jverse war conditions caused the
auction of the1 present extended pay
ment plan, .-which gives addltlona'
time to those who signed
by this nmv plat;'. .
