Ftorras DOWLING, Auctionsen QGATALOGUE GALE or OBIENTAL CABPETS, RUG, PORTIERES, LAMBREQUINS AND INE EMBHOIDERIES, cotta which has been going on has not created much Of @ stir in real estate circles, despite the fact that acres and ucres of city real estate, much of it located in the very heart of the capital, has passed under the hammer, During most of the fale the only audience the auctioneer had was the colored watchman at the door, He did not buy anything, although grand opportunities of purchasing valuable building lots for a trifle Were conslaptly urged upon bim by the auc- Honcer. ‘The auctioneer was collector Cook mse! THE AUCTIONRER RULED OUT. For many years a regular auctioneer was em- ployed, together with @ man to ring a bell, but this display had to be dispensed with, as the first controller refused to pass the accounts. So the collector bas been obliged to be his own auctioncer. He hasa deputy with him to “spell’ him at times when his voice gives out. He diss carded the bell, but still remained faithful to the tradition requiring a red flag. The iaw re- quires a public sale, bat 16 not mandatory on he subject of the bell. In order to preserve Its Tiguts and claims the District 1s required to 0 through the form of a vendue. The printed list 91 pieces of real estate to be sold on account of arrears of taxes makes a volume of over eight hundred pages. It was no easy task even 10 go through the form of an auction on every piece of Property. “The next lot is No.'80,in square 8009, as- sessed In the name of Join Smith. How much am Loffered? There being no other bidder the District becomes the purchaser at the amount Of the taxes.” ‘These words, or words of similar import, were repeated over and over again, BID IN BY THE District. The District in almost every case bidsin the property. Occasionally bids were made by other persons and accepted. These bids were not made in the course of the sale, but were teft at the collector's office and noted’ down. Gen- erally such bids, covering only the amount of taxes and penulties due, were made by persons having some equitable Interest in the property to protect, which might be hkely to suffer in the event of a tax sale. Where the District is the purchaser, any person so desiring can be- fore the record of sules is finally closed, become the purchaser for the amounsot taxes,” In such event the purchaser pays the District the taxes due, and the owner bas to setile with this tax- payer, having the privilege of redeeming his Property within two years by paying to te purchaser at the tax ale the umount be paid the District and 10 per cent a yeur udditioual. A very good investment, one might say, but SUll no capitalists seem eager to go tuto it.The Teusou Is thal the Jaw und the decisions of court give the purchaser only a fighting chance tor his money. ‘There are scores of little techulcal points 10 be raised. If there has been the Slightest error ol iortm in listing or advertising the property, the inan who buys at tne tax sale Joses, ‘HOW A MAN MIGHT GET POSSESSION. “If you bought a lot at tax sale,” said an offi- celal at the collector's office, “and fenced it in and then kept possession for twenty years, you might be able to maintain your title.” Still the Sale is quite effective in bringing avout a se.tie- ment Of arrears. A large mujority of delin- quencies are on’ the part of those who are un- able to pay the accumulated taxes or have come to the conclusion that it will not pay them to clear off the taxes. In other cases, questions have been ruised as to the legulity of the taxes charged. The sale of a piece of real estate for taxes, If it does not wipe out the title in fee, suffices to cloud it to sume extent, and so property owners will settle rather (ban have such a sale made. The District is a gainer through delinquencies among tax-payers. The amounts received annually for penalties and interest, over and above the taxes properly, is between $80,000 and $100,00U, or enough almost to pay the expenses ot the District office: ‘The balance sheets ut the collector's olfice are Tatber intricate ufluirs to one wuo takes them up lor the first me, The collector keeps an accouut agaiust himself of the arrears due tor several years back. Going trom year w year one can see the figures ut the top of the column gradually lesseu until thev are finally wiped out altogether, while at the same time a pew year’s arrears are added to the bot ol the list, Several measures looking to more efficient ways than those now provided tor eniorcin, the collection of ‘taxes have been proposed, during the puat few years, © THE BLANCHARD BILL, A bill was introduced in the House last Janu- ary “to amend the laws in relation to land u- tes in the District,” which proposed to remedy existing defects in the laws relating totax sales. ‘Tue bi never got past the District committee, ‘This bill covered a great many matters in rela- tion to titles, correcting deiects which it is claimed exist in practice and law here. The section relating to tax sales is us follows: “That hereafter all tax deeds executed by the officer designated by law to execute the sume, Of land hereafter sold for taxes, shail vest in thé grantee ail the right and estate of the jormer owner in aud to the land conveyed, and stall be pre- sumpltive evidence iu law and in equity, in ull coutroversies and suits in relation to the rights of such grantee, his heirs and assigns of the tol- lowing ucts: First, that the property so oon- veyed was subject taxation for the year or Yyeurs eluted in the deed.

The press investigating committee, whicn ‘was appointed to look Into the meansemployed by the correspondents in securing information Of the proceedings of the convention, had the Gelegate from Boston who represents the Boston Globe before it, and several reporters were asked to explain matters to the committee. The Teporters, with the exception of the Globe man, made no explanation, and Messrs. Haggert and O'Reilly, the special committee, are nearly &s far trom ‘the facts as betore. There was a good deal of talk in the general assembly over the report of the committee, but finally the Selegate who was caught by iuyes, of the gen: eral board, was allowed to retain his seat and the commitice was ordered to learn more, if Possible. ‘The reports of the general secretary-treasurer, the executive board, a supplementary report ‘on national legislation, the report of the com- mittee on woman's work and the committee ‘On the revision of the constitution were received.

Assemblies are being organized ‘at the rate ‘of 300 euch month. The preseut_ membership in good standing ts estimated at 1,300,000. THE REPORT OF THE GENERAL EXECUTIVE BOARD is very long and covers the entire work of th board during the year. Seventy-two pages are required to tell what was done. A complete ex. lanation of each matter attended to is given, ‘he report concludes with two pages of recom: mendations, the most important of which is the erection’of a suitable building as a general office for the order. The cities named are Philadelphia or Washington, the sormer aving the preference of the ‘entire bourd. They recommend that the board be authorized Wo begin the erection of a bullding at once.
