DOUGLAS ADDITION SALE DECLARED VOID ommissioners Sold tho Lots ana Built the County Hospital with the Proceeds— Now they Must Refund the Money. The county of Douglas wakes up this morning to the full realization that it has | ed debt on its hands, one that it would never be incurred. Some years ago when the question of building a county hospital was being agi- tated the county was the owner of a large tract of land that is now known as *“*Douglas addition,” being located a short distance west of Hanscom park. The boom was on, and a happy thought struck the commis- sioners, who were then looking after the welfave of the county. They would plat the land into lots and have an auction sale. With this idea in view, they made the fall election of 1836 carry along with it a propo- sition to offer the land for sale. Other mat- ters attracting the attention of the vote ouly a small proportion of them paid any thought to the proposition to sell. A major- ity of the voters failed to cast their ballots for tho proposition, and the scheme feil through Phere the matter rested until the spring of 1887, when the county derod a special election to carry out the jdeas originated the fall before. At the spring eleetion there was no other subject up for consideration and the proposition to sell received nearly every vote that was cast. Advertisements ware inserted in the daily papers nlwhen the sale took place it was the talk o the entire country. There was a band to Liscourse sweet music and a barbe- cued ox t) satisfy the cravings of the inner man commissioners or- So the Lots Sold Nicely. This condition of affairs continued for L days, during all of whicn time the g of lots went merrily oo, some of the pumm. rs paying cash in full. while others bought upon the installment plan that were kown to the real en of the <own. At last the sale w. and the county commission discovi Liad disposed of 245 lots and 3 something like 0,000 into the treasury. With this money the construction of the hospital was commenced, and as far as the history of that institution is concerned it is familiar. A couple of years ago there were many of the lot purchasers who concluded that they had paid dearly for the whistle aud at once they began casting about_for a way out of a bad job. Some of them deeded back to the county and lost what they had paid in; others paid up the interest and secured an extension, but there were some who thought that the better way was o go into the courts and fight the thing to a finish. Among those who were of this opinion, Charles B, Keller and ex-Judge Doane fig ured. They held that the sale was illegal and void for the reason that there was no. authority of law for the ordering of the second election, authorizing the sale of the lots, Took Thelr Bargatas Into Court. Aft>r that a large number of the pur- chasers jumped wto the legal arena, all axree ng to stand by the decision in the Kel- ler and Doane ca Several months ago the issues were joined and the case was argued before Judge Davis, ex-County Attorney Mahoney appearing for the county. The ar- guments consumed the time of the court for nearly a week, and then the case was taken under advisement, where it remained until yesterday, when Judge Davis handed down his opinion, holding that the election was void and that tne title to the property never had passed from the county to the parties who bid at the sale, or in_other words, that the land and lots are still the property of the county. The de on applies to all of the lots sold at either public or p the terms of the decision the quired to refund tl hase price i : terest in all ¢ mand for the return of the money has been made, Individually the members of the county board oppose the return of the money until the higher court has passed upon all of the questions. 1f they did not want to carry the suit to the supreme court, they say that it would be impossible to make the payments now, as all of the money arising from the sale of the lots has been disposed of, havin been put into the hospital and is beyon their reach, Auother Phase of the Case. There is another reason why they are op- posed to paying without showing more fight.
