It is a scandal, and remedial legislation should be promptly enacted.” At present about six groups of Hen sharks are operating in Queens. Their methods are wholly within the law. Those taken advantage of are largely men and women who know little of business and are frightened into p: ing larger sums than necessary recover thelr property. The method is simple.

Henry ©. Johnson jr, real estate broker at No. 151 Fulton Avenue, As+ toria, a former tax transfer appraiser, became Mr. Darrin's client after having had an experience with a lien buyer, which cost him $250 for failure to pay an old assessment of $13.29. “T never knew, this assessment had been levied until after the len had been sold,” said Mr. Johnson. “I was not notified by the city that I owed the money. I would like to know why these back taxes do not appear on the bill in the column set apart for them. ‘The whole thing is an outrage.” Mr. Darrin suggested an amond- ment to the law which will compel the buyer of a en to make diligent Inquiry as to the whereabouts of the owner of the property and serve him. If he then defaults, the lien holder should be forced to take one-half the legal fees, Costs and disbursements should never be more than the amount of the lien plus the interest. “Such an amendment would put the sharks out of business,” said Mr. Darrin, “for their profits would come down to the interest they bid. The }laet thing in the world they want is to have the owner take up the lien before they can run up a Dill of costs.” Comptroller Craig’e decision to ad- Journ lien auctions until the war ends has caused consternation among the sharks. They are forced to hold con- siderable property, the owners of which have actually disappeared and which, after foreclosure cannot be sold because of stagnant real estate markets. District Attorney Swann yesterday called up H. A. Gieu of No. 320 Broad- way, attorney for Monjelard, and told him not to settle the case for a dollar until the prosecutor had determined whether a crime had been committed.
