City Clerk;

Sir;
Herewith a copy pi the 1929 Act covering a supplemental method
o~ collecting taxes as talked over by your city council at the last
meeting.
You will note that the city may advertise the taxes and sell same
to other parties or the city may buy the taxes in and foreclose. However
in the event an outside party buys the tax certificate ,the buyer must
~ a... ~~,
wait two years before he can/rv_~_l~(!.The City,may,however,fo~eclose
the moment the city buys the certificate.
It seems to me';that the most desirable method to clear up the tax
collection wauld be; by the city operating under the Chatter,and foreclos~
ing without the expense of advertising the delinquent taxes,as the I92~
act requires.if times were good the running of the advertisement would
scare the people ~nto paying up.But now that we are in tlie midst of the
most terrible panic the world ever sawtonly dynamite or a foreClosure
will move the ta:~ayers.(Croton oil might move the taxpayers but not in
the direction of the tax collectors offioe)
verY truly yours
