<br />
<br /> 1st - "Inquiry has ~een made of me by persons interested in buying k25 Henry
<br />Street, and lots assessed as 304-5tn Street. It seems as if the taxes are more than the par-
<br />ties are willing to pay for the property. I talked with one of the owners who stated that
<br />there was nothing he could do about it. Apparently, the property is abandoned. The City Col-
<br />lector talked with the other owner, who promised to let.him know if she desired to hold the
<br />property, but as yet, he has heard nothing furthe~ from her. The houses on the lots, in each
<br />case, have been razed. This property is assessed and City taxes are due as follows:
<br /> Eugene R. Brinkley, 425 Henry St., City taxes from
<br /> 1921 through1936, inclusive, amounting to $322.O5.
