Suffolk Ma y Sell Idle Propert y to Public in Sprin g County Now Has Clear Title to Land With a Value of $1 > 27£645. A proposal to offer for sale to th< public property tought in for non- paymen t of taxes is being considered by Suffolk County , ' officials , according to information made public this weefc by County Attorney Edgar F. Hazelton, who revealed that the cou:ity now holds clear title to . ' land having an assessed valuation $1$75,645. Mr. Hazelton declared that if a : decision to sell is-reache d, it Is likely that the sale will be held this spring. I The land now owned by the county j consists of 8,400 lots ' and 25 acreage parcels. . Through - the . medium of a i public sale , all lands sold will be re- 1 claimed to the tax rolls, thereby again becoming revenue producing. No "For Sale" Signs A somewhat similar plan is under contemplation by the pity of New York , which has property assessed at S 3 000, 000 on its " hands. \The method there will be to post the propert y with "for sale " signs. In Suffolk County, however , - this would, . be impractical , said Attorney Hazelton. Most of the property to be offered , possibly at an auction sale , is situ- ated in the towns of Babylon , Isllp and Brookhaven. Duri ng the past year or more Rus- sell D. Van ' Brunt , assistant County ; Attorney in. charge of tax land mat- | tcrs , has teen engaged in perfecting title to such jan ' d In behalf of thej county.

Suffolk May SellIdle Propert y toPublic in Spring

County Now Has ClearTitle to Land With aValue of $1>27£645.

A proposal to offer for sale to th<public property tought in for non-paymen t of taxes is being consideredby Suffolk County , 'officials , accordingto information made public this weefcby County Attorney Edgar F. Hazelton,who revealed that the cou:ity nowholds clear title to . 'land having anassessed valuation o£ $1$75,645.

Mr. Hazelton declared that if a: decision to sell is-reache d, it Is likely

that the sale will be held this spring.I The land now owned by the countyj consists of 8,400 lots' and 25 acreageparcels. .Through - the. medium of a

i public sale , all lands sold will be re-1 claimed to the tax rolls, thereby againbecoming revenue producing.

No "For Sale" SignsA somewhat similar plan is under

contemplation by the pity of NewYork , which has property assessed atS3 000,000 on its " hands. \The methodthere will be to post the propert y with"for sale" signs. In Suffolk County,however ,- this would, . be impractical ,said Attorney Hazelton.

Most of the property to be offered ,possibly at an auction sale, is situ-ated in the towns of Babylon , Isllp andBrookhaven.

Duri ng the past year or more Rus-sell D. Van ' Brunt , assistant County ;Attorney in. charge of tax land mat- |tcrs , has teen engaged in perfectingtitle to such jan 'd In behalf of the jcounty.

The major portion of the construc-tion work on the transmitting appara-tus at West Sayville has been com-pleted , and on Wednesday afternoonengineers at the local plant were put-ting the finishing touche s to intricatepieces of radio equipment , some ofwhich have been flown here from thePacific Coast.
