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.
