J. La Fave, Alger county treasurer. A total of 1.473 parcels of land are listed for sale in the spring tax sale which will be held on May 2 at the county courthouse. Actual number of descriptions sold will probably be 88 high as year's tax sale when over 4,000 parcels of land were offered. La Fave pointed out that last year the 4,000 descriptions listed included over 2,000 parcels whose taxes had been paid before the date of the sale.

This year the preparation of the sale lists by the office of the auditor general at Lansing was less difficult and all upon which taxes descriptions, to November 30, 1938. have been removed from the sale lista. All descriptions, therefore, on which taxes were paid up to November 30, 1938, have been removed from the tax sale list, although those paid after that date are included. Notices are being sent to all delinquent property owners whose addresses vailable, informing them that their property is listed on the tax sale list.
