The senior Mr. 'llennewies said he sold the same three acres for $850 back in 1916 "when land prices were high;" to a Mr. Mitchell, who operat- ed a saw mill. Later the mill was operated by Alex Mitchell, now residing in Mitchell, but only a house remains on the property. The mill was de- stroyed by fire several years ago. Outstanding taxes on the pro- perty were listed at $176.47 for the years 1962-64 inclusive. The three acres is on a cor- ner of Lot 35, Con. 11 of Lo- gan, a section which has be- come known as "Slabtown."

It was the only lot which brought any bids in the annual tax sale at the office of county clerk -treasurer A. W. Blowes. Eight properties were listed. Mr. Blowes said township councils would be advised of unsold properties. Land owners have a year af- ter sale to redeem properties sold at a tax sale.
