t
There
is
no
justification,
however,
for

The
only
just
reason
for
granting
a

short

Would
be
in
the
case
where
a

j
enterprise
requires
a
short
time
for
inquiry
into
factors
surrounding
the
construction
of
its
propsed
r
property.
"
The.
only
basis
of
any
policy
by
the
city

is
"that
which

Th

acquired
by
the
city
through
failure
of

to

their
'taxes,
is;
in
disposing
of
the
property
tq
the
highest
bidder
and
getting
it
back
on
ke
tax
rolls
to
the
end
that

"
The

should
not
enter
the
field
of
speculation
nor
encourage
the
same
by
a
policy
of
options
on
public

a
method
which
is
in-
l
deed
frowned
upon
by
most
priyate
owners

erty.
There
may
be,
but
we
do
not
know
of
any
other
,
,
,citfes
which
have'
such
a
policy.
In
fact
the
question
of
the
power
of
a
city
council
to
grant
options
might,
well
be
looked
jntq."
This
old
ppUcy,
hqwever,
of
granting
options
on

owned
by
the
community
through
its
city
corporation
is
out
of
Un.e
witli
the
otherwise
!-
.progressiy
policies
of
the
city
council
and
should
be
abandoned:
as
quickly
as
possible.
.
For
nowhere
can
we
find
justification
for
it
in
the
pubUe
interest
with-
the
one
exception
mentioned
above..
And,
wh.ether
legal
qp
otherwise,
there
is
no
justificatory
of
any
sort,
for
continuing
a
policy
of
