Hunn to <br />foreclose a tax lien in favor of the City of La Porte on April 28, <br />1923. The delinquent years were 1918 through 1922. Judgment was <br />rendered in favor of the City of La Porte after service of citation <br />by publication on September 20, 1923. Subsequently, on December <br />4, 1923, sale was held and the property was bought in by the City <br />of La Porte for $153.77. The record shows no deed out of the city <br />since then.
