[p. 34a] Town of Austin, December 21, 1829.
The ayuntamiento met in special session to make regulations
and verify the sales, on the 15th of this month, of certain build-
ing lots and garden lots belonging to the town. The ayuntamiento
voted that all the purchasers should be registered, with the num-
bers of the lots that each bought, which shall serve for all time
as a record to show the interested persons, in case of necessity,
the lots they bought. Likewise the ayuntamiento ordered that
titles of possession be issued to such purchaser as soon as he pays
the price for which the lots were sold. And since at the time of
the sale the price. fixed for the lots by appraisers was published,
along with the rules of the ayuntamiento, adopted in session of
the 14th, no one will ever have just cause to complain.
