What started off as nearly 1,000 parcels for the annual tax sale held last month was whittled down to 81 parcels by the time the sale was conducted in City Council Chambers. According to Tax Collector Kayla Jones, $34,507 was collected for delinquent sewer bills, $74,836 for utility or water bills and $260,525 for unpaid real estate taxes. Seen here, prospective buyers wait to see if their number was spotted and if they will get to hold a lien on the property for the value of the utility bills or taxes due. (Warwick Beacon photo)
