INTRODUCTION OF BILLS
By Mr.. Winton-An Act for the better
observance Of the Sabbath.
Also-An Act to provide for the estab-
lishment of q State Normal School.
GENERAL PILE.
Senate bill-An Act to provide for the
sales Of property for delinquent taxes.
The Senate went into Committee Of the
Whole.
Nj. Tritle moved to amend by requiring
notice Of the sale to be published In some
newspaper of the county, as now provided
bv Law in case Of sales on execution. De
said be objected TO making sales ot proper
| " fer taxes without giving as complete
! Nr,-e ,c tho owpars ss possible, The
persons owning real estate IN towns and
| cities, who were absent, had their proper
" in charge Of agents, who were frequent
" absent without the knowledge Of the
owners, and without the knowledge given
| through newspapers that the property was
to be sold, the owner would be liable to
be sold out, when under the impression
that his taxes were all paid, or without
any knowledge Of the contemplated sale.
The amendment was adopted.
Mr.. Hobart explained that it was con.
templated by the bill that property should
be bought in by the Treasurer . trustee
for the county ; that taxes should accrue
against the property, while so held IN
trust, but in no case should there be a sale
Of such trust property for delinquent
taxes. Hrt..
Mr.. Kellogg moved to amend the Sec
ton making deeds Of Tax Collectors Prima
facie evidence Of title, so a. to make them
conclusive evidence Of title, except in cases
of fraud. He said that there was In every
tax sale, or the prior proceedings, some
technical errors. which ought not to affect
the sale, but which would invalidate it
under the decision Of the Courts; that
under the present section there was no
protection to purchasers Of property at
such sales.
Mr.. Winton said that tax sales were
often very irregular, and it was q matter
for the Courts to determine, whether they
were valid or not. He did not think the
Legislature should take away from the
Courts the right to protect owneu OF
property from sales which were manifestly
irregular. g...
Nj. Kellogg said that the effect Of the
present section allowed the owner OF the
property, when sold out for taxes, to 90
back to the deed and inquire into the
manner Of assessing the property and all
subsequent proceedings, and IL there was
the slightest flaw it would invalidate the
deed that in California Q tax deed never
was sustained by the Courts /; the objec-
tons were always merely technical. and
there was no protection to the purchaser,
for the greater portion Of the proceedings
were not Of record. and there was no
means for him to and out whether they
had been regular or not.
The amendment adopted.
The Committee rose, reported progress
and had leave to sit again. Report con-
Cured in.
