the fling Of the atidagita and certificates, ana
made no effort to aecertain whether any Of the
city sales had been redeemed In consequence,
people who owned land SIX months ago, have
been deprived Of it, although they may have
redeemed it, and owo no taxes. Some Of tho
deeds should unquestionably havo been issued,
but many cloud tho titles Of real estate upon
which the taxes have been paid These tar
| deeds convey an absolute tito, aud when the
| yictimized property roa1ize the position
in which the negligence OF :Nheeler has placed
them, many suits will be commenced against
| the chuckling ta1-buyers.
The Law is retroactive, and applies to old tax
sales as well "a new. The holder OF tax ccr-
tifcate is not obliged to provo that the tax has
| not been paid, and by tho present law, tho tax
deed is considered prima jacie evidence that the
| real estate conveyed WAS subject to taxation at
the time 1t WAS assessed and had been listed a;:s
assesaed in tho timo and manner required By faws
| that the tux and special asscasments we're not
| paid at any time before tho sale :;
