pTiate-addresS to which the District Commits
StOnerS responded, and expressing their graft

SALES OF PROPERTY FOR DELINQUENT TAXES.
The following opinion of the attorney for
the District has been received by the Districs
Commissioners and turned over to the collec-
tor of taxes for his guidance:
OFFICE OF THE ATTORNEY D. c..
June 9th, 1873.
Gentemen:-Iw went over the act referred to
with care, and did not find any provision post
pOning the list publication and sale of lands
for delinquent taxes. The attention of Con
greSS was called to this, and the omission of
further legislation. is a decision that the pro
visions of the 5th section of the act of March
Sd. lS.7, are not repealed as they probably are
not, though their enforcement at the times
named will work some extra cost and trouble
recommend that the list be prepared, pub
of June 18th, 1878, was not passed.
If property owners come in to avail
themselves OF the provision of the last clause
OF section three OF that law, of course the adj
vertisement and sale, if a sale has taken place,
can De treated as not to have taken place and
the purchase money refunded to the pur-
chaser, who, as against the owner under this
acquire no rights as now seems to me-
AS this provision of the third section of the act
OF June II, 1873, is one of beneficence to our
people, would it not be well to publish it for
their information at once? Respectfully,
A. q. RIDDLE, Attorney, ID. c.
