IN EXTRAORDINARY STATUTE.
Attorney Riddles opinion of the Law Pro-
Viding for Tnx Cerilfcates.

viding for Tax Certificates.
A recent act of Congress having been re-
ferred to District Attorney A. G.. Riddle for his
construction thereof by the District Commits
sioners, that gentleman has returned the same,
with the following opinion:
am asked whether under the provisions Of the
act OF February G, 1879 anybody and everybody
can secure from the collector of taxes certificate
OF the status of any or all the real property Of the
District Of Columbia In reference to taxes paid upon
IT, This is an extraordinary statute. Its passage
must have been secured In the interest of making
easy, aud will inevitably work the most serious
mscherto the District under the narrowcst con.
proper application. to give, under his hand and
seal certificate of the taxes, general and special,
then due, which are in amy manner a
lien OH any real estate IN the District. This Ger.
titcatc Is between the District and any subsequent
purchaser Of the property taken as absolute verify
aud tao purchaser shall take the property dis.
charged from any assessment omitted from the GER
tifCotc. For this paper the applicant Is to pay the
muninccnt price Of iiity cents Thus for hall dol
IT. wy n'stilCt u o u,lNu WIN Buu'
the accuracy and perfection Of the certificate OF the
collector, and it erroneous II must make them
good. lfanybody aud everybody can call for such
certificates on any property in the District, then
must the Commissioners Mt once employ several of
the Oblest real estate Lawyers aud charge them with
these grave and onerou, duties But who, under
this act, can demand this certificate? Fortunately,
the language of the act leave, no doubt on this
point. They are limited to the actual taxpayers,
theF aRGmS ono f,,o'',SEs i,d ,ne pIope'is,
that the taxes u; on which the applicant
Is to pay. The Language Is: And 1t shall be the
duty of said tax collector whenever called upon
to furnish, In addition TO the regular tax bills, Il
certified statement, over his hand aud official seal,
&c Clearly the call for the certificate waits upon
ana is incidental to call lOr the regular tax BILL
which nobody had any business TO make except
the owner his agent or attorney for the purpose of
payment, which can happen only twice year.
When he calls for this regular tax bill he may in
addition ask to have certificate made of all out
standing assessments of taxes, general or special,
upon the property covered by the regular tax
bill, ana no other: nor can any other person call
for the certificate who does not call for the regular
tax bill" nor can any but the owner, his Ggcnt OF
attorney of specific real estate, call for the regu.
lar tax bin" 40 other construction of this act is
In my Judgment. warranted by It's language, and n
construction that would turn the collectors office
into mere examining bureau of land titles which
the District Is to warrant not only does violence to
he act but would in every way be prejudicul to
the District.

the Court of Appeals could hear the argument by
September IL. 1t was claimed by Mr.. H. e. Scudder,
