INvALIDITY OF TAX SALES
UNDER ACT % OF 1850.

The Supreme Court Of the State
recently passed npon The valid
ity Of act 90 Of 1883. That Law W.
placed upon the statute bouks In
order to clear away The accummuls-
tion Of property that Wa nominAlly
owned by the State because Il had
not been redeemed within the year.
The act Of 1889, Of . similar
character, which provided for The
sale Of al property that had bssn
forfeited for taxes prior 70 the year
1880 to the highest bidder, and
curing III defects in The original
assessment and proceedings BY
such sale. va pronounced cousti-
tational By the Supreme Court and
titles under il we're held good.
The law Of 1883 va to apply to
Ill unredeemed property which had
been cold for taxes for years sub
tequeat to 1879. Il made . deed
conclusive evidence that III The
provisions Of the Law had been CON-
piled with and gave a absolute
title to The purchases.
The court, il passing upea The
act, aflrms the right Of The LeGis-
laturs. under our constitutions, to
pass such remedial statutes, but de-
clares that - the act did not pro-
vide for any notice to The former
owner, It was unconstitutional.
The court declares III sales invalid
where such sotice be- not been
givea, and - he Law expressly
stated that no notice Va necessary,
the effect of the decision will b to
annul pretty much "a he sales
made under e.
The act, however, had . good ef-
feet in clearing Oh back taxes. -

The day Of sale and offered 70 re-
deem, were allowed % do %.
