New Law Bringing in Old Taxes.

The recent law requiring the county
auditor to insist on the filing, with all
deeds offered for record, of q certificate
from the county treasurer to the effect
that all taxes have been paid, was enforced
for the first time in this county yesterday
morning. This requirement WAS not fore
seen by several would-be recorders of in.
struments, and they were little incredu-
lous and inclined to treat the matter as a
practical joke until q trip to the county
treasurer's office and the payment of back
taxes convinced them that the regulation
was in fact a reality. Treasurer Phelps
reported that he issued from twelve to
fifteen tax certificates in compliance with
this law, and has found no difficulty in
telling a person within very short time
the exact amount due for unpaid taxes
npon his property.

Ffogress Being Made on Both the Lake
Union and south Sewers.
The work on the sewer tunnels IL pro.
crossing. In the northern or Lake Union
tunnel there was a distance to be cut Of
677 feet on January l, but this has now
been reduced to $50 feet. The work ON the
south tunnel is not only much easier. but
the masonry is being put in as fast - the
excavation is made. This was started ON
October 1, at the bay end of South Twelfth
street. The underground work begins at
South Fourteenth street. and the tunnel
has been run in 745 feet. 1t is now being
worked beneath Twenty-ssventh street,
and will be over Q mile long.
