Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1894-05-04

lands which have been offered for sale for
the tax for two successive years, aud have
received no purchaser; and whereas cer-
tain of said lands will, under the statute
forfeiting the same to the state, Be
dropped from the tax list, and thereupon
become unproductive Of any revenue or
tax; and whereas, this board, upon due
consideration, believes 1t to be to the in.
terests of this county to receive as re-
demption for such lands the amounts for
which the same were sold to the state at
the various sales thereof, when no other
purchaser was obtained, without penal
ties or interest upon the said amounts
since such sale to the state, rather than
to permit such lands to become unpro,
ductive of revenue; now, therefore,
Resolved, That IS to all such lands
hereinbefore described, the county treas.
urer is hereby authorized to give redemp.
tion receipts to the owners or parties
having redemption interest therein
upon payment to him of the amount for
which the same were sold to the state at
such sale or sales for any year or years
prior to the tax for the year 1892. Pro.
vided, however, that such interest and
penalties shall not be abated unless re-
demption of such lands is made as fol-
lows, viz: From the tax of the year 1889
or prior years on OR before May /, 1894
and from the tax for the years 1e80l and
1891 on or before June /, 1S94.u
