FAULTY TAX TITLES.

The Supreme Court Renders a Deci sion
OF Great Importance.
A special telegram to the Detroit Tribune,
under date of Feb. 27, relative to the tax de-
cision, is as follows:
In affirming the case of Alfred l.. Millard
vs.. Jerome Truax, which was appealed from

made a ruling of the greatest importance in
connection with the sale of land for delin
quent taxes. Millard filed a bill TO remove a
cloud upon his title. occasioned by sale of
his land for taxes under the law of 1889. So
important is the decision of the court that il
is gwen in full, as follows:
"The law provides that the petition filed
by the auditor general shall be in record,
which shall contain description of the land
and the taxes thereon in appropriate columns;
that such record shall be ruled with columns
for the description, the amount of taxes, the
interest. charges, etc, and that il shall con
tain blank columns for other specified en-
tries to be made at the time of the decree
and upon sale.
at il not contemplated by the act that
either petition or decree shall contain any
description of the land or statement of the
amount decreed 10 be due, but that both de-
cree and petition shall refer to the record
b )ok. which is denominated the tax record.
The amount found to be due is to be entered
in the tax record by the register of the court,
and the amount for which the land is sold,
the interest in the land sold. and the name
af the purchaser, with his address, etc. are
TO be entered therein by the county treasurer
upon the sale. The decree is TO be entered
of record in the court, and a certified copy is
to be annexed to the tax record. After the
