NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The Church and Secular Life. By
Frederick William Hamilton Boston:
Universalist Publishing House). The
author of this volume is native of
Portland, the son of Jonas Hamilton,
ESQ.,, Superintendent of the Portland
& Ogdensburg railroad. He is Univer-
salist minister, and this work is series
of lectures delivered by him at the
Church of Our Father in Pawtucket,
RI, during the winter of 1894. These
lectures are eight in numebr, and are
entitled "The Church and the Life of
Men; The Church and Education; The
Church and Charity; The Church and
Business; The Church and Labor; The
Church and Politics; The Church and
Reforms; and The Church and Society.
AS their titles indicate, the purpose of
these lectures is to point out the attitude
the church and religious men should
hold toward these different interests and
classes. The author sees correctly, his
style is clear, and his suggestions will be
exceedingly helpful.

Delays in Issuing Tax Certificates.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
A short time ago Mr.. c. C. Glover wrote
to the District Commits sioners calling their
attention to the fact that tax certificates
were being issued which did not have tax
sales noted upon them. The assessor was
then ordered by the Commissioners to note
possible to procure tax certificates at all.
l have been informed that one of the title
companies has not received a certificate for
over two weeks. On visiting the assessors
office few days ago in search of an over
due certificate l was Informed by one of
the clerks that the delay was caused by the
search for tax sales. l went TO the room
where the certificate was being held up and
asked to see it, Noted upon 1t was sold
for taxes in 1923" Being surprised that a
sale so far back should have been noted
asked one of the clerks how far back they
carried the search and he replied 'to the
foundation of the government" Now it is
very evident to me that an unnecessary de-
lay is being caused in issuing tax certif-
Gates for the purpose of raising q public
kick against the search for tax sales, in
which event the Commissioners would re-
scind the order. When property has bean
sold for taxes two years must elapse be-
fore tax deed is given by the Commits
sioners Before the deed is given a pur-
chaser has no way of ascertaining about
the sale unless it is noted upon his tax
certificate, but if deed has been given
and recorded, then the title company notes
1t upon their opinion. 1t would, therefore,
appear that two years would be far enough
for the assessor tC go back in his search
for tax sales, at all events, twenty years
would be more than ample time for all pur-
poses W.
