LAND TITLES UPSET.
Chaotic Condition of Affairs Effected
By a Michigan Decision.

Lansing, Mich, Dec. 22.-Hundreds of
titles in Michigan have been rendered
worthless by a decision of the supreme
court in the case of the Connecticut
Mutual Fire Insurance company
against Wood, the effect of the decision
being that when lands are bid off to the
state for the taxes of one year, and
are still held by the state, such lands
cannot again be sold for the delinquent
taxes of succeeding years.
The effect of the decision is so grave
that a rehearing of the case will be
asked

NORTHERN LIGHT ACTIVE.
The Stock Is Rapidly Making Up
For Losses Made of Late.

The tone of the stock market yester-
day was excellent and a number of
leading securities took a turn for the
better and disclosed strong upward
tendencies While stocks which had
been feeling the effects of the recent
bear attacks, hraced up considerably
and were strong at the close, with
gains to their credit
Ajax, which has been in the hole of
late, recorded advances again yester-
day, the closing quotation being 351a
cents bid, with offerings at so cents.
Bullion-Beck also noted marked gains
as well as sales, 80 shares changing
hands at $780, the lowest Offering in
board lots being 1915. Daly-West was
strong in the asking. although the
stock was stationary in the bidding.
Four Aces was in good form and had
many friends in the pit. Geyser-
Marion was able to check its downward
course and was quite firm in the offer
ings and at a higher figure than the
quotation of the previous day, while
holders refused to sell under 81 cents,
buyer and seller being a few cents
apart at the close. Mammoth was a
ready seller at S2.10 and repeated bids
failed to draw out any more of this
security at the same figure Mercur
was at a standStili, with holders firm
at $3.50. 1t was Northern Light, how
ever, which furnished the excitement
of the call. Starting at So cents bid
and 80 asked, buyer and seller soon
got together on basis of Il cents,
which was a decided advance over the
quotation of the previous day, and the
fact that one of the chief officers of
the company was on the floor had a
stimulating effect, especially as sales
were later on recorded at 4115 cents
and no one would fill his order for 800
shares at this figure, the closing quo
tation being AZ cents bid and A asked.
At the windup of the call of the listed
stocks Ontario dropped block of so
shares at 81.
The unlisted stocks were neglected
and but little change was noticeable
in South Swansea, Swansea and ChIor-
ide Point. Homestake was slaughtered
at three eighths of a cent, while Little
Pittsburg was somewhat stronger in
the offerings.
The transactions of the day were as
follows:

OPINIONS BY BISHOP.
ON SPECIAL SCHOOL TAX LEVIEs
BONDS AND INDEBTEDNESS.
Opinions Given in Reply to Queries
By L. H. Eddy, County Attorney
of Grand County, and F. S. Lu-
ETH, County Attorney of Uintah
County.

Attorney General Bishop yesterday
rendered two opinions, one in reference
to the levying of a special school tax,
in answer TO 9. query from L. H. Eddy,
county attorney of Grand county, and
the other in reply to a query from
County Attorney Luethi of Uintah
county, in reference to bond issues. The
opinions are as follows:
LAW OF SPECIAL SCHOOL LAW TAX
LEVIES.
l.. H. Eddy County Attorney, Moab,
Grand County, Utah.
Dear Sir: L beg to acknowledge re-
ceipt of your favor of the 3rd instant, in
which you ask to be advised as to the
sufficiency of notice of meeting of school
trustees for levying a special school tax,
filed with the county clerk by the clerk
of the school board.
You suggest that certain parties are
claiming that the tax is illegal by reason
of the lnsufticiency of the order and no
tice. You also ask whether the county
commissioners can order the tax re-
funded from the county treasury without
such tax being first paid over to the
school district.
l infer from your language, that the
tax has been paid. although you do not
expressly so state. If it has been paid
without protest. it would raise the
question as to whether it could be
refunded or recovered as a mat
ter of law. If paid under protest, the
remedy of the party would be by suit
to recover the same. In any event [ am
inclined to think that the county com
missioners have no jurisdiction to re-
fund it at this time.
However. it is difficult if not quite i'm
possible to venture legal opinion in a
case where the facts are not fully known,
as in this.
1 would therefore suggest that the
safer method would be- to allow the par
ties to seek such remedy as they may
think they are entitled to and leave the
matter to the decision of the courts.
BONDS AND INDEBTEDNESS
F. S. Luethi, County Attorney, Vernai,
Utah.
Dear Sir: Answering your favor of the
18th instant. permit me to say, that
under the laws of 1897 and the decision of
the supreme court, counties are author
lied to issue bonds equal to the amount
of floating Indebtedness on Jan. 4, 1896.
Bonds could not be issued in excess of this
amount, except as authorized by a vote
of the taxpayers thereon as provided in
the constitution and laws of the state.
