T1Y TITLE DECISION


The supreme court yesterday
delivered itself Of several rulings
on tax title cases. one or two Of
them presenting new aspects of
the many sided tax sale laws
The first case is an interesting
one. An insurance company got
title to property by foreclosure,
on which taxes had not been
paid. The default Of payment
Of taxes for 1891 had extended
beyond the statutory period for
redemption when the assurance
company paid arrearages and
took receipts
A third party, Wood by name,
bought the states title for the
taxes Of 1881, at the sale which
was ordered, Notwithstanding
the payment Of the taxes by the
insurance company for the pur-
pose of redemption. The third
party, Wood, got his tax sale
deed and assumed to take pos
session of the property
The court held that Wood, who
had bought the state title for the
taxes Of 1891, had constructive
notice OF the payment Of the
taxes by the insurance company,
including those Of 1892, and that
it would be inequitable TO permit
him to get title of property the
taxes of which for a subsequent
default, had been paid by an
other.
la this view Of the equity Of
the case the tax title deed to
Wood was set aside. The effect
of it is TO return the property to
the delinquent tax sale list, and
re. offer it for sale. At such sale
either Wood or the insurance
company may pay mp arrearages
and procure title in the usual
way.
The moral effect OF the decision
will be Statutory because it will
restrain tax title experts from
practicing sharp tricks to get
possession of lands. The ele.
ment Of trickery, the taking adj
vantage of technicalities vital of
nature, saturated this particular
case and it could be rebuked only
by going beyond the pale of
strict statute to invoke equity.
The other cases decided re.em-
phasizes the notorious fact that
the state has constitutional
power to sell the lands of those
who refuse TO pay the taxes
assessed asainst them. and 20
give good faith purchasers of
such lands, unassailable titles -
