FALSE CERTIFICATE OF SALE.
Purchaser of Property for Taxes TO
Have Money Refunded


The refund of purchase money paid for
overdue taxes on property on which an
erroneous certificate was issued, is the
subject of an opinion submitted to the
Commissioners by Andrew B. Duvall, the
Attorney for the District. The property
in question is the south half Of lot }.
block 3. Burkett's subdivision Of Mount
Airy and Friendship, valuable parcel
assessed IN the name of Isaac E Shoe
maker ard now owned by J. W. Collins.
Facts show that there was default IN
the payment Of taxes on the lot Tor the
wear 1888. and that II was advertised and
sold 10 Charles 5 WiItsie, OF Rochester.

record of the tax sale IN the oflce OF 'he
Collector of Taxes Improperly describes
the property as lot 80 and Improvements
The report of the Collector for 1ling with
the Recorder Of Deeds also describes the
property as lot 80 instead of lot ).
Owing to these clerical errors in the
records statement Of taxes was issued
to Mr.. Williamson, July Z. 1909, from
which was omitted any reference to the
tax Of 1898 or the sale OF 1899.
Mr. DuvaU stated that IN his opinion,
the description of the property confined
in the written report Of the Collector Of
Taxes fled with the Recorder Of Deeds
was fatally defective He says there was
a sale Of lot g. and a reported sale OF lot
So Mr. DuvaII says further that the OBJ
ject Of this report is 10 give notice TO the
owner Of the property and TO all per-
sons dealing herewith that il has been
sold for taxes which IN this case mani
