LEGAL
OUESTIO6
RAISD.
Perfection of DeSip|
tiOnS of Land
For Tax Sale Must be hde
TO Make Tax Sales Val at
Law.
The exports" resume Thr
LabOrS in the SheriiS
Office.

The task Of compiling a consolidad |
delinquent tax roll, representing unpd |
taxes due Marion county for the pt
ten years, was temporarily suspend
by the county court Tuesday evening.
As the work progressed, Judge SEQ
discovered, upon a careful investigate
Of the rolls, that the property descrin
tions Of the land liable to sale for delin
quent taxes, particularly ssfor the year
lS90-1.2. were, in many instances, i'm
perfect and incomplete and would rem
der the sale thereof Of doubtful effeo
without a revision Of such property de
scriptions. The correcting of the de
scriptions necessary to make this prop
erty saleable, raised the legal question
as to the authority OF the court or othe
county officers to perform the work
The court now has the qnes
tion under confederation and will
submit It to legal authority from whom
decision will likely be received withir
few days. In the meantime, Experts
Clark and Buchanan have resumed the
examination of Sheriff Durbin's books.
Tue blame for the incomplete and
carelessly prepared rolls in the early
nineties, as to property des riptions, can
lie directly traced TO tie assessor who
completed the roiis. The blame should
also be jointly shared by the members Of
the county court who at that time ac-
cepted the rolls in such condition.
Judge SJott says some newspapers
have given out an erroneous statement
in representing that he, as county judge
alone, had ordained the compilation Of
the consolidated roll. He says the other
members Of the court were consulted
before the work was begun and both
Of the commissioners endorsed the plan
and authorized him to take such action
in relation to the collection OF such de-
linquent taxes as he might deem neces-
say and effective. When the court has
made a thorough investigation and an
honest endeavor TO collect upon these
defective delinquent rolls, it feels that
it shall have performed It's duty.A
Ths'cdlnpIitau6h OF tais delinquent
roll which requires the use by the ex
perts Of the tax rolls in Sheriff Durbin's
Office, has brought about a renewal of
the recent controversy between that
officer and the members Of the county
court. Requisition was made on Sheriff
Durbin by the experts for all tax rolls
for the years 1890 to 1900 inclusive but
he refused 20 surrender all Of the rolls.
He delivered the rolls to and in
cluding 1894 but will not permit
the 1895 and 1896 rolls to leave his de-
partment until his collections on those
rolls have been duly checked Sheriff
Durbin asserts that he will not allow
the rolls for ls97-S-9 aud 1900 to be
taken from his Office until after the ex-
perts have completed the examination
'f his records. lie feels that the work
oi examining tn . accounts OF the various
'flicers should not be interrupted and
iide tracked by any other proceeding
md will resist the effort 30 far as the
'emoval from his Office of any other tax
oils ia concerned.
