opportunity to call for mail before
$50 p m. Since early closing
went into effect, few people are on
the streets in the evening and there
are practically no calls for mail
after z o'clock. The main entrance
at the Office will be left open as
usual, for the accommodation of
those who rent boxes.
An important decision was hand
ed down recently by the Oregon
Supreme court, in case on appeal
from Multnomah county, involving
the question Of the standing of tax
titles property, where the property
is incumbered by prior mortgage.
In sustaining the decision of the
lower court in this case. Justice
Wolverton held that the sale aid
conveyance of property for the en-
forced collection of delinquent taxes
did not operate to cut off the mort
gage lien. By reason of having
purchased at tax sale, the pur-
chaser acquired lien which could
not be Invested shert of making
him party to the foreclosure un-
less there be a redemption. But
lien existed for the tax prior there
to. When, however, the sale rip
ened into a tax title, the grantte
acquired the interest of the owner.
In this case such interest was the
interest of redemption and the pur-
chaser occupies the shoes of the
owner upon the, foreclosure of the
prior mortgage.
