provisions of the present tar law
when it comes up for review. The
particular part of the Law that interest.
centers in is that part or provision
that limits the time of redemption TO
six months after the delivery of the
deed. When this provision was first
placed in the law the purpose was not
expressed in the title to the act and on
that ground the provision was held
invalid by the supreme court. The
following legislature re-enacted the
provision placing it as an amendment
to the general law and under the
fathering of the title to the general
act.
Good lawyers claim that there is
ambig lity there and that the pro-
