THE NEW TAX LAW.
A Notice of Proposed Sale OF
Lands Must Be Mailed BY
COunly Treasurer to
Owners of Lands.

Senate bill, No. 3O3, introduced by
Senator Baird, of Saginaw, April
IL, 1905, and later made into law.
is an act that will be greatly appre-
ciated by all real estate owners, as
it avoids much of the loss and annoy
ance heretofore caused by tax title
spectators.
Many innocent persons, who have
uniritent tionally allowed their taxes
to go unpaid, have found themselves
legally divested of their titles and
have lost their homes, these having
been acquired for a trifiing sum >py
tax title spectators. "
Senator Baird tackled this evil and
had this bill passed, thus earning the
gratitude of everyone interested ia
realty except the tax title gang.
This bill repeals act 200 of the
public acts of 1891 and all other acts
and parts OF acts in any way contra
vening the provisions of the new act,
and adds new section, Section 81 A,
to act No. 206 of the public acts of
1893.
This new section is as follows:
"Section 81 A: AS soon as the
auditor generals petition, with a
list of delinquent tax lands, is filed
with the register in chancery under
the provisions of section 61 OF this
act, and not less than thirty days
before the date fixed for the annual
tax sale, the owner or owners so far
as possible of each piece or parcel of
property whose taxes are then
delinquent and subject to sale at the
next ensuing annual tax sale, by
mailing to the last known address of
such owner or owners q notice in
substantially the following form.
''Sir:-You are hereby notified
that sale of lands for delinquent
taxes of 49,. :. and prior years will
be made at the county treasurer's
Office on the. day of May l9....
A list of such lands with year S taxes
is published in the. +. "a newspaper
published at Michigan. Whether
you are uncertain of having paid
your taxes or not, you should avoid
the possibility Of sale by procuring
copy OF such paper and examining
the descriptions to ascertain if your
lands are to be sold. Payment or
redemption may be made of the
county treasurer at any time pricr
to the day of sale.

UNRESERYED
PUBLIC LANDS.
Report of Marquette Land Office
for Fiscal Year Ending june
3Oth-Facts Regarding
Timber and Home
stead Entries.

The fiscal year Of the United States
land Office at Marquette closed Fri
day of last week, and the officials
have forwarded to Washington a re-
port of the business transacted dur
ing the past twelve months. A
decrease in the acreage of unre-
served land is one of the noticeable
features of the report, although the
business of the Office shows slight
falling off as compared with last
years figures, states the Mining
Journal.
The report shows a total of 323, 800
acres of government land in the
entire state, of which 164, 464 acres
are in the upper peninsula. The
total last year was 362, ,507 acres, the
upper peninsula being credited with
ia, ,733 acres. In many of the coun-
ties given below, it will be observed
that the acreage of unreserved land
this year exceeds that of last year.
This is accounted for by the land
Office officials as being additions
made by the cancellation Of entries
or filings made last year or at prior
times. In many instances, persons
fling on lands fail to complete the
legal requirements, and the land is
again added to the public domain,
after being declared forfeited. The
various counties containing vacant
government lands are as follows:
