Refardinf Tax Titles.

Our last Legislature passed law
limiting the time to three years for
bringing actions to set aside or can
Gel any tax-deed issued by the
County Treasurer, from the date OF
the issuance of the instrument. This
act will take effect the middle of June
next. The proriso in this enactment
is significant: This act shall not
apply to actions not otherwise barred
on deeds heretofore issued, if the
same be commenced within one year
after the passage of this act" This
bill was signed by the Governor, on
March Is, 1907. This proviso seems
to apply to all tax-deeds issued prior
to that date, or at farthest before
the 14th day of next June, which will
be matter for the courts to con-
strue. Very likely the time will be
reckoned from this last date; other
wise the provisO might be held in
valid as providing too short period
mine months) in which to begin such
actions. Where the rights of minors
or persons labOring under disabilities
had attached prior to the enactment,
the serious question will be pre-
sented whether the law can prejudice
the vested interests of such parties
1t is general in it's provisions with
out the usual saving clauses in that
respect; was enacted for the purpose
of strengthening tax-titles. At any
rate this law will induce numerous
owners of the original legal or equit-
able title to act, and thereby add to
the business of courts and lawyers.

The final decree filed in the estate

Blanche Chambers legacy amounts
to $861.13. The State inheritance

such tax against the entire estate is
$65.17. The Tax Commissioner paid
a high compliment to the executors

urer Geo. G.. Mills, regarding their
accurate and succinct report on the

of the revised salaries, and he can de-
wise no way to make them apply on
account OF the express constitutional
prohibition of a law-maker arranging

bent don t like it, there is always an
J alternative open of resigning.
