NEW LAW WILL
BRING LITIGATION
500 CASES A YEAR
WILL BE ADDED
Statute Relating 10 Foreclosures on
Delinquent Tax Property VIII
Cause Big Increase Of Business for
Circuit Court-Fnst Flood OF Suits
Expected to Come in October

II is estimated that as many as
500 cases a year may be added 10 the
business Of the circuit court by OPP
Grafton Of the new law relating to
foreclosure Of property on which de-
linquent taxes have not been paid
within six months from the time they
became delinquent. That is about the
number of cases that will result II
delinquencies continue at the rate OF
former years, for IL seems almost GER
tain that tax titles will be snapped
up by those who see a change to
make money.
The law gives interest at the rate
Of Is per cent on delinquencies after
a certificate has been issued by the
sheriff, and the certificate may be
secured on application to the sheriff
and payment OF back tax at the ex-
piration Of six months after the date
Of delinquency. Suit TO foreclose may
be begun Immediately thereafter, and
it seems likely that there will be a
flood Of suits in October, when the
Ola AhOhthS PcliOu has cAplEcu.
Under the law county clerks are
required to furnish blanks for the
proceeding OF foreclosure, and they
will lay in stock Of them. The fees
required on filing the complaint
amount to only 81, and II the case
goes by default this will not pay the
cost. If the case is contested defend
ant on appearing must pay IS. and
the case will then take the course Of
an ordinary foreclosure proceeding.
The tax title problem has long
been a disturbing one. and the new
law is the result of an effort Of the
legislature to bring such matters to
a quick conclusion. putting heavy risk
and penalty on the person who al
lows six months to elapse without
paying taxes on land. 1t is thought
