UNPAID TAXES
ON STATELANDS
Holders Of Delinquency Ger.
tificates Must Make Pay
ments on Contracts

OLYMPIA, March 17.-That the
holder of a certificate of delinquency
for unpaid taxes on state lands held
under contract of sale will lose the
amount invested in such certificate
If he permits the contract from the
state to be cancelled for non payment
is the substance of an opinion rend-
cred by the state tax commission.
The law requires state lands to be
assessed for general taxes as soon as
a contract is issued on tax rolls for
several years the tax allowed to be-
come delinquent and certificate of de-
linquency issued for the same.
If default Is made in the payments
due the state, the contract Is cancel.
ed and the tax Is no longer a lien
upon the land. 1t has been the prac-
tice among some counties to refund
to the certificate holder, the amount
paid with interest under statute pro
viding that this may be done where
on account OF any irregularity OF the
taxing officers, the certificate is void
The tax commission holds that this
refund is illegal because there Is no
irregularity of the taxing officers, the
property having been assessed and the
tax levied in accordance with thu
statute governing such cases. 1t is
the opinion of the Commission, how
ever, that if the certificate can be
foreclosed, the holder may, before
cancellation of the contract by the
state, foreclose his certificate, getting
a tax deed and succeed to all the
rights of the original purchaser, thus
enabling him to make the remain
ing payments to the state and acquire
deed to the lands.
