reconstruction.
Poincarc S reply was couchedi in

HEARING SCHEDULED
ON TAX DEED ORDER
Commissioners to Receive Argu-
ments on Proposed Modi-
fcation.

The District Commissioners will
hold a. hearing at 1890 Friday morn
ing on a proposed modification in
tho order under. which tax deeds are
issued to persons who buy in the
real estate of delinquent taxpayers.
The law provides that at the end
r,f two years from the date of the
tax sale the Commissioners shall issue
a. deed to the persons who buy the
property. In 1918 a former board of
commissioners ruled that the de-
1;nuuent taxpayer could redeem his
property by paying the taxes ana pen
aItteS at any time before the deed
vas actually turned over to the buyer.
1t is the opinion of the present
authorities at the District building
that tho law makes it mandatory on
he Commissioners to issue the tax
deed at the expiration Of the two
year. period which means that if the
new order is finally approved the
delinauent taxpayer cannot redeem
slfter. the buyer has applied for the
deed.
After the deed, which constitutes
cloud on the title to the property, has
been issued the owner may then clear
+he title by settling with the person
who bought the property at the tax
sale.
