59-Cent Error in Tax Sale
Costs Buyer $4,000

SAN FRANSISCO, July IA So
cent error in tax computation cost
O. B. Routh heavily and the State
Supreme Court held there was
nothing he could do about it.
In 1888 Mr.. Routh purchased a
dehydrating unit from petroleum
plant at delinquent tax sale in
Long Beach. The price was $3.50,
including $84.36 in delinquent taxes.
Subsequently it was discovered the
tax should have been $8377.
Then the original owner, A. L.
Becker, claimed the property, con-
tended the sale was invalid, and
sued Mr.. Routh for wrongful con-
version. Mr.. Becker obtained a
judgment for $4.5OO against Mr.
Routh, and Mr.. Routh had to pay
it. after futile appeal to the courts.
The State Supreme Court stated
yesterday: In tax sales the doc
trine of caveat emptor 0et the
buyer beware, applies in all it's
vigor. Purchasers of property at
tax sale take the risk of any defect
in the taxation proceedings"

Reporters inspecting the noun
famous file yesterday found ma
jority of the x cards issued with
apparent good reason. Cases were
found however, of persons with
more than one card. A doctor, for
instance, has an unlimited gasoline
card for each of two automobiles.
Several dentists have received
x cards, though rationing officials
say dentists are not included in the
