TONGUE, J.,
dissenting.
I join in the dissenting opinion of Mr. Justice Bryson. I also question the constitutionality of a statutory procedure under which a homeowner can be deprived of his home without proof of actual notice of the proceedings under which his home was sold for failure to pay a delinquent assessment. See Walker v. Hutchinson City, 352 US 112, 116, 77 S Ct 200, 1 L ed 2d 178 (1956), and Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank & Trust Co., 339 US 306, 70 S Ct 652, 94 L ed 865 (1950). Cf. Hood River County v. Dabney, 246 Or 14, 423 P2d 954 (1967). Thus, even though the question of constitutionality was not raised by plaintiff’s counsel, it is of such importance that I would set this case for reargument upon that question.
