Subscribers to this work will be pleased, I am sure, to note the additions which have been made this year. The listing- of a good Bank in each County, it seems to me, ought to be of considerable value. As most transactions pertaining to real estate which are closed through banks, are han- dled at county seat towns, patrons of this directory will, as a general rule, find this all that is desired in the way of a Bank Directory, and will thus be saved the cost of a high-priced publication. The Banks listed herein, while not in every case those of the largest capitalization to be found, are promi- nent institutions, having special facilities for han- dling collections and other non-resident business. Many of them are U. S. Depositories, all have large deposits and are very popular locally.

As in former editions, the most careful means have been employed in the selection of representa- tives in the other lines of business also. While it is not expected that I can become personally ac- quainted with all these parties or with their finan- cial standing, the method of obtaining their names is such that I do not hestitate to assert that this is as reliable a list, considering the territory cov- ered, as is possible to produce. Letters are sent to local bankers in the form as given below, and they, knowing* the reputation, habits, financial standing and ability of these parties, make the selection for me, and on the postal card sent them for the purpose, they recommend them in very strong terms. In a few counties where there are no banks or where the one written to failed to reply promptly, the recommendations were made by some other prominent business man or county of- ficer and their honesty and integrity vouched for.

(Form of letter sent to Bankers, j

Dear Sir:

Will you be kind enough to give me, on the en- closed postal card in the following order:

The name of one of the most reliable and re- sponsible abstracters,

One of the best and most reliable real estate agents, and

A first-class real estate lawyer in your town.

If you will kindly select for me such men as you can recommend in these lines as being responsible, and who, in your judgment, would faithfully at- tend to any matters pertaining to real estate which might be entrusted to them, I will consider it quite an accommodation. Kindly answer promptly and give me, if possible, the names of three different men.

Yours truly,

The Special List of Abstracters approved by the Union Central Life Insurance Co. is also a new feature. It is needless for me to point out the ad- vantage of this to Financial Correspondents of this company, or their sub-agents, or to describe the method of investigation employed before the names are placed on this company's approved list. Suffice it to say, that their requirements, as is the case with all large life insurance companies, are very rigid and to be classed as one of their approved abstracters is a strong recommendation in itself.

The matter which this publication now contains, if printed in larger type, on pulp paper, and spaced as some real estate directories are, is sufficient to make a very large volume. Believing that a bulky affair of this kind is in no way desirable, I have made this of a size to easily slip into a pigeon hole of a desk, where it is at all times available for ready reference.

Inasmuch as the revision has been so thorough and complete and we are now so far along in 1907, it is deemed that no further issues of this book will be necessary until January, 1909. In the mean- time I hope all the reliable men whose names fol- low may enjoy the prosperity which they justly deserve and be able to give "Montgomery's" some credit for aiding in the cause.

LAWS OF CALIFORNIA

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, June 22nd, 1907, by Crittenden Hampton, attorney at law, Sonora, California.

Taxes.

Property is assessed for taxes between the first Monday of March and July of each year to the per- sons owning it at noon on the first ^Monday in March. It is required to be assessed at its full cash value, but as a matter of practice the valuation is usually less. All taxes become a lien on the first Monday in March. Taxes on all personal property not secured by real property become due and payable immediately upon assessment. Taxes on all personal property secured by real property and one-half of the taxes on real property are due and pavable on the first Monday in October, and become delinquent on the last Monday in November at 6 o'clock p. m. ; and if not then paid 15 per cent is added to the amount thereof. And if said one-half be not paid before the

LAWS AND FORMS— CALIFORNIA 307

last Monday in April next, at 6 o'clock p. m., an additional 5 per cent is added. The remaining one- half of the taxes on all real property is payable on the first Monday in January next, and delinquent on the last Monday in April at 6 o'clock p. m. ; and if not then paid 5 per cent is added. All taxes may be paid at the time the first installment is due and pay- able. All taxes are payable to the tax collector at his office.

The taxes may be paid upon each particular lot assessed.

On or before June 5th of each year the tax collector must publish the delinquent list, which must contain the names of the persons, and description of the pro- perty delinquent, and the amount of taxes, penalties and costs due, and appended thereto a notice that unless the taxes delinquent, together with the costs and penalties are paid, the real property upon which such taxes are a lien will be sold. This delinquent list and notice must be published once a week for three successive weeks in some newspaper.

At the time fixed in the notice of the sale of property if the amount of tax and dues 'thereon are not paid, the land is struck off and sold by the tax collector to the state. A certificate of sale is then issued to the state. The property so sold may may be redeemed by the owner or any party in inter- est within five years from the date of the sale to the state, or at any time prior to the time the state sells the land. If the property is not redeemed within five years from the date of sale, the tax collector, or his successor in office, must execute a deed for the pro- perty to the state. This deed conveys to the state the absolute title to the property free of all incumbrances ; but the owner of the land, or any party in interest, may redeem the property from the state even after the execution of this deed, at any time before the state sells the land, by the payment of the original tax for which the land is sold, all penalties and dues, and all taxes which would have been assessed between the time of sale and the redemption.

Conveyances.

Land in this state is usually conveyed by deed called a "grant," which may be in the following form :

I, A. B,. grant to C. D. all that real property isituated in (insert name of county) county), state of California, bounded (or, described) as follows: (here insert description, or if the land sought to be conveyed has a descriptive name, it may be described by the name, as for instance, "The Norris Ranch").

Witness my hand this (insert day) day of (insert month (, 19... A. B.

Or by grant bargain and sale deed. No private or other seal is required, and no wit- nesses are necessary to the validity of the deed. Either husband or wife may convey his or her sep- arate property without the signature of the other. ♦Husband can convey community property not home- stead but to cut off any equities that might be

308 LAWS AND FORMS— CALIFORNIA

claimed tby wife, husband and wife should join in the conveyance of community property. The separate property of husband or wife is that owned by either before or at the time of marriage, and that acquired afterwards by gift, bequest, devise or descent, with the rents, issues and profits thereof. All other prop- erty acquired by either after marriage is community property.

All deeds are valid between the parties without being acknowledged, but to entitle it to record and make it valid as to other parties the execution of the deed should be acknowledged. This acknowledgement may be made without this state, but within the United States, and within the jurisdiction of the officer ; be- fore either a Justice, Judge or Clerk of any Court of record in the United States, or of any state, a com- missioner appointed by the Governor of this state for that purpose, a Notary Public oir any other officer of the state where acknowledgment is made, authorized by its laws to take such proof or acknowledgement. The acknowledgement may be made without the United States before either a Minister, Commissioner or Charge d* Affaires of the United States, resident and accredited in the country where the acknowledgement is made, or a Consul, Vice Consul or Consular agent of the United 'States resident in the country where the acknowledgement is made, or commissioners ap- pointed for such purposes by the Governor of the state or a notary public. When any of the officers above mentioned is authorized by law to appoint a deputy, the acknowledgement may be taken by such deputy in the name of his principal.

The following is the general form of certificate to be made by the officer taking the acknowledgement, to-wit :

Taxes.

Paya.ble in one or two installments on or before the last day of January and July, annually. Delin- quent February and August 1, annually.

Property owned and held in any county on the first day of May in each and any year shall be subject to tax assessment for such year. The state pays no part of the expenses incurred in the collection of taxes. A mortgagee may protect his interests by the payment of taxes on the mortgaged property, and reclaim the same with twenty-five per cent per annum. Such payment of tax is an additional lien upon the mortgaged prop- erty. Premptions and homestead entries are taxable before patent issued and if located before first of May are taxable for that year. Taxes may be paid one- half in January and one-half in July in each year. Where there is no agreement, on property purchased between December 31 and July 1, the grantee must pay the taxes, and where purchased between June 30 and January 1, the grantor must pay them. Property on which taxes remain unpaid is sold about October 1. It is the duty of every person subject to taxation to attend at the office of the treasurer between the first day of December and the first day of August of each fiscal year, and pay his taxes ; and if such person shall neglect and fail to pay such tax until after the first day of August following the levy of the same, the treasurer may make the same by distress and sale. All taxes shall be due and payable one-half on or before the last day of January and the balance on or before the last day of July of the year following- the one in which they are assessed. In case the first installment of one-half the tax is not paid prior to February 1, then there snail be assessed against such installment of tax a. penality of one per cent for each month or fractional part thereof until paid, provided

310 LAWS AND FORMS— COLORADO

it is paid prior to August 1. On the first of August the unpaid taxes of the preceding year become delin- quent and shall thereafter draw interest at the rate of 18 per cent per anum, but the treasurer shall con- tinue to receive payment of the same with interest until the day of sale for taxes. The county treasurer is required by law, prior to the 2 0th day of August in each year, to make out a list of all lands and town lots subject to sale, with an accompanying notice .stat- ing that so much of each tract of land or town lots described in said list as may be necessary for that purpose will on a day specified thereafter, be sold by him at public auction at the county treasurer's office for the taxes and charges thereton and taxes and charges against the owner thereof for personal property. Ditches and canals are exempt from taxation when they are used exclusively ib'y the owners or stockholders, but are subject to taxation when water is sold therefrom to consumers. Mining claims are taxable. The assessment of mining claims is based on the gross proceeds and is not to exceed one-fifth of the value of such gross proceeds, provided the value of the mining claims is over one thousand dollars. It is the duty of the town, city and county treasurers to mail notice to each person from whom taxes are due. The treasurer issues his certificate of sale to the purchaser of property at a tax sale. Such certificate of sale is assignable, and by 1899 law draws

2 4 per cent per annum interest for first six months, 18 per cent second six months and 12 per cent re- maining period. Prior to 1899 tax certificates drew

3 6 per cent first six months, 30 per cent second six months and 24 per cent thereafter. Purchasers may pay subsequent taxes. Land may be redeemed from such sale at any time within three years from date of sale, and at any time before the execution of the treasurer's deed, by the payment to the county treas- urer of the amount for. which the land was sold, with interest thereon from the date of sile at the rate per cent per annum bid by purchaser at such sale not to exceed the rate of 24 per cent per annum for the first six months, 18 per cent per annum for the subsequent six months and the remaining period at the rate of 12 per cent per annum together with the amount of alJ taxes accruing on said real estate after the sale paid by the purchaser and endorsed on his certificate of purchase with interest thereon at the rate of 12 per cent per annum on such taxes paid subse- quent to such sale. Provided that from the time when the purchaser is entitled to a deed such taxes shall bear interest at 8 per cent per annum arid no more up to the time of applying for said deed. After such three years, purchaser may have a deed from the treasurer which shall be prima facie evidence of the regularity of the treasurer's act in that behalf. Deeds issued on sales for special improvements in- stead of general taxes are not prima facie evidence of regularity of proceedings, but the holder of deed must prove regularity of proceedings in such cases. Taxes are a perpetual lien upon real estate and per-

sonal property until paid. Mortgagee may pay de- linquent taxes or redeem as aforesaid, and in fore- closure suits recover judgement for the amount with interest at 2 5 per cent per annum. Agents are liable to their principals for not listing. All moneys of non-residents kept and loaned and used within the state, for the purpose of investment and profit are subject to taxation the same as personal effects and choses in action of residents, but only for state, coun- ty and general school purposes. (The rate of taxation in Denver and other large cities is comparatively low.

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, July 1st, 1907, by Henry C. Stevenson, Attorney at Law, 83 Fairfield Avenue, Bridgeport, Conn.

Taxes.

On or before October 15th of eacn year the assessors of each town are required to give notice requiring all persons liable to pay taxes to bring in lists under oath, of the taxable property belonging to them on October 1st of the same year. Lists filled out are to be returned on or before November 1st, a separate description of each parcel of real estate being in- cluded. In the City of Bridgeport notice must be given on or .before September 1st ; and the lists are of prop- erty owned on September 1st and must be filed on or before October 1st.

If the resident taxpayer neglects to return such list, assessors are required to make a list for him and add ten percentum thereto.

Taxable property of non-residents is arranged by assessors in separate lists and valued by the assessors acording to the best information to be obtained.

When the assessors complete their lists, arranged in alphabetical order, they must -be lodged for public in- spection in the town clerk's office on or before January 15th, except in towns of over 10,000 inhabitants where they are lodged in the town clerk's or assessors office on or before January 31st.

All taxes are assessed as of October 1st (except in the City of Bridgeport where it is September 1st) and payable at various times, depending on the votes of each town, between March 1st and July 15th of the following year. As between grantor and grantee, if nothing is stated in the conveyance, the grantor in a deed dated after October 1st (in Bridgeport after September 1st) must pay the taxes. The grantee, however, must be prepared for the contingency of the grantor's default, for the taxes become a lien upon the real estate itself.

The rule of valuation is the present true and just value. Market value and not value at forced or auc- tion sale is considered. In actual practice real estate is put in the tax list, as a general rule, at about three-quarters of the market value ; in some towns as low as one-half ; and in Bridgeport at full value. All land to be set in the list of the town where situ- ated.

Collector gives notice toy a newspaper advertise- ment of the time and place of payment of taxes. Taxes not paid within one month after same become due draw interest at the rate of nine percentum. The time set by the collector to receive them is the time when taxes become due.

If any person fall to pay taxes, the collector makes demand on such person, if a resident of the town, or

LAWS AND FORMS-COI^NECTICUT 313

•t: 1 — . i

leaves a written demand at nis usual place of abode. If a non-resident of the town collector makes demand or deposits in the mail, postage prepaid, a written de- mand for such tax, addressed to last known address. After such demand, collector may levy on the taxable personality of such delinquent, as in executions, and in default of such personality he may enforce by levy and sale of any lien on real estate, or levy on body of delinquent.

Interest of any person in real estate which is leg-ally set in his tax list, shall be subject to a lien for such taxes as are laid on such interest. Such lien shall exist from the first day of October of the year previous to that in which taxes become due until one year after taxes are due. While lien exists and before it is continued by certificate it is subject to levy and sale completed before its expiration. Col- lector may bring suit for foreclosure of tax liens. Court limits time for redemption or orders sale of property.

The mode of selling land for taxes is as follows, briefly : Collector makes duplicate notices of his levy of tax warrant, containing name of tax payer, amount of tax, description of property, and time and place of sale, one of which is posted on sign post and the other filed in town clerk's office not more than ten weeks, nor less than nine, before time of sale. He also pub- lishes such notice at least once a week for three suc- cessive weeks in a town, or if none in the county, newspaper, beginning not more than ten nor less than nine weeks before time of sale.

He also mails a similar notice to the delinquent, and to any other persons who are interested. The sale is by public auction, and the collector sells enough of the estate to pay the tax and charges, and within one week after sale executes a deed to purchaser, which is lodged in the town clerk's office for one year unrecorded. If the delinquent or any other person interested in the estate, within the year pays or ten- ders to the purchaser the amount paid by him with in- terest at twelve per centum, the deed is delivered to to him, who, if not the person primarily liable for the tax shall have a claim against the person primarily liable for the tax, for the amount so paid. If pur- chase money and interest be not paid within the year, the deed shall be recorded and be of full effect.

Collector may continue the tax lien by recording a certificate to that effect in the town clerk's office with- in the first year after tax becomes due, and thereon the lien shall continue, with interest at seven instead of nine per centum, until paid. No sale is good unless notice is given to encumbrancers toy mail postage pre- paid at least four weeks before sale.

Conveyances.

All conveyances of land shall be in writing, sealed by the grantor, and subscribed with his own hand, or with his mark with his name thereto annexed, or by his attorney authorized for that purpose by a power

314 LAWS AND FORMS— CONNECTICUT

executed and acknowledged in the manner provided for conveyances. The deed must be acknowledged by the grantor or by such attorney, to be his free act and deed.

Two witnesses are required to properly execute a deed of real property, but a deed defective in this particular is good to convey the equitable title, and a deed of land in Connecticut executed in another state in accordance with the laws of such state is valid. The^ word"Seal" or the letters "L. S." are sufficfenL as a seal.

A wife need not join in the conveyance of husband's property, as dower only attaches to that property of which the husband dies siezed.

A wife married before April 20, 18 77, cannot give good title in a conveyance of her own real estate unless her husband joins or unless the husband and wife, during marriage, enter into a written contract for the mutual abandonment of all rights in the prop- erty of each other, and the acceptance instead, of the rights given by statute to persons married after April 20, 1877. A wife married after April 20, 1877, may convey her own property without joining her husband.

Acknowledgements may be taken, if in the state, by a judge of a court of record, a clerk of the superior, common pleas, or district court, a justice of the peace, commissioner of the superior court, notary public (with or without official seal), town clerk or assistant town clerk ; or if within any other state or territory of the IT. S., before a commissioner of the state of Connecti- cut residing in such state or territory, or any officer of such state or territory authorized by local law to take the acknowledgement of deeds. But no officer shall have power to take such acknowledgement except within the territorial limits in which he may perforin the proper duties of his office.

No conveyance shall .be effectual to hold lands against any other person but the grantor and his heirs, unless recorded on the records of the town in which the lands lie.

All conveyances of land of which the grantor is ousted by the entry and possession of another, unless made to the person in actual possession, shall be void.

The commission - and oath of office of a notary public must be recorded by the clerk of the superior court in the county in which such notary resides. Any notary public may exercise his functions at any place in the state. It is not necessary for a notary public

to state the date of expiration of his commission. (Form: Acknowledgement by Husband and Wife.) State of Connecticut, County of Fairfield, ss.

No dis count allowed. The semi-annual taxes are delinquent after the close of the months of May and November, and a penalty of one (1) per cent for each month is imposed on the amount of tax in arrears. The property is advertised for sale in pamphlet form by the District, and in the daily papers.

Two years are allowed in which to redeem property, after sold, by the payment of the taxes, penalty and costs due at t»he time of the offer of the sale and that may have accrued after that date, together with interest.

Taxes.

Owners of real estate should send a list of real estate owned by them to the County Tax Assessor >f the county where the land lies before the first )f January of each and every year, with the cor- rect name of the owner and his address in full. Blanks on which to make such list are furnished .by

the state, and can be procured from the County Tax Assessor on application, by enclosing- return post- age and sending name and address. If lands are not returned for taxes, they are assessed as unknown.

Taxes become a lien from the date of assessment, January 1st, of each year.

All taxes are due and payable on or after the first Monday of November of each year at the office of the Tax Collector at the county seat of the county where the lands lie and can be paid at any time prior to the first Monday in April, following. Taxes cannot be paid in installments and no discounts are allowed.

In remitting for taxes, the owner should send re- turn postage, and should give his address^ in full, with a request that the Tax Collector^ endorse his name and address in full on the tax receipt/ A carbon copy of the tax receipt is kept on file in the office of the Tax Collector, and in case of tax title com- plications, the owner would probably receive notice and be able to protect himself.

Taxes are delinquent after the first Monday in April. If not paid at that time, the land is adver- tised for sale, by publication in a newspaper published in the county where the lands lies, once each week for four consecutive weeks. At the time fixed for the sale the lands are sold before the County Court House, and tax certificate issued therefor.

Tax certificates may be redeemed at the office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court at the county seat of the county in which the land lies, at any time before tax deed issues, by payment of the amount of such certificate and interest at the rate of 25 pev' cent per annum, and 50 cents redemption fees, and at the time of such redemption the owner must also pay all taxes then due .on said lands and take up all outstanding tax certificates on same held by the state.

The holder of any tax certificate, on application to the clerk of the Circuit Court in the county where the land lies, two years after date of sale, is entitlei to a tax deed. The clerk is required to publish notice of application for tax deed in a newspaper published in the county where the lands lie for 30 days pre- ceding the issue of tax deed, and is required to mail a copy of the notice to the owner or the person to whom last assessed, in case his address is known to the clerk.

A tax title becomes void and of no effect, unless the purchaser of such tax title goes into actual possession of the land or brings suit within one year to recover possession.

Suits to set aside tax deeds must be begun within four years from the date of same.

Conveyances.

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for ^Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, May 1,1th, 1907, by J. H. Porter, Empire Building, Atlanta.

Taxes.

All property must be given in for taxation to the State and County Tax Receiver of the county where it is located, or in the case of certain corporations to the Comptroller General.

If the valuation at which it is returned is consid- ered too low the Tax Receiver may assess it within thirty days after the return is made, and if the tax payer is dissatisfied, arbitration is then had.

The state's part of the tax is assessed each year by the Governor and Comptroller General under the direction of the legislature upon the whole taxable property in the state, as soon as its value is ascer- tained.

The county's part of the tax is assessed upon all taxable property in the county, and its rate is fixed either by a Board of County Commissioners or by the County Ordinary.

The state and county taxes become a lien upon real estate sometime between January 1st and April 1st of each year. The exact day upon which they become a lien is fixed each year by a proclamation of the Governor.

State and county taxes are payable from October ,1st to December 20th, of each year. They are not payable in installments nor is any discount allowed for early payment.

After December 20th in each year fi. fas. may ,be issued and at once levied and the property subject to the tax be at once advertised and publicly sold after advertisement once a week for four weeks in a newspaper of the county where the property is lo- cated, and a tax deed may be made to the purchaser on the day of such sale.

Property that has been sold at tax sales may be redeemed at any time within a year by paying the purchaser the amount paid and ten per cent premium.

Taxes.

Cities and towns are sustained by municipal taxes, the levy and collection of which is governed by the laws of Arkansas, in so far as applicable. The as- sessment of personal property, lands, lots, etc., is made between the first Monday in February, and the 30th day of April of each year.

Personal property is assessed in name of person who is owner on first Monday in February. Per- sonality and realty is assessed at its true value in money, and taxes take precedence over all judge- ments, executions, encumbrances and liens, and are a lien on the property from the first Monday in Feb- ruary of year, in which assessment is made. ,As be- tween grantor 'and grantee the lien for taxes attaches on the first Monday in July of each year. Tax books are delivered to collector on or before first Monday In November.

N. R. At the last session of congress, an act was passed, called the "Enabling Act," authorizing the formation of a new state, out of the territories of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory.

Under the provisions of this act a Constitutional Convention is authorized to be held by delegates to be elected by the people, fifty-five from each terri- tory and two from the Osage Nation making a total of 112. These delegates have been elected and a constitution framed but the election upon the adop- tion of the same and for state and county officers, provided for in the enabling act has been temporarily enjoined by the court on account of a controversy growing out of a question as to the power of the constitutional convention to subdivide some of the larger counties in Oklahoma into smaller ones. It is thought however at this writing (June 17th) that the injunction will be dissolved toy the Supreme Court of Oklahoma on June 2.5th. If so, the Governor of Oklahoma will then call an election, of which 60 days notice must be given. At this election the people will vote upon the adoption of the constitution and elect a full quota of State and County Officers.

S'hould the constitution foe adopted, of which there appears to be no doubt, it then becomes the duty of the president to issue his proclamation, within 20 days, declaring the admission of the new state into the Union.

The constitution as drafted, subdivides the Indian Territory into counties, and, upon the issuance of the president's proclamation the two territories at once, become a fully organized state, with a complete organization in all its departments, including five representatives in congress. The first legislature will elect two United States senators.

In so far as applicable and in uniformity to the enabling act, all laws of Oklahoma will immediately become in force in the Indian Territory upon the admission of the new state.

Until the formal admission of the state, every- thing, including recording districts, in the Indian Ter- ritory, remains exactly the same as before the pas- sage of the enabling act. ,

Taxes.

Taxes are assessed on real and personal property on the 1st day of March of each year, and on basis of a fair cash value. They are liens from jand after March 1st of each year, and are payable^from Jan- uary 1st until the first Monday of May^ following-. Taxes become delinquent after that date. S'ame may be paid in two installments, one-half before the first Monday of May and the other half on or before the first Monday in November. Failures to pay first installment when due makes it become de- linquent and 10 per cent penalty is added, and upon failure to pay second installment, a penalty of 6 per cent on amount of tax accrued is added. If not paid by second Monday in February the property on that day will be sold by treasurer for payment of taxes and penalties. The property may be redeemed within six months by payment of amount bid with 10 per cent penalty, if redeemed after six months and within one year the penalty added is 15 per cent ; if redeemed after one year and before two years, the penalty added is 25 per cent. At the expiration of two years the purchaser receives a tax deed and no redemption can thereafter be made. Infants and in- sane persons may redeem within two years after the removal of itheir disabilities.

Tax titles are not absolute, as a substantial com- pliance with provisions of the tax law is necessary, and failure of same may be shown by owner and deed defeated, but in such case the purchaser is en- titled to a lien for amount paid and may foreclose, and have sale by sheriff and from which sale there is no redemption.

Property of transients who at any time during any year may locate in any township, city, town or village, and offer merchandise for sale shall be appraised, entered on tax duplicate and taxes col- lected immediately.

Conveyances.

Husband and wife must join in all conveyances of realty. (No witnesses needed unless parties sign by mark. A married woman cannot go security for hus- band or any other person, and if she does, same is void ; likewise any mortgage given to secure same. She is, however, estopped if she makes a separate instrument under oath that loan was for her own use and benefit.

Taxes.

Due and payable to the county treasurer January 1, annually. Delinquent April, annually. May be paid in one or two installments.

Property is listed at its actual value, which means its value in the market in the ordinary course of trade. Twenty-five per cent of this actual value is the assessed and taxable value. State and county taxes become due and payable on the first Monday of January, and one-half thereof may be paid before the first day of March succeeding the levy, and the remaining one-half before the first day of Septem- ber following ; provided, where the half has not been paid before the first day of April succeeding the levy, the whole tax shall become delinquent from the first day of March following the levy. If the second in- stallment be not paid before the first day of October succeeding the levy, it shall be delinquent. All de- linquent taxes draw interest at the rate of one per cent per month until paid. Personal property is liable to distress and sale for all taxes, and the tax list is the warrant therefor. Taxes on stocks of goods or • merchandise are and continue a lien thereon when sold in bulk, and may be collected from the owner, purchaser or vendee. Taxes on personal and real property are made a perpetual lien on real property. Lands are sold on the first Monday in December after taxes become delinquent, after notice in a newspaper published in the county for three weeks, last pub- lication one week prior to sale. Three years are al- lowed in which to redeem by payment of amount for

332 LAWS AND FORMS-IOWA

which lands were sold, with 8 per cent penalty, and S per cent per annum interest upon the whole amount. Before a valid tax deed can be executed the owner of the tax sale certificate must, after two years and nine months from the tax sale, give to the person to whom the said land is assessed, and the person in actual possession, written notice that deed will be taken in ninety days hence. Where land is assessed unknown and is unoccupied, no notice is necessary. A non-resident may file with the treasurer of the county a written appointment as his_ agent of some resident of the county where the land is situated, upon whom personal service must be made. Taxes become a lien as .between vendor and vendee December 31 of each year. Citv taxes are levied by the city coun- cil and collected by the county treasurer, the maxi- mum levies being fixed by law. In a few cities under sp< cial charters, the assessment levy, collection and tax sales are made in. accordance with their charters.

LAWS OF KANSAS

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for .Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, June 1, ,1907, by Rossington & Smith, of the Topeka Bar.

Taxes.

Taxes upon all real property, not expressly ex- empted therefrom, are assessed upon the actual money value of the property.

As between grantor and grantee, where there is no express agreement as to taxes, if land is con- veyed between the first day of March and the first day of November, the grantee shall pay the taxes that may be assessed thereon for that year, but if conveyed between the first day of November and the first day of March then the grantor shall pay them.

The realty tax becomes a lien upon the property November first and is payable to the county treas- urer, one-half on or 'before December 20, and one- half on or before June 20, of each year. If the whole tax is paid on or before December 20 a rebate of five per cent is allowed on the second half ; tout if the first half be not paid on or before December 20, the whole tax immediately toecomes due and is sub- ject to a penalty of five per cent thereon ; and to all tax unpaid on June 21 following an additional five per cent penalty is added and the property goes to tax sale.

All property to be sold at tax sale must be adver- tised four consecutive weeks prior to the sale in some newspaper published or (if none published) of general circulation within the county, and sold on the first Tuesday of September following.

The purchaser at tax sale upon payment of the purchase price receives a certificate entitling him to tax deed in three years, if the property is not re- deemed within that time by payment to the county treasurer of the amount for which said land was sold, and all subsequent taxes and charges thereon paid toy the purchaser, or his assigns, with interest at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum.

In counties where the commissioners have adopted the provisions of a statute providing therefor they may authorize the county treasurer to bid off in the name, of the county all lands sold for taxes, and receive- no other bids thereon. All lands thus Nbid off in the name of the county shall toe held toy the county until the expiration of the three years from the date of sale, subject only to the right of the owner, his heirs, administrators, assigns, and mort- gages of real estate sold for taxes, or his assigns, to redeem th'e same. After the expiration of three l years from the date upon which lands are so bid off by the county, tax deed may issue thereon, or if said lands are unredeemed, and no person shall offer to purchase the same for the taxes, penalties and costs due thereon, the county commissioners may permit the owner to redeem the same, or may au- thorize the county treasurer to execute and the county

334 LrAWS AND FORMS— KANSAS

clerk to assign tax-sale certificates for such lands for any sum less than the legal tax and interest thereon, as shall be in their judgment for the best interest of the county : Provided, that no deed shall be issued upon any certificate so assigned until six months after such assignment has <been made.

Any interest of a minor may ibe redeemed from tax sale during his minority, or within one year after majority; and of idiots and insane persons within five years after sale.

A tax deed is void unless recorded in the office of the register of deeds of the proper county within six months from the date of the issuance thereof, but when so recorded vests the purchaser with the legal title to the land, which can ,be avoided only for fatal irregularities in the proceedings or sale. If in proper form and duly acknowledged the deed is prima facie evidence of the regularity of all proceed- ings. Suits to avoid the sale or conveyance of lands sold for taxes must oe commenced within five years from the time of recording of the tax deed ; and a party who seeks to recover lands sold for taxes, claiming under a tax deed, must bring his action within two years after his cause of action accrues.

Where a tax deed holder is defeated in an action for the recovery of the land the successful claimant shall, before being let into posession, pay to the holder of the tax deed or party claiming thereunder, the full amount of all taxes paid on such lands, with all in- terest and cost allowed by law up to the date of said tax deed ; including the cost of such deed and all sub- sequent taxes together with interest thereon at the rate of twelve per cent per annum.

Conveyances.

The wife should join with her husband in the con- veyance ; but this is not necessary if at the time of the making of the deed she has never been a resi- dent of the state, unless the land to be conveyed is the homestead. The husband must join with the wife in a conveyance of the wife's separate property. The wife need not be examined apart from her hus- band, nor relinquish her dower.

All taxable property shall be listed and assessed each year at its actual cash value. The city taxes in New Orleans become delinquent after the first of July, state taxes after December 31. City taxes bear 10 per cent per annum penalties, state taxes 2 per cent per month from 31st of December. Where owner is known, al real property must be assessed in owner's name. Separate list is made of property belonging to unknown owners. The property must be properly described.

In January , State Auditor provides printed form of returns of assessment which assessors distribute and property owners are required to fill up under oath and return to assessor before Maylst in Parishes, and within twenty days after receipt of list in New Orleans. If no return is made assessment cannot be contested. Outside of Orleans Parish assessors must complete assessments prior to June 1, and give ten days published notice that their books will be open twenty days for inspection and correction. In Orleans assessments completed March 15th ; books open March 16th to 31st inclusive. While the ibooks are open dissatisfied tax payer must file sworn pro- test against assessment. If same is rejected he may apply to Board of Reviewers which meets first Mon- day of July, in the Parishes or before Committee of Assessment of City Council which meets April 1st to April 10th in Orleans, and urge his complaints contradictorily with the Assessors. If these tribu- nals decide against him, he may prior to November 1st, appeal to the courts.

As soon as assessment rolls are completed they must be filed with the recorder of mortgages. The taxes act as first lien from day of recordation. Property on which taxes are delinquent can be sold by tax collect- ors after proper advertisement without intervention of court proceedings. State constitution requires that where owner is known he must be served personally or at domicile with demand before valid sale can be made. Taxes on movable property are due on the first of the month succeeding the filing of the tax roll.

The following property shall be exempt from tax- ation and no other : viz : All public property, places of religious worship o>r burial ; the rectories and parsonages of churches and grounds thereunto ap- purtenant, used .exclusively as residences for the ministers in charge of such churches; all charitable institutions, all buildings and property used exclusive- ly for public monuments and historical collections ;

Property of military or- ganizations and state national guard is also exempt.

One year from date of recordation of act of sale is allowed in which to redeem. At the end of that period if redemption has not been made, a tax deed will issue. If all formalities have been complied with the tax title becomes absolute one year after date of recordation. Under an article of the cons-titution they are supposed to become absolute, in any event, after three years unless sale was made under dual assessment.

Conveyances.

On all deeds passed in this state acknowledgements must be witnessed by two male witnesses over the age of sixteen years and the deed should be signed by vendee also. Private seals are not necessary.

LAWS OF MARYLAND

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for .Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, May 20, 1907, by Jacob Rohr- back of Frederick, Md.

Taxes.

State taxes are levied by an act of the legislature,

LAWS AND FORMS- MARYLAND 343

the rate being fixed every two years. County taxes are assessed by the county commissioners of the respective counties each year about the months of May, June or July, on a basis cf about 70 per cent of the actual market value of the property and are a lien thereon from the date of their levy. They are payable in one installment to the county treasurer or district collector, as the case may .be, and become delinquent on January 1st next, succeeding their levy, from which Mate they bear interest at the rate of 6 per cent per annum. On all state taxes paid prior to September 1st, of the year for which they are levied, a discount of 5 per cent of the amount is allowed, on those paid prior to October 1st, a discount of 4 per cent is allowed and those paid prior to November 1st, a discount of 3 per cent is allowed. No discount is allowed on county taxes. On January 1st next succgding their levy, if taxes are still un- paid, collector will notify delinquents of the amount due and that thirty days thereafter he will proceed to collect same by distress or execution. He then levies upon the property of the delinquent and after giving twenty days notice of time and place of sale, oy advertisement in at least one newspaper in the county or city where property is located and by a notice posted at the court house door, will sell the property at public auction to the highest bidder for cash. Twelve months from the date of sale are allowed in which to redeem property which may be done toy paying into the circuit court, to toe paid to the purchaser, the purchase price with interest there- on at the rate of 15 per cent per annum from date of sale. At the expiration of one year from date of sale, if redemption has not been made, a tax deed, conveying absolute title to the purchaser will be executed.

Conveyances.

It is necessary that a private seal toe made in order to convey title of a grantor and all deeds or other conveyances must bear the signature of at least one legal witness.

It is not necessary for a notary public when taking an acknowledgement to state in his certificate the date of expiration of his certificate.

Dower right exists in this state and in order to convey good title the wife must join her husband in executing all conveyances. It is likewise necessary that the husband join with the wife in conveying real property, held or owned by her at any time during the marriage. A married woman may ap- point a trustee toy her separate deed and has all the power to dispose of her property of every descrip- tion by deed, mortgage, lease, will or other instru- ment that husbands have to dispose of their prop- erty, and no more. If, however, a married woman be under eighteen years of age no conveyance made by her shall toe valid unless her husband unites therein. A married woman acknowledges an instru- ment the same as a male grantor and need not toy specific words state that she releases her dower. The language "grant" and "convey" conveys her dower right and any further right she* may have- in the estate.

Taxes.

Due and payable between July 1 and October 1, annually. Delinquent October 1, annually.

Taxes are assessed and collected by the cities and towns. The legislature apportions state and county taxes. Corporations are subject to franchise tax, so that stock in companies incorporated under the laws of Massachusetts are not liable to assessment direct, but pay to the state a tax substantially equivalent to the rate of taxation on other property. Certain religious, charitable and educational institutions are exempt. The assessment is as of May 1, and lien takes effect as of that date for each year's taxes. Real estate is not subject to double taxation.. That is, it is apportioned between mortgagor and ' mort- gagee, unless, as is usually the case, the mortgagor agrees to pay all taxes, In case of sale of real estate for non-payment of taxes, there is two year's right of redemption.

Conveyances.

To be valid conveyances of real estate must 'be under seal, a scroll being insufficient. Witnesses are not necessary. Release of dower must be explicitly stated in deed, wife's merely joining in being insuf- ficient.

LAWS AND FORMS — MICHIGAN 345

LAWS OF MINNESOTA

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, June 10th, 1907, by Richardson & Day, of the Duluth Bar.

Taxes.

Lands are required by law to be assessed at their true value.

Taxes on real estate for a given year become a lien thereon on the first day of May of that year, but as between grantor and grantee such lien does not attach until first Monday in January following from which time and until May 31st, the tax may be paid without penalty or interest. Taxes are pay- able to the county treasurer. OnvJune 1st, a penalty of 10 per cent attaches to taxes ^unpaid, and on the first Monday of January thereafter, the taxes yet unpaid, become delinquent, and a further penalty of 5 per cent' attaches.

If amount of tax exceeds $1.00, one-half may be paid prior to June 1st, and the ten per cent penalty on the ibalance, is postponed to November 1st, at- taching then to second half only in case of non-pay- ment prior to that date. While any taxes are due the state, a deed can not be recorded.

On or before February 1st, the county auditor files the delinquent list with the county clerk, who within

LAWS AND FORMS-MINNESOTA 347

five days, issues notices for publication, equivalent bo a summons, that judgment will be taken against the land in default of answer, alter twenty days. Xu notice is required except the published notice de- scribing the several tracts and amount due on each. The tax sale, under the judgment, is had beginning on the second Monday of the following May, upon notice by the county auditor, posted at least ten days before sale and twice published in a newspaper, the first time at least fifteen days before sale.

The land is sold to the bidder who will bid the amount due thereon at the lowest rate of interpst not greater than 12 p^r cent. It is bid in for the state at amount due and at rate of 12 per cent if no one bids such amount at a lower rate.

SUibsequi nt taxes thereafter becoming delinquent may, before sale of land therefor, be paid by the holder of a tax certificate, and the same, bearing 12 per cent interest, attaches to his certificate. After lapse of three years from date of tax sale, the holder of tax certificate may present same to the county auditor, who will issue a notice of expiration of re- demption to the person in whose name the land is assessed. Sixty days after service of such notice upon party to whom land is assessed, or upon occu- pant, or by publication in default of either the right of redemption is barred, and the tax title becomes ab- solute. The right to redeem exists until such notice is given.

The tax certificate itself then becomes a deed en- lit led to record. It can not be recorded before ex- piration of redemption period.

Lands sold to the state and not redeemed within three years are no longer redeemable, but such lands are subsequently sold as forfeited lands and a notice of expiration of redemption must be given by the purchaser substantially as in other tax sales, where- upon if not redeemed a deed is issued to the pur- chaser by the state.

Taxes.

Real estate is assessed once in four years, it its actual value, as a basis of valuation for taxation. Such assessment is subject to annual amendment to cover improvements. Taxes are levied in June of each year ; become a lien October 1st, and become delinquent May 1st of the following year, after which time they :bear ten per cent interest. The rate of taxation is fixed by state iboard, on ibasis of one- fifth of the actual valuation. Lands are sold in No- vember of each year for delinquent taxes. Two years thereafter (and until deed issued) are allowed the owner or lienor of such lands for redemption. There- upon, and at any time within three years there- after, if not redeemed, treasurer's deed may issue. Instead of taking deed, or upon the surrender of the same, the tax-purchaser may foreclose his lien, at any time within three years after the expiration of such redemption period. The owner of land, in such case, has an additional two years, after such fore- closure sale, to redeem therefrom. If the tax-pur- chaser fail to take out deed, or to commence fore- closure proceedings, within five years from such tax- sale, his lien becomes barred. If the tax-sale .be to a city, county or village, foreclosure proceedings may ibe commenced immediately. After action is com- menced, the land owner becomes liable for court costs, taxes, interest at 15 per cent, and 10' per cent at-

Taxes. .

Taxes are assessed between the date of the levy and the 1st Monday in September, in each year, on an actual cash value 'basis, and become a lien on real property the day they are levied. They are due and payable between the 1st Monday in November, and the 1st Monday in December, annually, to the ex- officio tax receiver.

If not paid they become delinquent at the close of official business on the 1st Monday in December of each year, after which date a penalty of 10 per cent is added. A list of delinquent taxes must be com- pleted by the second Monday in December each year, and the auditor shall immediately cause a copy there- of to be printed in at least one newspaper published in his county, for not less than one, nor more than four weeks. And if no newspaper be published in the county, then a copy of said list shall be posted by the auditor in at least five conspicuous places within the county. The cost of publication is charged to the delinquent tax payer.

On the third Monday in January next succeeding second Monday in December, the treasurer makes out in duplicate a certificate, dated the day of sale, stating (when known) the name of the person as- sessed, a description of the land sold, the amount paid therefor, that it was sold for taxes, giving amount and year of assessment, and specifying the time when the purchaser will be entitled to a deed, if the property is not sooner redeemed.

iSix months are allowed within which to redeem after sale, at the expiration of which period, if prop- erty has not been redeemed, a tax deed issues and title becomes absolute after sale under judgment of the court. On all delinquent taxes which exceed the sum of three hundred dollars the district attorney must bring suit.

Conveyances.

Witnesses and private seals are not necessary to the validity of a deed.

Husband and wife must join in conveying a home- stead, whether a declaration thereof has been filed or not, but the husband's name will suffice in con- veying community or separate property. A married woman can convey her own separate estate without the consent of her husband, but she must acknowl- edge such conveyance separate and apart from her husband and the certificate must state that fact. Her deed must be acknowledged; it cannot be proved by a subscribing witness.

Taxes.

The general laws of the state relating to taxa- tion are contained- in what is known as the "Tax Law," which was enacted in 1896.

This law applies generally to all parts of the state, except the City of New York, in which many of the provisions of the tax law are modified by the Oreater New York charter, particularly as to time and mode of assessment and the time when taxes are payable.

All real property within tne state, and all person- al property situated or owned within the state, is taxable, unless exempt from taxation by law. Real estate 'is taxable in the city, town or district where it is situated, and personal property in the city, town or district where its owner, if a resident of the state, resides.

Non-residents of the state doing business in the state are taxed on the capital invested in such busi- ness as personal property at the place where such business is carried on.

In the City of New York, the assessment rolls of all real and personal property are made up between September 1st and December ,1st. The rolls or tax books are open between the second Monday of Jan- uary and the 31st of March during which time ap- plications may -be made to correct assessments. Taxes are payable on October 1st following and up to December 1st, after which interest accrues. If not paid by January 15th, warrants for their collection will ibe issued, under which property may be levied upon.

In other parts of the state, outside of the City of New York, the assessment rolls are made up be- tween May 1st and July 1st, and are open for cor- rection from August 1st to the third Tuesday of August. Taxes are payable on or before February 15th following.

Corporations are taxable for state purposes, and are also taxable in the cities or towns in which they are located. The state tax is comparatively small and is based upon the rate of dividends paid, if any, or if not, upon the appraised value of the capital stock.

Corporations engaged in manufacturing within the state are exempt from the state tax to the extent of the amount of their capital employed in manufact- uring.

Corporations are required to file reports with the state comptroller on or before November 15 th in each year, upon which report is ibased the state taxes

Taxes.

By uniform rule taxes on tooth real and personal property are assessed as of April 1st, are due and payable in one installment, to the treasurer on Decem- ber 1st, and as between grantee and grantor become a lien on real estate December 1st.

Real property taxes, if unpaid, ibecome delinquent March 1st on which date a 3 per cent penalty is added. Additional penalties of 3 per cent April 1st and June 1st following, and on November 1st follow- ing, if still unpaid, a further penalty of 5 per cent attaches.

After publication of delinquent lists in a newspaper for three consecutive weeks, the first publication to be not less than nineteen days prior to date of sale, all real estate is sold for non-payment of taxes on the first Tuesday of December of each year at public auction, to the bidder who will pay the total amount of taxes and costs and who will agree to accept the lowest rate %of interest from the 'date of sale on the amount of such taxes, penalties and costs so paid by him, not exceeding 24 per cent per annum.

Personal property taxes, if unpaid, become delin- puent March 1st on which date a 5 per cent penalty is added together with 1 per cent per month interest, on the amount until paid. Three years are allowed in which to redeem land from tax sale, at the end of which period, if unredeemed, a tax deed will issue, provided ninety days notice of expiration of re- demption period has been given but no deed will issue until after notice. Title to property becomes absolute three years after deed has been recorded, Taxes are a perpetual lien upon real estate after they become due. A tax deed is conclusive evidence of the truth of all the facts therein recited, and prima facie evi- dence of the regularity of all proceedings from the valuation of the land ^by the assessor up to the exe- cution of the deed. The sale of land for taxes is not invalid on account of such lands having been listed or charged on the duplicate in any other name than that of the rightful owner.

The right of the purchaser at tax sales cease abso- lutely and are deemed forfeited and extinguished six years from and after the date of the certificate, unless possession is taken or a tax deed executed and de- livered prior thereto.

Conveyances*

No witnesses nor private seals necessary. Notaries must give in their certificates the date of the expiration of their commission.

The wife need not join in a conveyance of land belonging to her husband, nor 3s it necessary that the husband shall join in conveyance of wife's land, pro- vided in either case that the land is not a homestead. (Certificate in case of Natural Persons.)

The city treasurer of Providence shall perform all the duties and exercise all the powers which by law are imposed and conferred upon collectors of taxes.

Collectors shall collect taxes levied by the time directed by board of assessors for the payment thereof.

Property in this state is assessed for its full val- uation and taxes are a lien thereon, whether or not the property changes hands, and even if taxed in the name of a wrong person. The time for payment of taxes varies from spring until fall, being fixed by the warrant to the assessors of taxes for the differ- ent towns and cities. Taxes are payable in one installment to either the town or city treasurer or the collector of taxes. If not paid on or ibefore the time fixed for payment interest is due at the rate of 8 per cent. If still unpaid it is customary to sell the property for non-payment of taxes in the spring of the year following their assessment. iSale is made at public auction, to the highest cash ibidder, after ad- vertising the property for three consective weeks in a newspaper of general circulation, by posting notices in two cohspicious places in the town or city for the

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, June 1st, 1907, toy J. C. Otts, of Gaffney, <S. C.

Taxes.

Taxes must foe assessed between the dates of Jan- uary 1st and February 20th, of each year, on a basis of 62 1-2 per cent of the actual value of the property as determined .by the Board of Equalization. As be- tween grantee and grantor they should toe paid by the person holding title January 1st, for that year, but are a lien on real estate after the personal prop- erty of the owner is exhausted. They are due and payable to the treasurer of the county wherein the land is located, in one installment, from October 15th to December 31st of each year. If unpaid a penalty of 1 per cent attaches January 1st, a penalty of 2 per cent if not paid before Peibruary ,1st, and a penalty of 5 per cent if not paid ibefore the 15th of March, after which date execution is issued iby the county treasurer, in name of the state, and if the delinquent has not sufficient personal property in the county the real estate is levied upon toy the sheriff and after adver- tisement in a county newspaper, or on court house door, if no newspaper is published in the county, for three weeks preceding the date of sale, is sold for cash, at the door of the court house, on a regular sales day. Two years from date of sale is allowed for redemption. If not redeemed within this period title (becomes absolute in the purchaser.

382 LAWS AND FORMS— SOUTH CAROLINA

Conveyances.

To be valid all conveyances of real estate must bear the signatures of two legal witnesses, to the execu- tion thereof, and be under the seal (scroll with a pen will do) of grantor.

In conveying real estate only the signature of the person in whom title rests is necessary, and if the grantor be a married man his wife must renounce her dower to the grantee by executing a peculiar form of release prescribed by statute.

If not paid on or before November 30th a penalty of 5 per cent attaches and if the same with the taxes are not paid -by July 1st following, the property is sold in the following manner.

It is provided that .the clerk shall make a copy of the delinquent list, and shall deliver it to the treasurer of his county or corporation. Within thirty days, the treasurer shall post a printed copy thereof in at least five public places in each ward, if in a city, and if in a county, at the front door of the court house on the first day of the county court, and also a printed copy thereof in at least five public places in each magis- terial district in the county. He is also to distribute other printed copies in such ways as he may deem proper to secure general publicity of the time and place of sale of lands therein mentioned as delinquent.

Or, in lieu of thus posting the printed copies in the public places aibove mentioned, the auditor of public accounts may direct a copy of the list to !be inserted once in a newspaper published in the county or city where the delinquent lands are situated.

To each copy thus printed and published, the treas- urer shall attach a notice that the real estate or so much as shall be necessary to satisfy the taxes, levies, interests, costs and charges due thereon, will be sold at public auction on the first day of the following November or December court, between the hours of 10 a. m. and 4 p. m., in front of the court house, un- less the amount due shall be previously paid to the treasurer.

A period of two years from date of sale is allowed in which to redeem, after which, if redemption has not been made, tax deeds issue and the title becomes absolute.

It is, however, provided that if the deed is not ob- tained within a year after right to call for same ac- crues, then the former owner, his heirs or assigns, may redeem land at any time before the deed is ac- tually made. If an individual does not purchase at the sale conducted as outlined, the property is bought in by the state through its officers, and when so ac- quired an individual may at any time before the taxes

City and county taxes vary in amount in different localities.

LAWS OF WASHINGTON

Relative To

TAXES AND CONVEYANCES.

Prepared expressly for Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, May 23rd, 1907, by William H. Pratt, of Taeoma.

Taxes.

Due and payable on the first Monday in February annually. Delinquent June 1, annually.

The fiscal year .begins on the first day of April, and taxes are payable the succeeding year on real estate to the county treasurer, as follows : On or before the first day of February, after which they become delinquent and bear interest at the rate of 1>5 per cent, provided, however, if the taxes are equal to one dollar, one-half may be paid on or before the 31st day of May and the remainder will be extended without interest and may be paid on or before the 30th day of November following; but if the remaining half is not paid on or before the 30 th day of Novem- ber, then it becomes delinquent and bears interest at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum. A discount of 3 per cent is allowed on taxes assessed against real estate if paid prior to March 15th of the year in which they are due and payable. After taxes on real estate are delinquent, the county treasurer is authorized to issue and sell certificates of such delinquency to any- one who desires to purchase the same, which certifi- cates bear interest at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum. Certificates of delinquency are prima facie evidence that the property described was subject to taxation at the time the same was assessed; that the property was assessed as required by law ; that the taxes or assessments were not paid at any time be- fore the issuance of the certificate ; and that such cer- tificate shall have the same force and effect as a judgment execution and sale of and against the prem- ises included therein." Three years after the first day of December next following the date of delin- quency, the holder of the certificate is required to give notice to the owner of the property, that he will apply to the superior court of the county in which the property is situated for a judgment foreclosing the lien against the property mentioned ; and the cer- tificate holder is authorized to proceed by an action in court to foreclose his lien for the taxes and interest and have the property sold and thus clear the title. When any property remains on the assessment roll for which no certificate of delinquency has been sold, the treasurer is required to issue a certificate to the county or municipality entitled thereto, and deliver the certificate to the clerk of the county, and the same proceedings are to be had in the courts to obtain title as in the case of sale of the certificate to an individual.

Personal taxes become due and payable after thirty day's notice, given in February after the levy of taxes, and if not paid at the expiration of thirty days, the treasurer is authorized to distrain the personal prop- erty and sell the same for the payment of the taxes.

IyAWS AND FORMS— WASHINGTON 393

Anyone owning real estate in the county may notify the treasurer to charge his personal taxes to his real estate, and can then pay the same at the same time and same manner as he pays his taxes on his real estate. The treasurer also has the right to charge the personal taxes to the real estate of the party who owes the personal taxes, on the assessment roll, and thus make the personal taxes a lien on the realty.

Conveyances.

No witnessess or private seals are necessary to the validity of deeds.

The husband and wife must join in the conveyance of all real estate which has .been acquired subsequent to marriage.

All property acquired by either spouse prior to marriage, or acquired by inheritance subsequent to marriage, is designated separate property and may be conveyed by either without the other joining in the transfer.

Prepared expressly for Montgomery's Real Estate and Legal Directory, June 1st, 1907, by Williams, Scott and Lovett, of Huntington.

Taxes.

The assessment of taxes ibegins April 1st annually, and should toe completed toy June 20th. All property shall be assessed at its true and actual value, that is to say, at the price at which such property would sell if voluntarily offered for sale by the owner thereof, upon such terms as such property, the value of which is sought to toe ascertained, is usually sold, and not the price which might be realized if such property was sold at a forced sale. A special as- sessment of real estate has toeen made for the years 190 6, 1907 and 1908, and the values thereby ascer- tained will toe used for purposes of taxation till the year 1909 ; beginning with the year 1909, all real estate, as well as personal property, will toe assessed annually at the true and actual value, as aforesaid.

As 'between the grantor and grantee, taxes on real estate are a lien as of the first day of April of each year.

The sheriff is directed to commence the collection yearly on August 1st, or as soon thereafter as he receives copies of the land and personal property books. In practice the collection usually toegins about October 1st. While the sheriff, as ex-officio treas- urer, is directed to collect, no demand for taxes is necessary, and it is the duty of every person sub- ject to taxation to attend to the assessment and payment of taxes within the time limited toy law.

They are payable at one time, and no provision is made for payment toy installments.

The sheriff is ex-officio treasurer of the county, and of all school districts therein, and to him all state, county and district taxes must toe paid.

A discount of two and ope-half per centum is made when taxes are paid on or before the last day of November.

They are returned delinquent on or before the first Monday in June of the year succeeding the year for which they are assessed, with interest added at the rate of twelve per centum until they are paid. If real estate is redeemed after it is returned delinquent; interest will toe added at the rate of twelve per centum per annum, and when redeemed after a sale, a com- mission of five per centum to the sheriff, costs of sale, and such taxes as may have been paid thereon by the purchaser, with interest on the same, will be added. Before it is returned delinquent, notice is given toy publication for two weeks in two newspapers, and posting at the front door of the court house.

LAWS AND FORMS— W^ST VIRGINIA 395

On or before November 1st in each year, the auditor of state certifies to the sheriff of every county the real estate delinquent for non-payment of taxes in any previous year. Within ten days thereafter, the sheriff causes a notice of sale to he published for four successive weeks in a newspaper and posted for the same time at the front door of the court house, and on the first day of the next November or December term of the circuit or county court, whichever may ,be held first, or if no term of either be held in said months, then on the second Monday in December next thereafter, the real estate is sold for the said taxes, interest, costs and commission, at public auction at the front door of the court house.

Real estate may be redeemed within one year from the sale, by paying to the purchaser the amount paid by him thereon and such additional taxes as may have been paid ,by the purchaser, with interest on said purchase money and taxes at the rate of twelve per centum per annum from the time they were paid, or if the state purchased, by paying" into the state treasury, within one year after the sale, the amount of all taxes with interest and costs. An infant, married woman or insane person, whose real estate may have been sold during such disability may re- deem the same within one year after the removal of such disability, 'by paying the taxes, purchase money, interest and costs, and such additional taxes as may have been made by the purchaser, with interest on the said items at the rate of six per centum per an- num from the time the same were paid.

A deed may be made to the purchaser of land sold by the sheriff for taxes, after the expiration of one year from the sale, by the clerk of the county court.

Title becomes absolute after the expiration of one year after the sale, subject to the saving as to per- sons under disability.

When the state is the purchaser, title vests abso- lutely at the expiration of one year, but the land must be sold by the state in a suit in equity insti- tuted by the commissioner of school lands for the county, and at any time before a final decree in that suit, the former owner may redeem.

Conveyances.

A signature to a deed need not be witnessed. A deed must be executed under seal, and the seal of a natural person may be made by affixing to the signature a scroll, or adopting as a seal any scroll, written, printed or engraved on the paper by another.

A wife must join in a conveyance of real estate of the husband, in order to release her right of dower therein. A husband conveys his right to courtesy by joining with the wife in the conveyance, and a deed by a married woman to her real estate is void un- less the husband joins.

A married woman living separate and apart from her husband, or having a husband who is non compos mentis, may convey real estate which is her sole and separate property, if such facts be recited in the deed, and if it is proven to the satisfaction of the officer taking the acknowledgement that it is her

sole and separate property, and she is living separate and apart from her husband, or that her husband is non compos mentis, and it is stated in the certificate of such acknowledgement that all of said facts were shown to the satisfaction of the person taking the same.

The acknowledgement of the wife may be taken together with or separately from her husband. If both acknowledge the writing at the same time, the certificate shall be used as hereafter shown, and if she acknowledge it separately, the same certificate shall be used, except that in lieu of the words be- tween the stars, the words should be, "do certify that the wife of " When the acknowl- edgement of a married woman has been so taken and certified, the writing operates to convey her dower in the real estate embraced in the writing and all interest of every sort therein.

The following form of acknowledgement is prescrib- ed by the code when husband and wife acknowledge -a deed of conveyance jointly :

State (territory or district) of , County

of , to-wit :

The certificate of acknowledgement of a corpora- tion or joint stock association should be in form or effect as prescribed in the form of husband and wife down to the first star, and then as follows :

"do certify that personally appeared before

And the

said . acknowledged the said writing to toe the

act and deed of said corporation (or association)."

Acknowledgements are taken before a justice, notary public, recorder, prothonatary or clerk of any court within the United States, or commissioner appointed by the governor of this state.

cial agent or vice-commercial, agent appointed toy the government of the United States, to, any foreign country, or the proper officer of any ' court of such country, or mayor or other ' chief magistrate of any city, town or corporation, and certified under the official seal of any such person. If an acknowledge- ment be before a notary without the state, he shall certify the same under his official seal.

A deed is necessary to convey real estate or any interest therein for more than five years. It must be acknowledged in order to toe recorded, and is void as to creditors and subsequent purchasers, for val- uable consideration without notice, until duly admit- ted to record in the county in which the real estate embraced in the deed lies.

It is not necessary that a notary public, certify- ing an acknowledgement within this state, shall state in his certificate the date of expiration of his com- mission ; nor is it necessary that a notary public in another state, so far as the law of West Virginia is concerned, when certifying acknowledgements to toe used in! West Virginia, shall state in his certificate the date of expiration of his commission, unless the law of the state in which the acknowledgement is taken requires him so to do.

GRAIN MEASURE.

The standard U. ,S. -bushel is the "Winchester bush- el," which is in cylinder form, 18 y2 inches in diame- ter and 8 inches deep. It contains 2,150.4 cubic inches.

TO FIND THE QUANTITY OF GRAIN ANY BIN WILL HOLD.

Rule. — Multiply the height, length and ibreadth to- gether in inches and -divide by 2.150.4; the quotient will be the numfber of toushels.

SHORT BUT ACCURATE RULE FOR SAME.

Multiply length, -breadth and height in feet together ; multiply this by 45 and divide by '56 ; or, to sim- plify: multiply by 4 and divide by 5.

Example. — A bin 16 feet long, 8 feet wide and 14 feet high will hold how many bushels?

16x8x4—1792.

1792x45—80640.

80640-^-56—1440. Ans. 1440 Bushels.

410 MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

TO FIND THE QUANTITY OF GRAIN WHEN HEAPED ON THE FLOOR IN THE SHAPE OF A CONE.

Rule. — Square the depth and square the slant height in inches. Take their difference and multiply by depth and this product by .0005. The result will be the con- tents in bushels.

The following is excellent for finding the interest on any principal for any number of days. When the principal contains cents, point off four places from the right of the result to express the interest in dollars and cents. When the principal contains dollars only, point off two places :

4 per cent — Multiply principal :by the number of days to run; divide by 90.

5 per cent — Multiply 'by number of days and divide by 72.

6 per cent' — Multiply and divide .by 60.

FARM LOANS

More money is being invested in Farm loans at present than ever before.

The Loan Agent to compete success- fully finds a DIRECT connection for cheap and elastic funds imperative. Moneys obtained through a middle man leave no profit and the funds of the large life insurance companies, while cheap, are surrounded with too many restrictions and red tape to be desirable.

The funds of savings banks, large pri- vate investors, and holders of trust funds control the best farm loan business today.

4 'Bonds and Mortgages, ' ' Chicago, is the oldest farm loan publication in this coun- try and reaches the best class of buyers of these securities whose confidence it enjoys. A number of its subscribers invest from $100,000 to $500,000 annually in farm mortgages. It claims to offer the quick- est and most effective introduction to the best buyers of farm loans in this country.
