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.

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.

to  be  made  by  the  officer  taking  the  acknowledgement,

LAWS    OF    COLORADO 

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  May  18th,  1907,  by  J.  E.  Mc- 
Intyre   of   Colorado   Spring's. 

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.

LAWS  OF  CONNECTICUT 

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.

Taxes. 

The  assessment  of  taxes  shall  be  completed  on  Jan- 
uary 1st,  except  in  Kent  County  where  it  shall  be  com- 
pleted by  the  15th  of  February,  and  no  assessment 
shall  be  made  after  the  last  day  of  March.  General

four  years,  excepting  in  Wilmington  Hundred  (a  div- 
ision of  the  country  corresponding  to  township) ,- where' 
assessment  is  annual.  In  cities,  towns  and  villages 
new  buildings  and  structures  of  a  permanent  char- 
acter are  assessed  annually.  The  levy "  courts  of  New 
Castle  and  Sussex  Counties  sit  as  a  court  of  appeal 
on  the  first  Tuesday  of  March  in  every  year  to  examine 
assessments  and  to  determine  appeals  against  the 
same,  and  the  levy  court  of  Kent  County  on  the  second 
Tuesday  in  March 'in  every  year  for  the  same  purpose. 
Alterations  may  be  made  at  the  March  term  of  the 
levy  court  for  two  years  after  the  first  term  of  ap- 
peals from  the  assessments. 

Taxes  shall  remain  a  Men  for  two  years  from  the 
first  day  of  July  of  the  year  in  which  imposed,  but 
in  New  Castle  County  taxes  on  rcai  estate  continue 
a  lien  until  collected,  if  the  real  estate  remains  the 
property  of  the  person  to  whom  it  is  assessed.  Coun- 
ty taxes  in  Kent  and  Sussex  Counties  become  due  in 
thirty  days  from  the  first  Tuesday  in  April.  County 
taxes  in  New  Castle  county  become  due  July  1st.  In 
Kent  and  Sussex  counties  taxes  are  payable  to  the 
tax  collector  of  the  representative  district  in  which  the 
property  is  situate.     In  New   Castle  county,   outside  of 


316   L A  WS  AND  FORMS— DELAWARE

lector of  the  Hundred  in  which  the  property  is  situate. 
In  the  city  of  Wilmington  county  taxes  are  payable 
to  the  receiver  of  taxes  of  New  Castle  county.  On 
county  taxes  in  New  Castle  and  Sussex  counties  paid

In  Kent  and  Sussex  counties  10  days'  notice  of  the 
sale  is  required  by  advertisements  posted  in  four  most 
public  places  of  the  comity,  two  of  which  shall  be

or  Sussex  counties,  until  the  expiration  of  two  years 
from  the  time  of  sale.

and  Legal  Directory,  May  11th,  1907,  by  Brandenburg 
&  Brandenburg,    of  the   Washington   Bar. 

Taxes. 

Real  estate  is  assessed  every  three  years  and  on  a 
basis  of  about  two-thirds  of  its  actual  value.  On 
default  of  payment  of  taxes  for  two  years,  property 
is  sold  for  the  same,  irrespective  of  who  may  be 
the  holder.  Taxes  are  due  and  payable  semi-annuallv, 
in  November  and  May.  One-half  of  the  tax  levied 
becomes  due  and  payable  on  the  first  day  of  No- 
vember next  succeeding  the  completion  of  the  assess- 
ment, and  the  remaining  half  of  such  taves  becomes 
due  and  payable  on  the  first  day  of  May  next  fol- 
lowing to  the  collector  of  taxes  of  the  District  of 
Columbia.  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.  Tax  deed  issues  within  two  years  from  date 
of  sale  where  property  has  not  been  redeemed,  which 
deed  is  to  be  admitted  and  held  to  be  prima  facie 
evidence  of  a  perfect  title  in  fee  simple  to  any  prop- 
erty so  purchased.

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  June  29th,  1907,  by  Henry  W. 
■Bishop,    of   Eustis,   Florida. 

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.

sell,  convey,  or  mortgage  it,  as  she  might  do  if  she 
were  not  married,  provided  her  husband  join  in  such 
sale,  conveyance,  or  mortgage.  A  married  woman 
may  release  dower  by  .joining  her  husband  in  the 
conveyance,  or  by  a  separate  deed  executed  in  like 
manner   as    other    conveyances.

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.

sessment of  personal  property,  lands,  lots,  etc.,  is

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-

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    AND    CONVEYANCES.

and  Legal  Directory,  May  24th,  1907,  by  Stimson 
and    Condit,    of,  Terre    Haute. 

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. 

Conveyances. 

Neither  witnesses  nor  private  seals  are  required 
on  deeds. 

Husband  and  wife  should  join  in  conveying  the 
real   estate  of  either. 

The  wife  need  not  be  examined  separate  and  apart 
from  her  husband,  but  must  join  in  the  conveyance 
to   bar  her   dower.

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.  Neither  seals,  scrolls 
nor  wafers  are  required  in  the  execution  of  a  deed 
by  a  private  person  nor  are  witnesses  necessary  to 
the  validity  of  a  deed.  Corporations  must  execute 
conveyances  under  the  corporate  seal.  Any  corpora- 
tion may  convey  lands  -by  deed,  sealed  with  the  com- 
mon seal  of  the  corporation,  and  signed  ,by  the  presi- 
dent, vice-president,  or  the  presiding  member  or  trus- 
tee, of  said  corporation,  and  such  deed,  when  ac- 
knowledged by  such  officer  to  be  the  act  of  the  cor- 
poration, or  proved  in  the  manner  prescribed  for  other 
conveyances  of  lands,  may  ibe  recorded  in  like  man- 
ner and  with  the  same  effect  as  other  deeds.  Unac- 
knowledged deeds  may  be  proved  before  any  officer 
authorized  to  take  acknowledgements.  Powers  of  at- 
torney (as  well  as  deeds)  to  convey  land  must  be 
acknowledged  and  recorded.  As  'between  the  parties, 
and  persons  having  actual  notice  thereof,  conveyances 
are  valid  even  though  not  recorded. 

The  acknowledgement,  if  taken  within  the  state, 
must  be  before  some  judge  or  clerk  of  a  court  having 
a  seal,  a  justice,  notary  public,  who  must  use  an 
official    seal,    a    county    clerk,    register    of    deeds,    or 


IvAWS  AND  FORMS— KANSAS  335 


mayor  or  clerk  of  an  incorporated  city.  If  taken 
out  of  the  state  the  acknowledgement  must  be  be- 
fore some  court  of  record,  or  clerk  or  officer  holding 
the  seal  thereof,  a  commissioner  of  deeds  for  this 
state,  a  notary  public,  who  must  use  his  official  seal,

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND     CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  June,  1907,  by  Hall  &  Monroe, 
of   New   Orleans,    La.      (Hiibernia   Bldg.) 

Taxes. 

■State  taxes  are  due  and  payable  prior  to  December 
31,  annually.  Delinquent  December  31,  annually.  New 
Orleans  city  taxes  due  and  payable  prior  to  July  1, 
annually.      Delinquent   July    1,    annually. 

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.

ation and  no  other :  viz  :  All  public  property,  places 
of  religious  worship  o>r  burial ;  the  rectories  and

ministers  in  charge  of  such  churches;  all  charitable 
institutions,  all  buildings  and  property  used  exclusive- 
ly   for    public    monuments    and    historical    collections ;

other  library  association  used  by  or  connected  with 
such  library ;  all  books  and  philosophical  apparatus 
and  all  paintings  and  statuary  of  any  company  or 
association  kept  in  a  public  hall,  provided  the  prop- 
erty so  exempted  be  not  leased  for  purposes  of  private 
or  corporate  profit  or  income  ;  household  property  to 
the  value  of  $500  ;  railroads  and  property  thereof  are 
exempt  for  ten  years  from  date  of  completion,  pro- 
vided they  are  completed  prior  to  Jan.  1,  1909,  and 
built  since  18  98  ;  all  factories  employing  more  than 
five  hands  are  exempt  from  municipal  and  parochial 
taxation  until  Jan.  1,  1910.  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. 
Husband  can  sell  and  convey  his  own  or  community 
property  without  wife  joining  in  conveyance,  unless 
she  has  a  privilege  of  mortgage  registered  against  it, 
but  he  cannot  sell  and  convey  separate  property  of 
wife,  though  she  may  do  so  with  his  authority.  If 
he  refuses  the  Court  can  be  asked  to  give  this  author- 
ization.

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.

Relative  To 
TAXES    AND 'CONVEYANCES.

and  Legal  Directory. 

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 

Separate  examination  or  acknowledgment  of  wife's 
joining  in  a  release  of  dower  is  not  necessary.  Where 
there  is  more  than  one  grantor  to  a  deed  the  ac- 
knowledgement of  one   is   sufficient.

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. 

Personal  taxes  are  due  and  payable  January  1st, 
and  become  delinquent  March  1st,  whereupon  a  pen- 
alty of  10  per  cent  attaches,  and  they  are  placed 
in  the  hands  of  the  sheriff  for  collection.  Upon  the 
sheriff's  failure  to  collect,  they  are  put  in  judgment 
at  following  term  of  court  and  no  property  is  exempt 
from    sale    under    execution    issued    thereon. 

Conveyances. 

All  deeds  must  be  attested  by  two  subscribing  wit- 
nesses. 

Husband  and  wife  must  join  in  all  conveyances 
of    real    property. 

A  married  woman  uniting  with  her  husband  in  the 
execution  of  a  deed,  should  be  described  in  the 
acknowledgement  as  his  wife,  but  no  separate  ex- 
amination in  respect  to  release  of  dower  is  required.

of  the  Kansas  City  Bar,   (New  York  Life  Building). 

Taxes. 

Beal  estate  is  assessed  the  first  day  of  June.  The 
taxes  become  a.  lien  on  that  day.  The  person  owning 
or  holding  property  on  the  first  day  Oi  June,  includ- 
ing all  property  purchased  on  that  day,  is  liable  for 
taxes    thereon    for    the    ensuing   year. 

All  property  is  taxed  in  proportion  to  its  value. 
Due  and  payable  between  August  1,  and  January  1,

ber a  penalty  of  1  per  centum  per  month  is  added 
until  paid.  Taxes  and  penalties  are  liens  upon  the 
property  assessed.  All  taxes  remaining  unpaid  the 
first  day  of  January,  which  were  previously  due  and 
payable,  are  termed  delinquent  or  toaCk  taxes,  and 
payment  of  these  is  enforced  by  suit  and  sale  of  prop- 
erty as  in  ordinary  actions.  Such  suits  Cannot  be 
maintained,  however,  until  the  expiration  Of  one  year 
after  the  taxes  become  delinquent. 

Execution  upon  judgment  in  any  tax  suit  may  be 
issued  immediately  after  judgment  and  property  sold 
Under  execution  by  giving  twenty  days'  notice  of  time 
and  place  of  sale,  and  of  the  real  estate  to  be  sold

bills  put  up  in  different  places  in  different  parts  of 
the  county.  (Deed  issues  to  purchaser  immediately 
following  the  sale,  and  no  provision  is  made  for  the 
redemption  of  the  property  from  tax  sale  after  Such 
deed  is  executed. 

No  action  can  be  maintained  to  set  aside  any  void 
tax  deed  unless  the  plaintiff  shall  offer  to  refund 
to  the  holder  of  the  deed  all  taxes  paid  by  the 
holder    and    interest,  t 

In  addition  to  the  atoove,  in  all  incorporated  cities

of  the  .lien  of  these  taxes,  the  date  of  payment, 
the  amount  of  penalty,  the  provisions  for  sale,  and 
redemption  in  cases  of  delinquencies  vary  with  the 
charters  of  the  different  cities,  for  information  in 
regard  to  which  request  should  ibe  made  to  the  au- 
thorities of  the  city  within  which  the  property  is  lo- 
cated. •

six  per  cent  shall  be  allowed,  or  which  is  paid  within 
more  than  six  months  and  less  than  a  year  may  be

LAWS    OF    NEBRASKA 

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  May,  1907,  by  Tibbets,  JMorey  & 
Fuller,  Real  Estate  and  Corporation  Lawyers,  of  Hast- 
ings,   Nebraska. 

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-

LAWS  OF   NEVADA 

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  May  11th,  1907,  .by  Chas.  B. 
Henderson,    of   Elko,    Nev. 

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.

the  deed  (prescribed  by  statute)  issues  at  the  re- 
quest of  purchaser  two  years  after  the  sale.  The 
title  thereupon  becomes  absolute  if  all  the  require- 
ments of  the  statute  have  been  complied  with,  same 
requirements  as  to  sale  and  subsequent  proceedings 
in  proceeding  against  real  estate  owned  by  non-res- 
idents,   but    different   notice   of   such   sale   necessary. 

Taxes  become  a  lien  on  real  estate  April  1,  the 
date    as    of    which    all    taxes    are    assessed.      Such    lien 

:s  not  expire  until  one  year  ^and  with  respect  to 
highway  taxes  not  until  two  years)  from  the  first 
of  July  next  following  such  assessment.  During  the 
year  and  month  in  which  such  lien  is  in  force  an 
attaching  creditor  or  a  purchaser  takes  real  estate  on 
which  taxes  are  unpaid  subject  to  that  lien.  Such 
purchaser  has  his  action  over  against  the  grantor, 
but  such  property  may  be  taken  and  sold  as  against 
the   owner  after   the   expiration   of   such  lien. 

(INHERITANCE    TAX  )  . 

A  tax  of  five  per  cent,  is  imposed  on  all  real  and 
personal  property  passing  by  inheritance,  will,  or  gift 
to  take  effect  on  the  grantor's  death,  to  any  person 
in  trust  or  otherwise,  other  than  to  or  for  the  use  of 
the  father,  mother,  husband,  widow,  lineal  descen- 
dant, brother,  sister,  adopted  child,  lineal  descen- 
dant of  any  adopted  child,  wife,  or  widow  of  a  son 
or  husband  of  a  daughter  of  a  decrdent.  or  to  or  for 
charitable,  educational,  or  religious  -bodies  in  whose 
hands  such  property  will  be  exempt  by  law  from  tax- 
ation, or  to  a  city  or  town  in  this  State  for  public 
purposes.  The  tax  applies  to  bonds  and  stocks  physic- 
ally within  the  State  belonging  to  a  non-resident. 
The  tax  is  a  lien  on  all  real  estate  of  the  deceased 
till  paid.  The  probate  court  has  jurisdiction  of  all 
questions    relating    to    the    tax. 

Transfers  of  stock  in  national  banks  in  this  State, 
or  of  stock  in  domestic  corporations  belonging  to  a 
deceased  non-resident,  shall  not  <be  made  until  any 
such  tax  payable  thereon  is  satisfied,  and  depositaries 
of  securities  belonging  to  a  deceased  non-resident  are 
required  to  notify  the  state  treasurer  before  deliv- 
ering up  the  securities  to  a  foreign  executor  or 
administrator. 

Conveyances. 

Every  deed,  mortgage  and  other  conveyance  of 
real  estate,  every  lease  to  run  for  more  than  seven 
years  from  the  making  thereof,  and  every  power  of 
attorney  to  convey  real  estate  should  be  signed,  sealed, 
attested  by  two  or  more  witnesses,  acknowledged  be- 
fore a  justice  of  the  peace,  notary  public,  commis- 
sioner, minister  or  consul  of  the  United  States,  and 
recorded  at  length  in  the  registry  of  deeds  in  the 
county  in  which  the  land  lies.  A  scroll  is  not  a 
sufficient  seal.  The  magistrate  need  not  certify  iden- 
tity of  grantors  nor  date  of  expiration  of  his  com- 
mission, but  if  a  justice  without  the  state  his  official 
character  should  be  authenticated  by  secretary  of 
state  or  clerk  of  a  court  of  record.  Assignments 
of  mortgages  need  not  be  executed  with  above  for- 
malities   nor    recorded,    and    mortgages    may    be    dis- 


LAWS  AND  FORMS--NEW  JERSEY      359 

charged  by  a  simple  recital  of  satisfaction  and  dis- 
charge on  the  'back  thereof,  signed  by  the  mortgagee 
or  assignee  and  recorded  on  the  margin  of  the  record 
of    the    mortgage. 

Husband  and  wife  should  join  in  every  conveyance, 
except  in  cases  where  such  conveyance  is  of  property 
in  which  they  have  no  beneficial  interest.  In  cases 
where  one  canveys  in  the  capacity  of  trustee  such 
capacity  being"  created  by  act  of  private  parties  it  is 
best    that    the    other    should    sign.

able one-half  on  the  first  of  August  and  the  other

As  between  vendor  and  purchaser  one  half  be- 
comes a  lien  on  January  1st,  and  the  other  half  on 
July    1st.

Taxes  are  payable  to  the  county  collector  and 
treasurer  and  become  delinquent,  one-half  on  Jan- 
uary 2d  and  other  one-half  On  June  .2d.  Penalty 
of  one  per  cent  attaches  on  January  2d  and  June 
2nd,  and  further  penalty  Of  four  per  Cent  on  Feb* 
ruary  2d  and  July  2d.  Advertised  within  90  days 
after  delinquency  for  a  ternfi  of  foUr  weeks  in  news- 
paper and  also  toy  posting  notice.  Notice  also  pub* 
fished  in  Case  tax  exceeds  $2)5,  that  collectors  will 
apply    to    district   court   for   judgment.

Conveyances. 

No  witnesses  needed.  No  scroll  Of  seal  necessary 
except  for  corporations.  Husband  and  wife  need  not 
join  in  Conveyances  of  property  acquired  prior  to 
marriage  nor  of  property  acquired  during"  coverture 
by  gift,  donation,  devise  or  descent.  Have  community 
system  of  property  law  similar  to  California.  The 
husband  is  the  head  of  ,  such  community  and  can 
deed  land  for  valuable  consideration  without  wife 
joining  in  deed  when  title  stands  in  his  name.  When 
title  stands  in  Wife's  name  there  is  a  presumption 
that   it    is   her    separate   Estate.

tentiary for  imore  than  One  year  or  has  abandoned

LAWS  AND  FORMS— NEW  YORK         363 

LAWS    OF    NEW    YORK 

Relative  To 
TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  June  1st,  1907,  toy  John  T.  Booth, 
of   271   Broadway,  New  York. 

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 

In  the  City  of  New  York,  corporations  must  file 
with    the    city    tax    commissioners    between    the    sec- 


364  LAWS  AND  FORMS— NEW  YORK 

ond  Monday  of  January  and  the  31st  of   March  state- 
ments upon  which  is  based  their  city  taxes. 

Domestic  corporations  are  required  to  pay  an  or- 
ganization tax  of  one-twentieth  of  one  per  cent  when 
incorporating.  Foreign  corporations  doing  .business 
in  the  state  are  required  to  pay  a  license  fee  of 
one-eighth  of  one  per  cent  on  the  amount  of  Capital 
invested  within  the  state. 

Property  passing  by  will  or  the  law  of  descent 
or  distribution,  is  subject  to  Certain  taxes  varying 
from  one  to  five  per  Cent  according  to  the  amount 
of  the  estate,  and  the  degree  of  relationship.  This 
tax  is  fixed  in  the  proceedings  .in  the  surrogate's 
Court,  in  which  the  estate  is  administered. 
Conveyances. 
A  deed  of  conveyance  must  he  made  under  seal, 
and  to  entitle  it  to  be  recorded  it  must  toe  acknowl- 
edged. No  witness  to  the  deed  is  necessary.  The 
seal  may  be  either  a  wafer,  or  a  scroll  of  the  let- 
ters  "L».   S."   or  the  word   "seal"   may  toe  written. 

A  deed  of  conveyance  made  toy  a  married  man 
must  be  joined  in  by  his  wife,  in  order  .to .  trans- 
fer the  wife's  right  of  dower. 

A  married  woman  may  convey  real  estate  owned 
by  her  without  Ifer  husband  joining  in  the  deed. 

In  conveyances  made  by  husband  and  wife,  the 
wife  need  not  make  a  separate  acknowledgement 
apart  from  her  husband ;  both  may  join  in  the  same 
acknowledgement.

ment toy  an   individual   or   individuals :

amination of  the  wife,  "to  explain  the  same  to  her,

complied  with ;"  a  failure  to  do  this  vitiates  the  deed.

&  Adams,  of  Lisbon,  N.  D. 

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.

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.

grazing  acquire  actual  situs  for  the  purpose  of  tax- 
ation. 

Liability  for  taxes  is  fixed  by  the  ownership  on 
the  first  day  of  March.  The  assessment  begins  on 
the  first  Monday  in  March.  The  assessor's  returns 
must  be  made  on  or  before  the  first  Monday  in 
May.  All  property  is  assessed  at  its  cash  value. 
Taxes  .become  delinquent  if  unpaid-  on  the  15th  day 
of  December  and  the  l'5th  day  of  June,  one-half  on 
each  date   following  the  assessment. 

The  penalty  on  delinquent  taxes  is  eighteen  per 
cent.  The  maximum  territorial  rate  is  three  (3) 
mills.  The  county  treasurer  is  the  tax  collector. 
Property  sold  for  taxes  may  foe  redeemed  iby  the 
equitable  or  rear  owner  in  two  years  from  date  of 
sale  by  paying  the  tax,  penalty,  interest  and  cost. 
Taxes  unpaid  first  Monday  in  October,  each  year

three  consecutive  weeks.  Property  conveyed  between 
the  first  day  of  March  and  the  15th  day  of  December

erty  and  not  paid  before  the  second  Monday  in  March

Conveyances. 

Wife  may,  without  consent  of  the  husband  convey 
her  separate  property.  The  husband  or  wife  must 
support  consort  out  of  separate  property  if  other  has 
none,     and    is    unable     to     support    self.     Property    of 


LAWS  AND  FORMS— OKLAHOMA    371 


each  liable  to  support  of  other  and  for  right  of  support 
may  look  to  consort's  property.  Transfer  in  fraud  of 
obligation  to  support  may  be  set  aside  under  usual 
conditions. 

Separate  property  of  the  husband  not  lia.ble  for 
the  debts  of  the  wife  contracted  'before  marriage. 
Tenancy  by  courtesy  and  dower  abolished  iby  stat- 
ute. Women  have  the  same  legal  existence  after 
as  before  marriage,  and  for  injuries  to  her  reputa- 
tion, person,  property  or  other  natural  right  may  be 
prosecuted  in  her  own  name  alone. 

Where  the  title  to  a  homestead  is  in  the  husband, 
and  wife  voluntarily  abandons  him  for  a  period 
of  one  year,  or  for  any  cause  takes  up  her  resi- 
dence out  of  this  territory,  he  may  convey  mort- 
gage or  contract  the  same  without  tbeing  joined 
by  her.  .Same  rule  applies  when  title  is  in  the 
wife's  name   and  husband  abandons   her. 

Husband  or  wife  executing  instrument  on  home- 
stead alone,  it  is  conclusive  as  to  the  one  execut- 
ing it  and  can  only  be  avoided  toy  the  one  not  join- 
ing. Husband  or  wife  may  make  valid  contract  on 
separate  property  without  being  joined  by  the  other, 
and  every  instrument  purporting  to  ibe  an  absolute 
conveyance  but  subject  to  a  defeasance  is  deemed 
a  mortgage  and  must  be  foreclosed  as  such.

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  May  2  0th,  1907,  by  Clifford  S. 
Tower   of    Providence,    R.    I. 

Taxes. 

Due  and  payable  on  date  set  by  board  of  assessors, 
usually  between  July  1  and  Octo-ber  1,  annually. 
Delinquent  October  1,  annually.  Real  Estate  usually 
sold  for  taxes  about  June   1,   following. 

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

and  Legal  Directory,  June  1st,  1907,  toy  J.  C.  Otts,  of

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

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.  Wife  has  a  dower 
right  in  all  her  husband's  real  estate  during  coverture. 
But  it  is  a  contingent  interest,  amounting  to  one  third, 
dependant  upon  the  husband  dying  first.  The  hus- 
band has  no  estate  of  courtesy  in  his  wife's  lands 
and  she  can  convey  same  without  his  consent  or  signa- 
ture. 

Before  being  admitted  to  record  the  execution  of 
all  real  estate  conveyances  must  be  proved,  toy  one 
of  the  subscribing  witnesses,  before  a  notary  public, 
or  other  competent  officer  having  a  seal  and  should 
be  filed  for  record  within  40  days  of  the  date  of  exe- 
cution.

LAWS  OF   VIRGINIA 

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

Prepared  expressly  for  Montgomery's  Real  Estate 
and  Legal  Directory,  May  15th,  1907,  by  Sands  & 
Williams,   of  Richmond  Bar,   Richmond,   Virginia. 

Taxes. 

State  taxes  are  assessed  as  of  February  1st,  about 
75  per  cent  of  the  actual  value  of  the  property,  are  pay- 
able to  the  city  or  county  treasurer  in  one  installment. 
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 


L,  VWS  AND  FORMS— VIRGINIA  391 

and  penalties  are  paid,  file  an  application  for  its 
purchase,  and  after  four  months  notice  to  the  present 
owner  of  record,  as  well  as  the  owner  at  the  time  of 
the  delinquency,  acquire  a  deed  to  the  property,  pay- 
ing of  course,  all  taxes  and  charges  including  a  fee 
to  the  clerk  for  the  deed. 

City  and  county  taxes  vary  in  amount  in  different 
localities. 

Conveyances. 

No  witnesses  are  necessary  to  the  validity  of  real 
estate  conveyances  but  seals  must  itae  attached  thereto. 
Natural  persons  may  seal  toy  making  a  scroll  with  a 
pen,  or  toy  printed  scroll.  In  the  case  of  a  corpora- 
tion, impression  of  its  corporate  seal  must  be  made 
upon  the  paper,  and  in  both  cases  the  seal  should  be 
acknowledged  in  the  body  of  the  instrument,  as  "Wit- 
ness   the   folowing   signatures   and   seals." 

Husband  and  wife  should  join  in  all  conveyances  of 
real  estate,  except  where  the  deed  is  made  to  a 
trustee  to  secure  to  the  vendor  the  purchase  money, 
or  where  a  deed  of  trust  or  mortgage  is  executed  for 
the  purchase  money,  or  part  thereof,  of  the  property 
conveyed  to  the  grantor  or  mortgagor  therein,  in 
which  case  the  signature  of  the  grantor,  or  mortgagor, 
alone  is  necessary. 

Wife's  acknowledgement  is  no  different  from  that 
of  any  other  person.  She  does  not  have  to  acknowl- 
edge the  release  of  her  dower  as  the  acknowledgement 
of  the  deed  is  sufficient.

Notary   Public. 

The  law  requires,  under  a  penalty  for  non-observ- 
ance, a  statement  by  notary  of  the  date  of  the  ex- 
piration of  the  commission,  tout  failure  to  state  does 
not  void  the  acknowledgement,  nor  affect  the  validity 
of  the  deed,  or  other  conveyance. 

(Conveyance  of  Real   Estate  toy  a   Corporation) 

There  is  no  implied  authority  in  any  particular  of- 
ficer to  convey  its  real  estate.  It  is  usually  done  in 
pursuance  of  a  resolution  by  the  board  of  directors 
in  which  some  officer  or  other  person  is  especially 
authorized  to  convey.  The  resolution  should  toe  cited 
in  the  conveyance  itself,  and  the  corporate  seal  should 
be  attached  toy  the  secretary  or  whomsoever,  und^r 
the  laws,  is  custodian  of  the  seal.  The  usual  form  in 
the  final  clause  in  the  deed  is:  "WITNESS  the  cor- 
porate   signature    of    said    company    toy     its 

president,   (or  other  officer  as  the  case  may  be)   and  its 

corporate  seal   attested  toy    its   secretary    (or 

whomsoever    may    be    the    custodian    of    the    corporate 
seal.)

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.

LAWS  OF   WEST  VIRGINIA 

Relative  To 

TAXES    AND    CONVEYANCES. 

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 


396        LAWS  AND  FORMS— WEST  VIRGINIA 

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-

HAY  MEASURE. — About  500  cubic  feet  of  well  set- 
tled hay,  or  about  700  of  new  mown  hay,  will  make 
a  ton.  To  estimate  amount  of  hay  in  mow — ten  cubic 
yards  of  meadow  hay  weigh  a  ton.  When  the  hay  is 
taken  out  of  old  stacks,  8  or  9  yards  will  make  a 
ton.  Eleven  or  twelve  cubic  yards  of  clover,  when  dry, 
make   a   ton.

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.

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.
