Syllabus

<p>Waters and Water Courses (92) — Irrigation—Assessments— Redemption — Persons Entitled to Redeem. A landowner’s association, formed to look after the individual interests of a large number of owners of property within an irrigation district extending through three counties, may properly redeem the lands of a member from sale for delinquent irrigation assessments where such action is either authorized or ratified by the landowner, since the act of the association is not the intermeddling of a stranger.</p> <p>Same (92) — Sale oe Land — Return and Record — Statutes. Where a county treasurer as ex-officio treasurer of an irrigation district sells lands within the district to satisfy delinquent assessments, his failure to file a duplicate certificate of sale in the office of the county auditor of the county in which the land is situated, as required by Rem. Code, § 6442, invalidates the sale, since the filing of such certificate in the proper county is an essential element of the sale.</p>
