Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Tax Deeds — Statutory Form — Presumption of Regularity. A tax deed which follows the form prescribed by statute is sufficient, and furnishes prima facie evidence that the tax proceedings were regular and that every step necessary to the validity of the deed was taken.</p> <p>2. -Description of Property Sold — Sufficiency. A tax deed which gives a full description of a single city lot in the recital that it was subject to taxation, and, in subsequent recitals as to sale, assignment of certificate and of the conveyance of the property the lot is not redescribed, but only referred to as “said property,” “the real property above described,” and “the real property last hereinbefore described,” is not void for insufficient description of the property sold and conveyed, where the deed recites that the whole lot was sold, that being the least quantity bid for the taxes charged against it.</p>
