Syllabus

<p>■ Taxation (152)—Foreclosure of Lien—Affidavit—Nonresidence—Sufficiency. The superior court acquired no jurisdiction of tax foreclosure proceedings by a private party against a nonresident defendant, where the affidavit for publication of the summons was contradictory, reciting that affiant believes that the defendant is not a resident of the state, and that he has deposited a copy of the summons and notice in the post office at Pasco, . . . directed to the defendant at his place of residence, to wit, at Pasco; since Rem. Code, § 228, requires the affidavit to show a mailing of the copy directed to the defendant at his place of residence, unless the affidavit state that such residence is not known to affiant.</p>
