Syllabus

<p>Taxation •—• Foreclosure of Lien — Summons — Description of Property—Sufficiency. Under Rem. Code, § 9257, requiring summons by publication in a general county tax foreclosure to describe the property the same as described on the tax rolls, a tax foreclosure and tax sale and deed thereunder is void, where the property was described in the summons as lots in “Bowman’s plat,” and on the tax rolls as lots in “Bowman’s Central Ship Harbor Water Front Plat.”</p> <p>Same—Foreclosure—Judgment — Conclusiveness. Rem. Code, § 9267, providing that judgment for deed to real estate sold for taxes shall estop all parties from raising any objection thereto that could have been presented as a defense, has no application to a judgment which was void for want of proper summons giving jurisdiction.</p>
