<p>IRRIGATION-ORGANIZATION OF DISTRICT-PETITION.</p> <p>Bal. Code, § 4166, providing for the organization of an irrigation district upon the petition of “fifty or a majority of holders of title,” does not require fifty in any event, but a petition by forty-two freeholders, constituting more than a majority, is sufficient.</p> <p>SAME — ASSESSMENTS TAX SALE.</p> <p>Bal. Code, § 4192, regulating the sale of lands for delinquent irrigation assessments, does not require the officer making the sale to designate in writing any particular portion which he proposes to sell, hut it is sufficient if the record recites that he designated the portions at the time of sale.</p> <p>SAME-INADEQUACY OF PRICE.</p> <p>Inadequacy of price is not a valid objection to the sale of land for taxes.</p> <p>TAX DEED — RECORDING-BONA FIDE PURCHASER-LIEN FOR TAXES PAID.</p> <p>The owner of land sold for special irrigation taxes several years after he had acquired title cannot object that the tax deed was not recorded, and that he was an innocent purchaser by reason of subsequently paying general taxes; but he has a lien on the land for the taxes paid by him in good faith.</p>
