Syllabus

<p>SYLLABUS BY THE COURT.</p> <p>1. Tax Deeds — Presumption of Contiguity of Lots. It may fairly be inferred from the recitals in a tax deed which has been of record more than five years and which purports to convey several lots consecutively numbered in a certain block of a city and bid in by the county for a gross sum, where a single charge was made for the subsequent taxes of each following year, that the lots were contiguous and comprised only a single parcel for purposes of taxation.</p> <p>2. - Compromise — Assignee Required to Pay All Taxes Due. In effecting a compromise of taxes on lots bid in by the county, which have stood unredeemed for three years without any one offering to purchase the same for the amount of the taxes, interest and penalties due thereon, the purchaser to whom the certificate is assigned under the order of the county commissioners may be required to pay all subsequent taxes due on the land at the time of the compromise.</p>
