It was recommended by the water works committee to build a new plant for $1600'3 with East Bay as its source but the rise In the price of iron brought the estimated cost to $200000 which exceeded the

unconstitutional as it did yester day In the case of the Savings Bank against the auditor general Is likely to cause the department a large amount of work and occasion the repayment to hold ers of state tax deeds of a large sum of money A tax title dealer said to day that the decision would make the big balance in the state treasury look like thirty cents as the holders of the deeds which are Invalid will be entitled to a return of their money 4he section of the law declared void is No IL of act 223 of 1897 The section was de signed to act as a statute of limitation and to bar owners of property from disputing in any way the validity of a tax sale under which their property had been sold unless question was raised wlthjn six months af ter service of the notice of purchase The court does not touch the question as to the right of the legislature to pass such a stat ute of limitations tout the decision is based on the ground that there are provisions in section 143 that are not only beyond the natural limits of the title but are directly antagonistic to Its spirit The effect of the decision will be that where notices have been served property owners will have the same right to make defense that they would have had If the law had never been passed Deeds which have been held back waiting for the de cision will now be returned to the auditor general for cancellation and
