TAX DECISIONS.

Supreme Court Reverses Five Cases From Superior Court.

Olympia, Nov. 11.—The supreme court has reversed the judgment of the superior court of King county in five cases brought by J. M. Nolan against M. H. Arnot, over the tax title of land in the Riley addition to South Seattle.

Nolan secured judgment in tax foreclosure proceedings in a number of cases, but on the motion of the attorney of M. H. Arnot, the original owner of the property, the judgment was vacated on the grounds that the service of the summons had been insufficient.

After reviewing the cases the supreme court finds that the lower court had jurisdiction to enter the judgment and was therefore in error in making an order setting aside the judgment.

The cases have accordingly been reversed with instructions to proceed as directed.
