Tur Fargo Forum flags code omission on delinquent tax redemption
Tur Fargo Forum notes an issue in the 1899 code where the clause granting 2 percent monthly interest for redeeming lands bought for delinquent taxes appears missing. The 1899 session laws contain it, but the code proclaimed by the governor does not. The error concerns only 1899 taxes. the 1900 taxes should be unaffected and a future session will fix the omission.

County battle over Nixon County tax suit and Baker fee
Emmons county retained Fred A Baker of Detroit to handle a Northern Pacific tax suit. Baker failed to meet consultations, prompting a compromise where the railroad paid a share of delinquent land tax. The case later faced a Kidder county ruling forbidding county counsel without court order. Baker then sued. Kerr of the NP tax department appeared for Emmons.
