Biographical Sketch
Registers in this series were created to record the issuance of deeds to purchasers of lands sold for unpaid taxes. The Comptroller's Office performed that function until 1926; the State Tax Commissioner had the responsibility after 1926. The person who bought property in the tax sale was given a certificate. When the grace period for redeeming the property was over, the buyer gave the certificate back, and was issued a deed.
