First Lien Co. v. Marquette National Bank

At a sale for delinquent taxes, the appellant, First Lien Co., purchased a parcel of real property which was sold for nonpayment of an installment of a special assessment, and at the appropriate time petitioned the circuit court of Cook County for an order directing the county clerk to issue a tax deed. The court denied the petition on the ground that Frank and Anna Petrauskas had not been given the notice required by sections 263 and 266 of the Revenue Act of 1939 (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1967, ch. 120, pars. 744, 747), and the appellate court affirmed (4 Ill. App. 3d 517).
