1. In case of the destruction by fire or otherwise of the public tax records or of the

records in the office of the city clerk of any city, or in case of the loss of the

records of both said offices, any certificate of the sale of lands in said city for

unpaid taxes or assessments or any deed made by any officer of such city under and

by virtue of the act to which this is a supplement and of the various acts amendatory

thereof and supplementary thereto, shall be taken as conclusive evidence, in any of

the tax or assessment for which said land was sold or said deed given, or in regard

to the publication or service of any notice required to be made by the act to which

provided, however, that such certificate of sale or such deed shall have been made

before the destruction of any such record.
