It was brought to the board’s attention that in 1924 a piece of land 1 ½ rods wide the length of a forty was given to the town for a road. The property is located off of Cattail Lane between James Crass’s property and the junk yard. It was recorded in 1945 but the exception has never been written into the deeds of the two adjoining land owners. It was discovered when one of the parcels was being sold. It has been asked that the town abandon and do a Quit Claim Deed. The board is willing to do this, but the adjoining land owners will have to pay all legal and filing fees. The clerk will send a letter with the board’s decision.
A registered letter will be sent to Quest Development concerning the six month arrears of tax money.
Board of Review has been tentatively set for June 3 at 5:00 p.m. if the assessment books are ready.
