Counselor Gamble reported that he had concluded his investiga-
tion in regard to the Hefner Tax matter and had drafted a resolution
which covered the matter, and that the same had been approved by Mr .
Howell who had stated that if the matter was handled in the manner
provided for in the resolution, it would be very satisfactory. Counsel
presented the resolution which was offered by Justice Boyd, seconded
by Justice Dudley.
WHEREAS, there appears upon the Tax Sales Book of the
Receiver of Taxes a Tax Sale held on October 9th, 1883 for the Tax of
1882 affecting Lots 7-4-15 and 25 Map of Chatsworth, at which
sale the Town of Mamaroneck became the purchaser, and said premises
were thereafter in 1884 leased to the Town; and
WHEREAS from entires in the Sales Books it appears that about
1887 the Town of Mamaroneck assigned the aforesaid Tax Leases to one
Charles D. Sheppard and is credited with having paid the amount due
as owner, but which fact cannot be checked in as much as the Cash Book
for the year 1887 cannot be found; and
WHEREAS the said Charles D. Sheppard thereafter recorded
the leases for Lots 14-15 and 25, Map of Chatsworth, in the office
of the Register of Westchester County, N.Y. in Liber 1161 of Deeds,
but the lease of Lot 7 has nearer been recorded; and
WHEREAS it further appears that Lot 7 was never assigned
as is evidenced by the fact that the records of the Town Clerk shops
no assignment, and the original lease is actually in the posession
of the Town of Mamaroneck, a copy of which is in the Record of Leases
of the Town Clerk; and
WHEREAS from these facts it would therefore appear that
the Sales Book is in error in showing the assignment of Lot 7 to
Charles D. Sheppard, when in fact the lease is in the possession of
the Town of Mamaroneck;
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Receiver of Taxes be
and he hereby is authorized and empowered to correct the apparent
error in the Sales Book of 1883, showing the assignment of Lot 7,
Nap of Chatsworth to Charles D . Sheppard about the year 1887 in
such a manner that said Sales Book will show and record the lease of
Lot 7 Map of Chatsworth as still in the possession of the Town of
Mamaroneck in accordance with the facts as they appear from the
records of the Town of Mazaroneck; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that nothing herein contained shall
in any manner release any unpaid taxes, interest, penalties or any
other sum which may be due and unpaid, or which may come due on said
Lot 7.
A vote having been taken, the same was unanimously adopted .
Upon motion the meeting adjourned at 10 P.M.
Town Clerk.
