TO ALL PEOPLE TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
I, TIMOTHY L. MONERY, Collector of Taxes, for the Town of Charlestown, County of
Washington and State of Rhode Island, for the year 1931,
SEND GREETING: WHEREAS the taxpayers of said Town of Charlestown, at their
annual Financial Town Meeting duly notified and held on the 11th day of April, 1931,
voted that a tax of one dollar and twenty-five cents on each one hundred dollars valuation
of the taxable real estate and taxable personal property expressed in said Town be assessed on the
15th day of June A. D. 1931, and which said tax was assessed in accordance with said vote
on the 15th day of June A. D. 1931, and the tax bill in due form delivered to me with the
warrant duly signed attached thereto, by the Town Treasurer of said Town, requiring me to
proceed according to law and collect said tax and place the same in the Town Treasury of
said Town.
AND WHEREAS, Frances P. Francis, neglected to pay the tax assessed against her as
expressed in said tax bill amounting to the sum of one dollar and twenty-five cents ($1.25),
and in consequence thereof I did on the 20th day of July, A. D. 1932 levy warrant upon
a certain tract of land belonging to said Frances P. Francis, in said Charlestown, and did
advertise the same for sale at three public places in said Charlestown, viz: Town Clerk's
Office, Charlestown Post Office, Charlestown, and Grinnell's Garage, Charlestown, and divers
other places in said Town, and also in the Westerly Daily Sun, a newspaper published in the
Town of Westerly, Rhode Island, for more than twenty days preceding to said sale, and on the
17th day of August, A. D. 1932 at ten o'clock, A. M., Daylight Saving Time, I proceeded to
sell at public auction the premises taxed as aforesaid, and Edwin Fisher, acting as agent for
Charlestown Estates, Inc., was the highest bidder therefore.
NOW, KNOW YE, that in consideration of the sum of ten Dollars and forty-nine cents
($10.49) to me paid by said Charlestown Estates, Inc., the receipt whereof I hereby acknowledge,
I do hereby sell and convey unto the said Charlestown Estates, Inc., its successors and
assigns forever, all the right, title and interest which said Frances P. Francis had in
and to said premises at the time of assessing said tax, with all the appurtenances thereto
belonging, for a description of which reference is hereby made to deed on record in Land
Evidence Book No. 13, Page 87-88, in the Town Clerk's Office of said Town of Charlestown.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same to the said Charlestown Estates, Inc., its successors and
assigns forever, (subject to the right of redemption as provided by law).
And I, the said Timothy L. Monery, Collector of Taxes, as aforesaid, do covenant with
the said Charlestown Estates, Inc., its successors and assigns, that I have advertised said
property as hereinbefore stated and have complied with the terms of the law regulating the
collection of taxes.

August, A. D. 1932.
