TO ALL PEOPLE TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
I, TIMOTHY L. MONEY, 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 called on the 13th day of April, 1931, voted that a
tax of one dollar and twenty-five cents on each one hundred dollars valuation of the ratable
real estate and tangible personal property in said Town be 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, Julia M. Rice, 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, and in
consequence thereof I did upon the 20th day of July A. D. 1932, levy said warrant upon a
certain tract of land belonging to said Julia M. Rice, 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 previous 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
it public auction the premises taxed as aforesaid and Charlestown Estates, Inc., by its
agent Howard E. Thorp, was the highest bidder therefore.
NOW, KNOW YE, that in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars and fifty cents ($10.50)
to me paid by said Charlestown Estates, Inc., the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge,
I do hereby sell and convey unto the said Charlestown Estates, Inc., its successors and assigns,
forever, seven eighths (7/8) of all the right title and interest which said Julia M. Rice had
in and to said premises at the time of assessing said tax, with all the appurtenances thereto
belonging to said seven eighths interest, for a more particular description of which reference
is hereby made to deed on record in Land Evidence Book No. 16, Pages 490 and 491, 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. Money, 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 that I have complied with the terms of the law regulating
the collection of taxes.
