TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
I, DAVID B. MILLS, Collector of Taxes, for the Town of Charlestown, County of
Washington and State of Rhode Island, for the year 1932,
SEND GREETING: WHEREAS the taxpayers of said Town of Charlestown, at their
Financial Town Meeting duly notified and held on the 11th day of April, A. D. 1932, 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 on the
15th day of June, A. D. 1932, and which tax was assessed in accordance with said vote on
the 15th day of June, A. D. 1932, 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, A. V. G. Dormeus, et ux., neglected to pay the tax assessed against
them as expressed in said tax bill amounting to the sum of one dollar and eighty-eight
cents ($1.88), and in consequence thereof I did on the 19th day of June, A. D. 1933 levy
said warrant upon a certain tract of land belonging to said A. V. G. Dormeus, et ux., in
said Charlestown, and did advertise the same for sale at three public places in said
Charlestown, viz Town Clerk's Office, Town Hall, Savitt's Filling Station, 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 July, A. D. 1933, at ten o'clock, a. m. Daylight Saving Time, I proceeded
to sell at public auction the premises taxed as aforesaid, and Edwin Fisher, of Charlestown,
town, Rhode Island, was the highest bidder thereof.
NOW, KNOW YE, that in consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars and Twenty-Six
Cents ($10.26) to me paid by said Edwin Fisher, the receipt whereof I do hereby acknowledge,
I do hereby sell and convey unto the said Edwin Fisher, his heirs and assigns, forever, all
the right, title and interest which said A. V. G. Dormeus, et ux. had in and to said
premises at the time of assessing said tax, with all the appurtenances thereto belonging,
for a description of said premises reference is hereby made to deed on record in Land
Evidence Book No. 13, Page Nos. 275, 276 and 277, in the Town Clerk's Office of said
Town of Charlestown.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the same to the said Edwin Fisher, his heirs and assigns,
forever, (Subject to the right of redemption as provided by law).
And I, the said David E. Mills, Collector of Taxes, as aforesaid, do covenant with
the said Edwin Fisher, his heirs and assigns, that I have advertised said property as
hereinbefore stated and have complied with the terms of law regulating the collection of
taxes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and seal this 19th day of July,
A. D. 1933.
