TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME:
I, DAVID E. MILLS, Collector of Taxes, for the Town of Charlestown, County of

SEND GREETING: WHEREAS, the taxpayers of said Town of Charlestown, at their
annual Financial Town Meeting duly notified and held on the 10th day of April, A. D.
1933, voted that a tax of one dollar and twenty cents on each one hundred dollars val-
uation of the ratable real estate and tangible personal property in said Town, be assessed
on the 15th day of June, A. D. 1933, and which tax was assessed on the 15th day of June,
A. D. 1933, 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 proceeds of the same in the Town Treasury of said Town.
And WHEREAS, CAROLINA COMPANY, neglected to pay the tax assessed against it as
expressed in said tax bill amounting to the sum of Sixty-eight Dollars, Forty Cents ($68.40)
and in consequence thereof I did on the 16th day of July A. D. 1934 levy said warrant upon
a certain tract of land belonging to said Carolina Company, in said Charlestown, and did
advertise the same for sale at three public places in said Charlestown, viz: Town Clerk's
Office, Town Hall, Gawitt's Filling Station, and diver 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 15th day of August, A. D. 1934, at
one o'clock, p. m., I proceeded to sell at public auction the premises taxes aforesaid,
and ATLAS CORPORATION, a Rhode Island corporation, of the City and County of Providence,
State of Rhode Island, was the highest bidder therefore.
NOW, KNOW YE, that in consideration of the sum of Sixty-seven Dollars and Thirty-
two cents ($67.32) to me paid by said ATLAS CORPORATION, the receipt whereof I do hereby
acknowledge, I do hereby sell and convey unto the said ATLAS CORPORATION, its successors and
assigns forever, all the right, title and interest which said Carolina Company, had in and
to said premises at the time of assessing said tax, with all the appurtenances thereto be-
longing; for a description of said premises reference is hereby made to deed on record in
