McElwee, a prior owner of property located at 169 Fifteenth Street, in the 19606 that had not been discharged at the time of payment. City records do not show any balance due for the tax years concerned, and do not reflect any transfer of the property to City ownership pursuant to the matured tax liens. In such cases, our normal assumption is that the taxes concerned were paid prior to foreclosure and that the City failed to record adischarge, o that the City accepted late payment and issued a quitclaim deed, which the taxpayer failed to record. The estate of Frances I. Larlee, successor to Ira McElwee, has requested a municipal quitclaim deed to clear the title. A closing is scheduled for June 23, 1998. The tax account is otherwise current. The attached Order, if approved, would authorize a release of the City's title. Our $70.00 deed preparation fee 1�will be charged.
