On Friday morning, January 3rd, 1t was brought to our attention
that a closing was
scheduled on the property at 59 Lincoln Street
that afternoon. A .title search done by the local law firm of Cohen
s Cohen who was handling the closing for the seller, Kenneth J.
Wentworth, disclosed several undischarged tax liens on the record
against the property. The liens concerned were for tax years
1981-64, 1988 and 1989. Records in the City Treasurer's office
indicated that the taxes concerned had previously been paid as part
of the City's sale of this tax -foreclosed property to Mr. Wentworth
in November, 1995. In order to facilitate the closing that day, a
quitclaim deed was prepared. On Monday, January 6th the City
received payment of the applicable administrative quitclaim fee.
This Resolve would ratify execution and delivery of t/h�1a�t deed.
