Box 1401 BANGOR, MAINE 04402-1401 May 11, 1993 Mr. Erik Stumpfel City solicitor City of Bangor 73 Harlow Street Bangor, Maine 04401 93-382 Re: 202 Hammond Street, Bangor - Release of Tax -Acquired Interest Dear Mr. stumpfel: This confirms our conversation of May 10, 1993. It appears that a portion of the land under 202-204 Hammond Street is claimed by the City of Bangor by virtue of a tax lien or tax deeds. The tax card for 204 Hammond Street appears to depict the entire building on the two lots and does not differentiate between the two different parcels of land under the building. Apparently, a separate tax bill on 202 Banm:ond Street has not been given since at least 1983 and no notices of tax liens against the land under 202 Hammond Street have been given to the owner or mortgagee of record during that period of time. I hereby request the City of Bangor, acting through appropriate municipal officials, to deliver a release deed releasing whatever interest the City of Bangor may have in and to the land under 202 Hammond Street, and that the tax records be corrected accordingly. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. ve truly win red A. Stevens WAS/sd MAY 1 9 1093 LEGAL DEPARTlhENT
