MEMORANDUM
August 14, 1981
TO: Hanger City Council
FROM: Robert E. Miller, City Solicitor
RE: Council Order 981-211 ]Condemnation
of Property at 107-109 Cumberland Street]
on your agenda f0[ consideration at yourext meeting i e Council
Order calling for the condemnation of the above indicated property. The
property is owned by the William Henry Griffin Heirs and the Heirs Of
Kathleen A. McCarthy. Mr. Griffin's Estate is being probated in the
Penobscot County Probate Court. However, we hive run into a snag because
of a question over
whom his heir are. We have a similar problem with the
Kathleen McCarthy Heirs. We know of two individuals who lived in 1966 in
Portland. However, we havenot beenabletoe ex
ascertain their act
whereabouts. I a working with dim Mooney, attorney for the William
Griffin Estate, to locate all people having an interest in the property.
Iam hesitant to recommend that the Council proceed to demolish
the structure based simply upon the published notice that we have given
without making further attempts to locate people having a possible property
interest in the real 'estate. For these reasons, I reluctantly must ask
that you open the public hearing, and receive any testimony that may be -
given by those who have been contacted orwish t speak. However. I
request that you continue the matter for4 weeks in order that we can
make another attempt t0 locate the parties at interest.

Dear Sir:
In regard to your letter of July 15, 1981, please
be advised that 107-109 Cumberland Street, Bangor does
not belong to our family.
Refer to 17 M.R.S.A. 2651 at seq.
After we were served with this paper,. we went to
Bangor City Hall and checked this out. We found that Mary
Griffin had a friend who lived in this house with her named
Kate McCarthy, no relation of ours.
Sorry we have taken so long to reply to your latter.
Incerel�t,
Joseph McCarthy
