Dear Bill:
This letter is to officially inform you that the City of Salem has been
awarded title of ownership to 27R March Street (3750 square feet, vacant lot)
by the Land Court of the Commonwealth through foreclosure proceedings. .
Based upon MGL Chapter 60, this property can be redeemed by any in-
terested party for a period of one year from November 20, 1990. Sub-
sequent to this period the property is available for disposition by the
City through public auction. Should this occur at some future date, the
City is entitled to recover all past due taxes, interest and fees that are
outstanding from any sale proceeds.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact me.
Sincerely,
R� 4NagleeRobert H.

RE: City of Salem vs . 27R March Street
Dear Bob:
I am enclosing a copy of the final judgment regarding the above
parcel of land. For your information, that parcel is a 3 , 750 square
foot parcel located at the rear of 27 March Street. It appears to be
an empty lot .
This property is now owned by the City of Salem under the
foreclosure proceedings that we commenced and brought to a conclusion.
Regarding this and other decrees I will be getting in the future,
I am setting forth the effect of this decree, as I see it:
1 . The title to the parcel passed to the City of Salem on
November 20 , 1990 .
2 . Title is absolute and the property is owned by the City.
3 . Taxes assessed through December 31 , 1991 are proper and can
be accumulated against the property. The property should no longer be
assessed as of January 1 , 1992 . 11
4 . You have no statutory duty for disposition of the property;
the City can deal with it as it would any other property owned by the
City.

5 . I believe that the appropriate department of the City should
be notified of the City ' s ownership of this property.
6 . Though the decree is absolute , any interested party could
bring a motion to vacate the decree within one year from the date
thereof . However, that person would also have to make arrangements to
pay the taxes , or it wouldn ' t make sense. Because there is this one
year period to vacate, no Title Examiner would close on the property
until the year went by.
7 . I have recorded the final judgment at the Registry of Deeds,
and I am closing my file.
I am enclosing our bill for services .
Very truly yours ,
