R E S O L U T I O N
RESOL�I D, that the County Commissioners execute a quit claim deed, attested by the
Chief Clerk, to henry Majewski and Helen Majewski, his wife, of the City of Washington, for a trac
of land in Canton Township, Washington County, Pennsylvania, containing five acres, more or less,
fully described in form of deed which has been submitted, this deed being without consideration,
for the purpose of divesting whatever the County may or could have by reason of public tax liens
or claims against prior owners in the chain of title, the County being advised that the execution
of said deed will in no way prejudice any interest of the County, and that the same is made nec-
essary in connection with the Chartiers Creek Flood Control Project. Resolved further that the
Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners is authorized to acknowledge such deed on behalf of
the County.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Mr. Cummins, seconded by Mr. Mazza, that a refund voucher in the amount of
$9.41 be made payable to J. Arch Bromley, 155 Canton Avenue, Washington, Pennsylvania, to cover a
portion of Personal Property Tax paid July 20, 1961. On February 2, 1961, J. Arch Bromley filed
with the Washington County Personal Property Department his 1961 Personal Property return valued
at $1980. This valuation was based on 990 318 shares of Midland Oil Company at $2.00 per share.
Upon reconciling the return, the Personal Property Department found the quotation for Midland Oil
Company to be $4.50 per share and changed the return accordingly, making the valuation $4455. A
written request for the refund for the proportionate amount of tax based on the difference between
the above valuations ($2475) was submitted by Mr. Bromley. He explained the company, in which he
owns stock is located in Ohio (this was not specified on the return) and thc- quotation of $2.00 wa
correct (given by Sproat & Clark). Since the valuation was based on the quotation price for the
Midland Oil Company of Delaware, a refund is due for the proportionate amount of the total tax pc,
by Mr. Bromley. Therefore, the Personal Property Department of the Tax Assessment Office is herel
authorized to prepare said refund voucher in the amount of $9.41 made payable to J. Arch Bromley,
155 Canton Avenue, Washington, Pennsylvania.
Motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Mr. Cummins, seconded by Mr. Mazza, that the Washington County Engineer,
jj.,)Pettit, be directed to examine the premises of the Westside Land Company of West Brownsville
Borough, and if his finds show that the County's interest will not be adversely affected by the
dumping of materials into a ravine located alongside the Lane -Bane Bridge, then the Commissioners
will agree with the State and the Contractor to permit such dumping of approximately 130 cubic yas
of dirt providing it is agreeable with all municipalities concerned.
Motion carried unanimously.
