j accordance with the Act of May 17, 1939, P. L. 166, effective for the coming Primary to be j} held April 25, 1944; and that the action taken in Minute No. 20, under date of March 3, 1944, be here-
by rescinded as to that part thereof only fixing the rate of pay for constables, it appearing
that the same is in conflict with the Act of Assembly set forth above. Motion carried.
I
I Motion duly made and seconded that the County Treasurer be authorized to cancel
f
Treasurer's Tax Sale of March 24, 1942, to Huler E. McKinney, 52 Sumner Ave., Washington, Pa.,
covering property assessed in the name of Theodore Dyers in the Sixth Ward of Washington, de-
l� scribed as House & Lot 73,.—� E. Hallam Avenue, for the non-payment of 1935 County Tax, such sale
I
being in error in view of the fact that the said property was also assessed for 1935 County Tax
in the name of H. H. Williams, the rightful owner, and receipts have been produced showing payment
t
of the tax in question. Motion carried.
Motion duly made and seconded that the County Treasurer be authorized to cancel
Treasurer's Tax Sale of January 24, 1940 to Washington County, covering property assessed in the
name of John Rossi, in Smith Township, and described as Lot No. 7, Donnan Plan, for the follow-
ing reasons: Said lot, assessed in the name of John Rossi, was sold at 'Treasurer's Tax Sale
in 1921 to John Reagan, who in turn sold it to Leon Kasmacki, in whose name it is now assessed.
However, at the time of the sale in 1921 John Rossi was not the owner of said lot and, in
accordance with an opinion handed down by Judge Burnside in a similar case, the 1921 sale would
be void and Leon Kasmacki is not the rightful owner. Said Lot No. 7, together with No. 8 and
No. 9 in the Donnan Plan, were purchased by Leon and Juliette Donez, but records do not show
Lot No. 7 as being assessed to them. By conveyance through the Donez chain of title, Battista
Maroni is now the owner of Lot No. 7. motion carried.
Motion duly made and seconded that the County Treasurer be authorized to cancel tax
sale of April 25, 1940 to Washington County, covering property assessed in the name of Margaret
Vernon in East Pike Run Township, described as Lot No. 220 in West Side Land Company Plan, such
sale being in error in view of the fact that the assessment upon which the sale was made was a
duplicate of the assessment of Marko Patrlyja for the years in question, Margaret Vernon never
having owned said Lot No. 220, Motion carried.
Motion duly made and seconded that the County Treasurer be authorized to abate penalty
and interest on delinquent 1938 County Tax assessed in the Third "hard of the City of Washington
in the name of Washington Trust Company against property now owned by Nellie V. Bryant in view
of the fact that the said tax was not included in a statement of taxes issued by the County
Treasurer's Office to the present owner, Nellie V. Bryant, at the time of purchase. Motion carried.
There being no further business before the Board, the meeting was adjourned.
