This was referred Assessors for approval. Knauor, representan apportionment a metes and bounds to the Board of April 3» 1946: Estates of Robert E.

Pleasant did not pick up the subdivision properly and it is possible the Title Search Company, in using the records of the Town of Mt.Pleasant,, arrived at the wrong conclusion. Dr. Schole has owned this property for over twenty-five (25) years, and suddenly discovers he is receiving a tax bill with the improper designation of his property. In my opinion, the variance should not be granted. ver^ truly yours, Victor R.
