INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS
Date: November 201, 1951
To: Mrs. Willie J. Brockman, City Manager
From: George E. Murphy, City Attorney
Subject: Sale of Property Acquired for Delinquent Taxes --Page #2.
COMMENT:
the price offered for the lots in the Oakwood Addition
is perhaps high and that the price offered more or less
equalizes the value. Mr. Eason will not buy one without
the other, as he feels that we are high on the Oakwood
lots and reasonable on the North Addition lot, and that
he has a better chance of coming out on the four lots
than he would by buying any of them separately.
In my opinion Mr. Eason will have difficulty with
his title to these lots, as we will be able to give him
only a special warranty deed and give him only such title
as we have and I am sure there are a number of irregular-
ities in this type of title. Another matter that prompts
us to make recommendation is the fact that these four lots
have been off of the tax rolls since the date of our judg-
ment and by selling them at this time they will be placed
on the tax rolls again as of January 1, and we will be
able to collect taxes for next year.

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
CITY OF BEAUMONT, TEXAS
Date: November 20, 1951
To: Mrs. Willie J. Brockman, City Manager
From: George E. Murphy, City Attorney
Subject: Sale of Property Acquired for Delinquent Taxes.
COMMENTP-
The deed and resolutions attached hereto are in
connection with the matter discussed with you by Mr.
Terry and myself a few days ago.
On April 7, 1947 we took a judgment against a
number or Parminter heirs whose addresses were unknown
at that time. We sued them in their name and "The
l unknown heirs and legal representatives of, etc."
We obtained judgment to cover City and School taxes
in the amount of $899.03 and County taxes in the amount
of $368.80, making a total of $1267.$3.
We foreclosed our lien on Lots 11, 2 and 3, in Block
17'of the Oakwood Addition and the property was sold at
sheriffts sale and bought in by us in May, 1947.
The amount of our original tax was $568.00 and
the lots were carried at a valuation of $$70.00. Win-
ston Eason has offered us $1267.83 (the amaunt of our
judgment) for these -three lots.
In November, 1947 we obtained judgment against the
R. M. Mothner Estate for delinquent taxes on Lot 9, Block
58 of the North Addition in the sum of 0564.53, represent-
ing $384.12 City and School taxes, and 180.41 County
taxes. This property was sold at sheriffts sale and bought
in by us to cover our judgment.., The original tax owing
the City and School on this property was $270.62. The
property is carried on our rolls for a valuation of $600.00.
Mr. Eason has offered us the sum of $564.53 (the
amount of our judgment) for this lot.
After making a study of these two offers Mr. Terry
and I recommend that we sell these four lots for the
amount of our judgment, totaling $1832.36. We feel that
the amount offered for the lot in the North Addition is
perhaps less than its market value, but we also feel that
