This offer was accepted by your Board and also by the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Dunn. The title at that time appeared to be satisfactory to Mrs. Moods attorney, Mr.I.R.Williams, but later Mr. Williams discovered that by error in the tax foreclosure proceedings the wrong lot on South Magnolia avenue was included in the tax foreclosure and that the County of Harnett and Town of Dunn did not have title to lot on South '°•agnolia Avenue, on which the offer from Mrs. Monds was based. The town Board of Commissioners at its meeting last month ordered that its part, that is, 58% of $75.00, or $275.50, be refunded Mrs. Monds. The County's part should it follow the same course as the town of Dunn, would be 42% of $475.00, or $199.50/ I an attaching to this report my personal check for $19.95 being by refund to Harnett County for its part of the commission on the sale paid to me by the County. I will also make the proper refund to the town of Dunn tonight at its regular monthly meeting. I recommend that a new suit be brought at once to include this lot in question in order that the County and town of Dunn may be in position to sell same. I also recommend that a quit claim be issued to A.B.Bethune by Harnett County in order to clear Mr. Bethune's title caused by error in the suit above referred to. Yours very truly, A.L.Newberry.
