<br />
<br />Mr. D. F. Skene, of the hugene Abstract and Title Company, speaking for his
<br />client, owner of part of Lots 5 and 8 in Block 4, Eugene Original Addition, pointed
<br />out that the property had changed hands three times and had been searched twice by -
<br />two other abstract companies and once by himself and all searches showed no liens
<br />against the property. Now, the present owner is being asked to pay principal and
<br />. interest. He feels the same is not just. The matter was referred to the Judiciary
<br />2 Committee, City Attorney and City Engineer.
<br />
<br />Mr. Claire Kneeland 'addressed the council concerning certain assessments havin
<br />been placed agalnst his properties, one located at 1799 Fairmount. He wished to
<br />protest the entire amount as searches had been made and from all indications the
<br />I property was clear of all assessments. Although a small amount is involved, he feel
<br />. he should not be held responsible for the payment of the same. Then, on another
<br />I property in his family's estate which had been reported 'clear and all taken care of, -
<br />there is now a considerable amount in the way of principal and interest. In order
<br />to protect his interest, it would be necessary for payment to be made to prevent
<br />foreclosure and he has filed a written notice of protest with the City Recorder and
<br />the same is as follo~s (letter omitted). The matter was referred ill the Judiciary
<br />3 Committee, City Attorney and City Engineer.
