To the Honorable Mayor and Council of
th- City of Brunswick:
The finance committee to whom
was referred the communication of
B. Burroughs and D R. Martin,
asking Council to refund them the
sum of $59 95, the amount of taxes
paid the city on five-sixths of Old
Town lot No. 115 by the estate of J.
D. Watkins, beg leave to submit that
they rind, upon investigation of the
matter, that J. D. Watkins claimed to
have tlm legal title to the said lot up
to the time of bis death, and that be
paid the taxes tbereon for a number
of years, and only ceased paying be
cause the taxes were also paid by oth
er parties claiming the lot under the
head right grant of Urbanns Dart,
and because such payment would not
avail tlie party paying anything when
ever the tjuestion of title should come
up iu a suit at law. Mr. D. R. Mar
tin bought the claim of the party un
der tlie head right, some years since,
and Ims been, through bis agent., re-
tlulling and paying the taxes thereon.
After tiie death of Mr. Watkins, the
administratrix ofhisestnte, Mrs. Wat
kins. took possession of the property
by tin-losing the same, under the nd-
vh— of uer attorney, Mr. William Wil
liam-, and being then in possession of
tie- l-.t, she returned and paid through
in i- at.toruey and agent, the tuxes for
the wars 1880 and 1881, amounting
>o $od >J5- Iu tho meantime Dr. Bnr-
l oitgns had bought, one-half interest
in tin- claim of D. R. Martin, nnd on
looking over tho situation, bo thought
it advisable and best to buy out the
interest of the Watkins estate, which
was done by paying Mrs. Watkins the
sum of 8500 00 and the ainonnt paid
by her for taxes, and this was indeed
an exceedingly low price for tho prop
erty, till things considered. Both par
ties voluntarily returned tlie proper
ty, mol both parties voluntarily paid
the tuxes thereon. No compulsion,
■i ii. ( it.v..r, was used by the city in forc
ing u i■■iuru of the prop, r.y, or tlie
piu -.c-nt hi the taxes from either par
ty. The tuxes having been volunta
rily paid by one party, the city could
tint and certainly would not have
in.i n an effort to enforce the collec
tion of the taxes from tue other par
ty. The city cun out, us every one
knows, legally eulorce the collection
ot iui»ta upon properly but oue time,
bat. d several claimants come forward
an I nut only offer but insist upon
paying tho taxes upon the same prop
erty, eucb believing that be has the
legal title to the property, the cit
cannot legally refuse to receive tbe
amount from either of the claimants;
and having once received it from tbe
party voluntarily paying it, no law in
this State or country will compel tbe
city to refund tbe amount. Again, if
this amount be refunded, the prece
dent would be a bad one, and would
sui'ject the city, no doubt, to innu-
inei able applications for a like relief
from persons who bad voluntarily re
turned und paid tbe taxes on proper
ty which they believed belonged to
them. .
The committee uuder all tbe facts
and circumstances of this case must
report adversely to tbe refunding of
tbe said $59 95.
Respectfully submitted,

Committee.
Tne report was, on motion of Aid.
Littlefield, received and adopted.
To the Honorable Mayor and Council
of the City of Brunswick:
The finance committee,to whom was ZZ o/nZh Zh - f
referred the communication of A. A. of Health, with instructions to
Taft, asking Ooundl to refund him report at an adjourned meeting to be
tbe sum of $349 40, which sum he
supposes was left in tbe bands of tbe
City Treasurer from a sale of certain
lots in the year 1868, beg leave to
submit tbe following statement of
faeta- in relation thereto: These lots
were sold as the property ofthe’estate
of E. H. Eldridge, of tbe State of
Massachusetts. The lots had been re
turned by an agent, of tbe estate for
a number of years, and were returned
by him in the year 1867, but tbe par
ty managing the estate failed to fur
nish the agent with the money to pay
the taxes, and he was forced to let
tho property go to sale. There was,
at the time of sale, no redemption of
property allowed under the charter
of tbe city, but the party in charge of
the estate made efforts to do so, bnt
only succeeded in one instance. It
was certainly known to the agent and
the party iu charge of the estate that
the amount realized, beyond tbe pay
ment of taxes and costs, belonged to
the estate, and the probability is in*
deed very strong that such amount
wns paid over to tbe estate. If it
were not so paid, it certainly was not
the neglect or fault of tbe city, bnt
solely the ueglect or fault of tbe
ageut or party in charge of tbe estate.
An agent has returned nnd paid tbe
taxes on the remaining property of
the estate since snob sale, and it is
not probable that tbe parties interest
ed would have slept over their rights
all these years. The petitioner, air.
Taft, has recently purchased tbe prop
erty then belonging to the estate, and
it is hardly probable that he paid the
estate anything for tbii supposed
claim against the city. The commit
tee are constrained, under these facts,
to report adversely to refunding tbe
said amount.
Respectfully submitted,
Jesse Wilder,
J. J. Spears,

leavo to state that they have taken
tho matter into careful consideration,
and must report adversely thereto.
