Dorset conducts its first tax sale in years as Al Finzer buys about 300 acres for 4500 dollars. The parcel on Danby Mountain Road carried a delinquent tax burden of 3908.10 dollars with interest and fees. The land was part of a 1970s joint venture by four couples including Rep. Orrin H. Beattie and his wife, who cited past disputes and missed payments from fall 1974. The sale also included a ten acre Scallop Drive parcel, with high bidders paying 10 percent at once and the remainder by April 30.
