Brunswick Officials Seek Title to Park Avenue Properties
The Mayor and Brunswick Council moved in equity court to foreclose all redemption rights in 11 13 14 Park Avenue Brunswick owned by former Councilman Ernest L Main and Ethel V Main. The town bought the properties at a 1951 tax sale for 21 dollars though taxes interest and a street assessment lien total about 364.13 dollars. Judge Patrick M Schnauffer ordered the Mains or others with an interest to appear by April 17 and show cause why a final decree should not direct the treasurer to deed the properties to the town upon payment of the purchase price plus taxes interest and penalties. The petition notes the properties have not been redeemed despite the one year and day redemption period expiring.
