In a 20 minute special meeting Venice City Council voted to write off liens penalties and interest totaling 16847.47 on county owned property east of the Tamiami Trail and settle for taxes only. This clears several lots for Sarasota County to return to the tax roll and enables Masonic Lodge No 301 to acquire land for a temple near Venice Avenue and the Tamiami Trail. The action drew mixed views from local figures including real estate broker Finn Casperson who warned of potential cost as a precedent, while city attorney M A Braswell amended the resolution to require payment of the taxes due on receipt of the principal. A budget presentation is set for Tuesday at 7 30 pm at the Civic Center for 1955 56.
