and approved.
Collector Harrington reported that in connection with a pend-
ing transfer eecrow, involving Lots 41 and 42 of Block 12, Cardiff,
it appe ars that the Title Company had discovered that there is
outstanding and of record in the Recorder's office, unreleased
Certificates of Sa1e for th.e year 1916, 1917, and 1924 : of the Cardiff Irrigation District, and the San Dieguito Irri.gation
District, but that all subsequent assessments, according to the
books of this District, have been paid and that he, as Collector,
ha.d been unable to find any tax deed th at had been taken, b ased
. upon either of the aforesaid sales certificates. He reported
further that it was necessary that some release of such certificates
be given before the title to said. premises would. be approved by
the title comnany. He further reported that he was unable to as-
certain from the record.s of the District whether the amounts re-
presented by these certificates had. been.paid or not, and that it
was not possible to show from the reco.rds in rel ation to these o3:d,
accounts th at unquestionably the eame had not been paid.
• ~
Whereupon the Board conaidered the matter in view of the
uncertainty of the showing of the records that the District
had not been paid the amounts due under said certificates,
and in view of the long lapse of time eince the sales had
been made, and in vievn of the fact that all payments for
the last 12 years had been ctirrently made, and thereupan
the following resolution was offered by Director Files,
and its adoption moved by him, which motion w as second.ed
by Director Bov!tles, and the, same was thereupon adopted
by the affirmative vote of all directors present, to-wit:
` R E S 0 L U T I 0 N

that this District for itself, and as succeesor
dfi the Ca.rdiff Irrigation Dietrict, give its
Quit Claim Deed to the present owner of said
premises, sub1"ect only to the assessments for
the year 1936, and that when euch deed is pre-
pared, the President and the $ecretary be, and
