Reply to letter of the State Bank of Edmonds, Dec 2nd 1940.
December 17th, 1�40.
City Council of the City of Edmonds,
Edmonds, Washington.
Gentlemen:
My attention has been called to a letter addressed to you by State Bank
of Edmonds, under da#e of December 2nd., in which that hank, as owner of Bonds
7 to 10, inclusive, L.I.D. No.25, City of Edmonds, is asserting a claim against
the City for payment of its bonds by virtue of the fact that the City has recent
-ly contracted to sell Lots 22 to. 27, inclusive, Block 96, Plat of the City of
Edmonds.
It is my understanding that these lots were included in the above numbered
L.I.D.fl and also in a later Dostrict,, the bonds of_which were guaranteed under
the GuarantyeLaw of the State of Washington.
I am further advised that the City foreclosed the assessments, against said
lots, in the later guaranteed District, and that the sale -price, by the City,of
such lots does not exceed the amount paid out of the Guaranty Fund by virtue of
the delinquent assessments against said lite.
Assuming tgat these are the facts it is my opinion that.upon foreclosure in
the guaranteed district the City of Edmonds took title to these lots in trust
for the L.I.DQ Guaranty Fund, and that such fund was entitled to the proceeds of
such sale up to the amount which such fund had contributed as a result of the
delinquency in the Guaratiteed District
Since the sale -price does not exceed such amount it is further mu opinion
that the Guatanty Fund is entitled to receive the entire proceeds of the sale of
and that the City of Edmonds is not obligated in any way to pay Bonds 7, 8, 9,
and 10, of L.I.D.No.25, a previous unguaranteed district.
Yours very truly,
O.D.Anderson.
There being no further business .for this Council to performe,Mayor Fourtner
thanked them for their faithful labor in the interest of the City of Edmondag
on motion the Council adjourned sin a -die.
