December 10, 1975 <br /> Page 2. <br /> on December 2, 1975, by Mr. James Ball for the year 1974. <br /> Apparently there is no way to tell whether the taxes originally <br /> sued for in 1923 were in fact paid. All we have is the current <br /> record, which shows no taxes due. In addition, a tax certificate <br /> was issued showing all taxes paid up through 1972. Under Article' <br /> 7258b, this is conclusive evidence of the payment of taxes in a <br /> court of law, although there is some authority to the effect that <br /> the tax certificate may be impeached upon a showing that the tax <br /> had not in fact been paid. According to Larry Broussard, we cannot <br /> go back that far and tell. Mr. Ball may be willing to pay the <br /> amount of that judgment to clear up his title. However, it is <br /> my suggestion that, based on the degree of difficulty involved in <br /> proving that the taxes have not been paid, and upon the fact that <br /> our records show all taxes to have been paid up to and including <br /> the year 1974,and based further upon Mrs. Huddleston's tax certifi- <br /> cate, the City of La Porte proceed to pass a resolution authorizing <br /> a quitclaim deed to James F. Ball, which would in effect deed all <br /> interests that the City of La Porte might have or claim in the <br /> . properties involved to Mr. Ball. <br /> If you wish further and more complete discussion of all of the <br /> legal ramifications involved, please do not hesitate to let me <br /> know by letter or by telephone. <br /> Very truly yours, <br /> 11~ ....... <br /> pe~her <br /> Attorn y at Law <br /> PA:wjn <br /> cc: Knox W.
