Letter from Fr. Dominic O’Connor

1 p.; typescript

Letter from Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. to Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap. referring to a property tax matter concerning the old parish house site in Hermiston, Oregon. The county sold the property for taxes, and the city subsequently purchased it. The city’s mayor, who is Catholic, requested that the Capuchin Order issue a ‘quit-claim deed’ so the county can remit the taxes back to the city, which is utilizing the site for federal relief and ‘ABCD schemes’. Father Dominic notes that the property itself is otherwise worthless and requests swift approval to authorize Father Luke Sheehan (the Corporation Sole) to execute the deed before the County Court issues its final tax-remission decision in five or six weeks.
