I have owned a home on Greewood Avenue for 66 years, and am one of the inhabitants. I shall keep on explaining to the past and some of the present town officials that they accepted a half deed on the nine house lots with the garage they bought from the Watson family in 1985. The other half of the deed is in probate court. It is the same five covenants that all 30 or more Greenwood Avenue inhabitants have. It cannot be dropped out of the deed. The officials of the town still have two more years left to request the complete deed from the Watson family.

In the meantime, I am hunting for a real estate lawyer who knows that covenants, restrictions, and easements cannot be dropped out of deeds.

I want to emphasize again that the Watson deed was subject to all that was written in the previous deed. The probate court has that recorded in its file. If restrictions can be dropped out of a deed when probate court says the restrictions are there, what good is probate court?

The person who sold the nine house lots to the town officials knew the deed was incomplete.

On Dec. 4, 1984, the owner sat in my home while we discussed the Greenwood Avenue covenanted deeds. He promised me he would bring me the proof that the nine house lots were not covenanted in probate court.

Five years later I am still waiting for him to appear at my home with the proof. Edna Madden Skowhegan
