City of Chelsea v. Richard T. Green Co.

This is a petition filed in the Land Court for . foreclosure of the city’s tax title to land of the respondent. The respondent contended at the trial that the city’s lien was invalid on the ground that the assessments (which were for the years 1932-1938) on the parcel in question included with the land the cradle and motivating machinery of a marine railway located on the parcel, and that these were personal property. The Land Court made findings of fact and ruled that the disputed items were part of the real estate and that the assessments and the lien were valid. The respondent appeals.
