T G'© SOUTHERN TITLE BUILDING - ON THE PLAZA PHONE: F-51S1 94O TH I RI7•AVEN UE SAN .DIEGO 12, CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN TITLE BUILDING ON THE PLAZA Mr. Merideth L. Campbell Attorney at Law 400 National Ave. National City, Calif. Dear Sir: GEORGE HEYNEMAN PRESIDENT R. S. REED SECRETARY IN REPLY REFER TO NUMBER BELOW: - July 14, 1947 163373 We have been asked to insure the title to Lot 74 in Block 5 of Paradena Park, in the City of National City. An ovamination of the title to this property discloses that by deed dated April 25, 1929 and recorded July 3, 1929 in. Book 1660, page 53 of Deeds, there was conveyed to the City of National City the fee to the Easterly 60 feet of said Lot. We have been furnished with a certified copy of Resolution No.4400 vacating and closing a public street in the City of National City which, from the description contained therein, apparently covers a portion of said Lot 74. We assume therefore that:while the fee to the Easterly 60 feet of said lot was in the City of National City, all or a portion thereof was used- or perhaps intended to be used - as a public street. In order to insure the title to all of said lot to the present record title holders, namely Verner E. Hawkins and Gladys M. Hawkins, husband and wife as joint tenants, it will be necessary to procure from the City of National City to said Hawkins and wife, as joint tenants, a quitclaim deed for all that portion of said Easterly 60 feet of Lot 74 not now included in any public street. Apparently the vacation proceedings do not cover all of said Easterly 60 feet, leaving a portion thereof as a street. We note that in the copy of the Resolution closing said street, which we believe is a portion of Fairmount Avenue, no reference was made therein to the posting of the notice, required by the statute. As near as we have been able to ascertain, the Street Opening Act of 1889 and the alternative method of street vacation provided by Section 8322 of the Street and Highway Code, require posting of notices along the line of the street to be vacated not less than 300 feet apart and not less than three in all. This seems to be required in addition to the publication of the resolution electing to vacate the street. 163373 2. We will appreciate it if you will give us the facts regarding the. publication and posting in this street vacation proceeding, in order that we may determine whether or not we can insure the title to the vacated street. Mr. Rogers, the City Clerk, seems to be rncier the impression that it is not necessary for the City of National City to furnish a deed in connection with the above described property; however, as stated above, the fee title to this strip was conveyed to the City, and not merely an easement thereon. Very truly yours SOUTHERN TITLE & TRUST COMPANY John T. Hon, Attorney. T. Hon, Attorney. JT'H: cv
