From an examination of the above described abstract of title, and
basing my Opinion solely upon the same, I am of the opinion that as of the
12th day of Warch, A. D. 1943, at 8:00 A. M., the fee simple title to the'
above described property was vested in
THOS. McDONALD and BEATRICE McDONALD, his wife,
subject to -
FIRST Taxes fo r the year 1942 which appear to be delinquent and
taxes for the year 1943 which, while not yet payable nevertheless constitute
liens upon the property under search.
SECOND
Restrictions contained in that certain warranty deed from
Miami Beach Bay Shore Company, a Florida corporation, by Irving A. Collins,
Vice-President, to T. F. Santry, dated March 8, 1929,and filed for record under
Clerk's File No. E9895, which restrictions are not set forth in the abstract.
However, the abstract does state that the deed contains no reverter clause.
THIRD It is noted that the zoning ordinance of the City of Miami
Beach as it existed May 11, 1929, so far as it applied to the above lot, was
held invalid by the Circuit Court in and for Dade County, Florida.

aocurate survey of the premises by a oompetent civil engineer.
