Upon due examination, we find that the

other pieces described in a certificate of
purchase of the u. S. Land Office at Green
Bay, numbered 1857, and bearing date on
the lst day Of March 1886, issued in the
name of VIM. Jones. The purchase mon
ey for this tract, however, having not been
paid, the certificate in relation to it was
cancelled on the 23d of December, 1851
the land was actually entered by John
! Fitzgerald and w. d. Meeker, and patent
ed to them April 10Th 1856, as appears
from the records in the office of the Regis
ter of Deeds of Manitowoc County.
Your committee further find that since
1889 to 1854 inclusive, said BENJAMIN
Jones paid $40, 90 100 taxes assessed and
due upon the tract of land in question, to
repayment of which with per cent inter
est from the respective dates of payment
he is clearly entitled.
We therefore recommend that a County
order for $40 90 100 taxes, and S17,G9 100
interest at the rate of per cent per an
mum, N all s44 59-100, be issued to Ben
Ijamin Jones, and charged to the town OF
