These claims are for illegal tax certifi-
Gates and subsequent to the sale of 1871.
They are illegal for various reasons, such
SIS double assessments, assessments On
State lands, etc. If allowed by your
honorable body the different amounts
should be charged back to their respec-
tive towns with the exception of tax GER
| tificate No. 143, sale of 1871, which GER
tifcate, through an error OF Q. Even,
County Treasurer, Ia made chargeable
to the county of Manitowoc. Claims
have been presented by Z. 2. Eaton, A.
| Wallich, G.. Christianson, T. Schultz,
John Behnke, Ed. Borcherdt and sch )ol
dist. No. 5, town of Manitowoc, shedul
ed respectively K, L, M, n, 0, P, and
attached to this report. These claims,
under the advice Of our district attorney
have been rejected by your com. in con-
sequence of being barred by limitation
Of statute. The claim Of L. Mueller was
not acted upon by your com. for the rea-
son that he submitted no proof or state
Eent of the illegality of his certificates.
We find after careful examination of
the matter complained of by 2. Stoker,
and q due examination of the tax rolls of
the town of Franklin for the year 1873
and 1874, that the property of the said
Stoker was assessed no higher than that
of his neighbors, and therefore recon-
mend that his claim Of canceGng the in
terest now due upon his unpaid taxes for
the years 1873 and 1874 be disallowed,
and that he be compelled, like other men
to pay the full amount Of his taxes or
take the consequences OF the law III si1ch
case made and provided. The trustees
of the Polish Catholic Church have pc
titoned your honorable body that On the
9th day of May, 1872, they purchased
for said church, of Benz. Jones, among
other property, lot 7, block 298, in the
city of Manitowoc. For three successive
assessed and sold by the County Treas
urer for the taxes thereon. Your com.
! have examined the case carefully and

therefore recommend that the said tax
certificates, amounting in the aggregate
to $12.40, and now in the hands of the
County Treasurer, be cancelled, and the
same charged to the city Of Manitowoc.
We have examined the subject matter of
the petition of Jas. Savage, and find that
he cannot recover the overcharge paid
Fuessenich, his claim not being present
ed within the time prescribed by law.
Mr.. Savage offers to redeem tie certifi-
cate on the description omitted by Fues
senich in his receipt at its face; and your
com. would SO recommend to your hon
orable body, the certificate now being
held by the County Treasurer. Henry
Vogel petitions your honorable body
asking for the release of the interest now
accrued on several tax certificates held
by the county against q certain lot in the
city of Manitowoc near Rcef's brewery.
Mr.. Vogel says that he took the lot for
debt, has already paid large amount of
taxes on 1t that it is nearly worthless,
ETC., yet your com, has come to the con-
clusion that if be wishes to keep his lot
he must pay the full amount of taxes on
it, and would SO recommend. The pc
tition of Jos. Florentine sets forth that
in Sept. 1870 he paid the taxes on GER

Manitowoc Rapids. Said taxes amount
ed to 1892 and were received by 2. 2.
Fuessenich. Said Fuessenich gave Flor
entine q receipt therefor which, how
ever, was for piece of land that does
not exist on the sale book. In conse-
quence thereof Florentine had to again
pay his taxes, which he did in October,
1876, and which amounted to S19.16.
He asks the county to refund this amt,
and your CON-, after due examination,
find that he did not comply with the sta
tute which gives him no longer than two
years to present such claims, and there
fore recommend that the claim be reject
ed. A somewhat similar claim from John
Dworseck, asking for relief from the
frauds of Fuessenich, is also recon-
mended to be disallowed. The claim of
| G. Christianson in relation to taxes lille
gally assessed for the year 1874, in the
city Of Manitowoc, on WI of lot 16 and
WI of lot II n block 2z6, and for which
certificates No. 1922 and 1923 were is
sued, is recommended to be allowed and
said certificates ordered Cancelled and
their amounts charged back to the city
The subject matter Of the petition of
Lima Richter, your com. has not time
to examine, it being presented too late
IN the session. They would therefore
recommend that it be referred to spe-
