the third ward of the city of Nanitowoc i'll
what originally known as the west h.If Of
80, and divided and plated in the year 1865:
provided that the county viii sIIrro Iljei' 10 me
and cancel free of costs such and all certificates
as may be in the county treasury against prop

Il. JONES,
by 4. d. Joa,Es.
Have had The matter under consideration
and ask leave to report that II tie opir-
ion Of your committee it is i'll the inter
est OF the cCunty Of MaliiCwcc 10 make
/ Oh ar angemen5 with said 3. Jones re-
ati1g to such lots Gil wliob the county
intends to take tax deeds, as thereby the
| county would set clear title 10 a num-
Der Of lots. between SEQ and Geo, with
out The irouble, expense AID risk Of llti-
cation. From the way taxes lave been
levied and collected i'll CIR county 1t is
! probable that HE courts might declare
some taxes Illegal, thereby depriving tie
| county OF any rights acquired by tax
desds, while even with good tax deeds
the SAFE OF said property would be diti-
cult and only possible at very low fig
ures. HouT committee, however, have
not been able TO come to q definite con-
cirsion Us to the value of omit claim
deeds on tie property referred to, and
VIII not be euabled to do 50 before the
final adjournment Of this Board. 4 great
deal Of work Is necessary to find out the
amount Of taxes nov charged against
such property, and the value of the lots
TO be so decided to the county, whic h
would not be done ii the time this Board
VIII probably be in session, and your
committee therefore recommend that
they be allowed to sit after the adjourn
ment Of this Board, and to rerolt at
further session Of the Board, fer which
ton and recommend The adoption.
