celled without any Of their respectiv
amounts being charged back to the severa
assessment districts, in which the land GOV
cred by these certificates are respectively
situated. And as a reason for such recon-
mendation we would state that it appears
that the lands covered by the aforesaid Ger
tifcates are almost all, if not all, occupied
lands and that therefore it is now too latt
to give the notice required by law for the
duplication for tax deeds and the said certi
fcates are therefore at the present time
practically outlawed. To charge back the
amounts Of these certificates to the several
assessment districts would be man;testly
uni just, because the officers Of these districts
have discharged their duties under the law,
fully in the premises an; if there was any
omission or aglect it was by the county
II. That tie schedule hereto annexed
marked ''B" and hereby mace part Of this
report, contains statement of the tax GER
tificates which now belong to the County
and which are also in the same position and
disability, as those enumerated in said sched
ule GA, but the descripto contained in
which certificates are all either imperfect
and irregular of which certificates cover
waste lands not taxable
We recommend that all the certificates
enumerated IN said schedule 3d." be can
celed and that their respective amounts be
charged oack to the several assessment dis
tricts, in which the land covered by these
certificates are respectively situated, aud as
reason for such recommendations we
would state, that, although these certificates
are practically outIawed for the reasons
herein above stated, yet they were void from
the beginning because the officers of the
several assessment districts, in which the
lands covered or intended to he covered, by
these certificates are respectively situate,
had not done their full duty under the law
in the premises aud not to charge back the
amount of these certificates to land districts,
as aforesaid would uni lsty infict a loss
upon the County.
III. That the schedule hereto annexed
marked "C' and hereby made part OF this
report contains statement of the tax GER
tiicates, which now belong to this County
and which Deeds can yet hereafte be ap-
piled for, but the descriptions contained in
which certificates are all rather imperfect
and irregular or they cover waste lands not
taxable. This schedule also contains few
certificates now remaining in the hands Of
the County Treasurer, but which were al
ready cancelled bv former Boards.
We recommend that the certificates emu
merated in the said schedule &C." except
those already cancelled by former Boards,
and their respective amounts, except those
which hare been already charged back be
charged back to the several assessment dis
trcts in which the lands covered, or in
tended to be covered are respectively sit
uate.
". That the schedule hereto annexed
marked D. and hereby made part of this
report contains a statement Of the lands
upon which the taxes for the year 1876 was
returned to the county treasurer as unpaid
and delinquent, and the amount of such
taxes, but which lands were n OF sold By the
county treasurer, in compliance with
statute to that effect, for the reason that
they were either illegally assessed, or clear
ly imperfectly described, IS it appears from
the returns of the several town, village or
city treasurers to the county treasurer.
We recommend that the amounts of de-
lInquent taxes, which are enumerated in
the said schedule "D' be charged back to
the several assessment districts, in which
the lands so returned and remaining unsold,
as aforesaid, are respectively situate.
V. That the schedule hereto annexed
marked "E" and hereby made part of this
report contains statement of the tax GER
tfcates, and of tax deed, belonging to in
diyiduals, but which are void either on ac-
count of having been adjudged illegal and
void by the judgment of the circuit court
Of this county, or on account of containing
imperfect and irregular descriptions, or on
account that the tax for the pretended non,
payment OF which they were issued, had
previously been actually paid and discharg
ed.
We recommend that the certificates and
the deed enumerated in said schedule ''E"
be charged back with interest to the sew
al assessment districts, in which the lands
covered or intended to be covered by them
are respectively situate.
VI Thst the schedule marked ssF" here
to annexed and hereby made part Of this
report is &; certified copy of judgmen. OF
the circuit court of this county dated Sept.
Sd, 1877, for $l02 Sc costs and adjudging

CO ering lands situate in the village of
Waterloo, void and of no effect and in favor
of L. K. Greene ct al, plaintiffs against The
Board of Supervisors of jefferson County,
defendants.
We recommend that an order be issued
for the amount of said judgment with in
terest payable TO the order of the said
plaintiffs attorneys |. w. & G. W. Bird, and
be delivered to them upon their satisfying
and discharglng the said judgement of re-
cord, and further that the amount OF such
order be charged to the village of Waterloo.
We should also further recommend gen.
orally, that in all cases of cancellation OF
certificates or deeds and issuing County or
ders to the respective holders of the same
or in charging back amounts to the several
assessment districts, that its interest be
computed up to the last day of the session
Of this board inclusive at the legal rate.

GA" 'B" and ''C' respectively have been
delivered by the County Treasurer to your
committee and they are herewith in open
Board delivered to the County Clerk. All
OF which is respectfully aubmitted.
