The question of the adoption of the
report coming up Mr.. GLENN moved
that the same be adopted. Motion
carried.
Mr. ROBBINS, chairman of the
Finance committee, presented thereports
OF the County Clerk and County Treas
urer. Also produced list of can
cellei orders remaining i'll the County
Clerks office, which had remained un-
called for for the period of two years,
which caused spirited discussion; it was
finally decided to allow the chairmen of
the several towns to take such orders as
were for persons known by them in their
respective towns and the remainder
were destroyed as by law required.
Mr.. ROBBINS then presented a reso-
luton from the Finance committee as
follows:
Resotred BY the County board Of Supervisors
| of Grant county, Wisconsin. that the county
clerk of Grant county be and he Is hereby author
| lied and directed to execute in the name of his
Office tax deeds to Grant county of all lands sold
for taxes and npOn which the county holds certi-
hcates and which are subject to deed in accordance
with the provisions of the law; and that he pro
cure the necessary proofs of non occupancy and
service of notice for tax deed where snch lands
occupied.
II is hereby further resolved that the County
Clerk Of Grant county be and he is hereby author
lZed and directed TO cancel the sales of all such
lands sold for taxes where il shall appear thar the
assessment for the year for which such tract W
sold was donbly assessed or where the tract was
exempt from taxation by law. where the des-
cription of the tract is erroneous 50 defective
that the tract cannot be definitely located, and
after such cancellation charge the amount of taxes
ana costs OF sale, without interest, to the several
towns in said county from which the several
tracts so sold are returned.
Mr.. HUBBELL moved the adoption of
the resolution. Resolution adopted.
Mr.. JONES presented bill from
Judge McGonigal for canvassing the
general election returns. Referred to
committee on Claims.
The report of standing committees
being in order, Mr.. RoDoLF thought the
committee on County Roads ought to
present report SO the people could see
what had been done, as otherwise the
proceedings of the Board would not
show this.
Mr.. WATSON, chairman of that COM
mittee, thought any action of the com
mittee was final; had referred the mat
ter to lawyers and had been instructed
that the decisions were final and there
fore no report was necessary. If re-
cord of the work of the committee was
wanted it would be found at the County
Clerks office.
Mr.. RoDOLF thought this treatment
of the question rather frigid. The gen
tleman was not aware that the supreme
court had ever said that this committee
should not report. The county would
like some information as to what had
been done.
Mr.. HUBBELL was of the opinion that
this committe should report us well as
the committee on Claims or any other
committee. The gentleman said there
was report called for last year. He
would like to see the work of the COM
mittee embodied in report. He knew
the committee was doing good work but
would like to see a report. If the gen
tleman was not ready this year hoped
one would be made at the next annual
session.
MIR. CLARK offered substitute 10 the
resolution presented by the gentleman
from Boscobel (MR. HUBBELL) in the
matter of increasing the salary of the
County Judge, as follows:
Resofced, BY the County board of Supervisors of
Grant county, Wisconsin, that VIM. Mc{ionigal.
County Judge of said county do employ clerl,
for his said Office and that there is hereby appro-
priated the sum of four hundred dollars per year
for the pay of the said clerk and the Treasurer of
said county is directed TO pay to said clerk the
said four hundred dollars in quarterly instaments
upon the certificate OF said VIM Mc(ionigal county
judge that he has employed said clerk and that
said clerk has faithfully and satisfactorily served
rs such clerk.
Laid over under the rules.
MIR. ROBBINS moved the board ad-
journ until 9. a. m. Motion carried

Nix. KIDD (Millville) asked the pur-
pose of such withdrawal.
Mr.. ARNOLD explained that some

necessary.
Mr.. KIDD (MiIlville) offered resolu-
ton authorizing the chairman to appoint
