report which on motion was accepted
and adopted,
To the Honorable. The County Beard of Super
Visors of Pierce Co -
Your committee to whom was referred the
m atter of Illegal tax deed to }, ii. Bsustead,
the payment OF illegal taxes by Merse Moody,
the illegal tax sale certificate issued to Z. W.
Youngman, and the request OF ,. A. 1reen tor
the cancellation OF certain tax sale certlheate;
Il Al, affar anho
make the fOlle wing report and recommendation
viz: =.
pears to have been assessed and sold for taxes
of 1873 and on the 9th day of Dec, 1859, com
veyed to J. III. Beustead by tax deed for that
tax. We find that there is no such descriptions
of land and recommend that the amount OF tax
and fees, with interest on the amount OF the
face Of the certificate at per cent, be refund
ed to j. II. Boustead whenever he executes to
Pierce County good and sufficient quit-eialnl
deed and that the amount be charged back by
the County Treas. against ms town Of Isabelle.
The sw Of sw and NV of Sc section ., town q,
range 10, on which the taxes of 1881 were pald
by Morse IL Moody under title by tax deed
which was ordered cancelled by this Board at
its last annual session. we hnd that the lands
were not taxable for the reason they were va
cant State Lands and recommend that the
amount of the receipt with per cent. interest
be refunded to said Morse II Moody and the
same charged back by the county treas. against
A part Of the ne of no section 10, tswn 20,
range II, as described in book l. OF Deeds on
page 10 appears to have bean sold at tax sale
for the taxes of 1878. Sale of 1879, tax sale GER
titieate No $40. to q. w. Ioungman, we find
that this certificate is void fer tho reason that
the deed recorded on the page REFEREES to con
veys lands in another town wholly, undoubtedly
a mistake of the assessor in noting ths book and
page. We recommend that this certlhcate be
cancelled and the amount refunded TO the own
er with interest at Z per cent. andi that the
amount be charged back by the County Treas.
against the town of Ellsworth
4 part st Sc of sw section y, town u, range 10,
was sold for taxes of 1889. sale of 1883, as N
mart OF that forty. This certificate is void on
its face and should be cancelled ia order to pro
teet s. 4. Green who claims TO own land thai
this vague description might be construed to
cover, ON which the taxes were paid we there
fore recommend that the certificate be canesll-
ed and the amount thereof with interest at per
cent be refunded to the rightful owner thereof
and the amount charged back by the County
Treas against the town of Maiden Rock.
