The committee reported back the following
for claims on illegal taxes
To tie Honorable, tile County Board of Supervisors
of Wood County, WEScOnSIn:-
GENTLEMEN:-You petitioner would respectful
ly request that the certificates Nos. 1916 to 1859 in
elusive, on sale of 1880, be cancelled and the amount
charged back to the city of Marshfeld.
Said certificates are illegal, as your petitioner
believes, from the fact that said certificates are for
lots.from I to ID inclusive, OF block p, in the city of
Marsh6eld. There is no record of block % in said
city, and a tax title on said certificates would be lille
gal and void.
Your petitioner would therefore request that
said certificates be cancelled and amount, S3675, paid
to the county treasurer, with interest thereon at 7 per
cent, amounting to SIPS, be refunded to your petit
toner.
Respectfully submitted,
P. Buck.
The committee recommended that the claim be
allowed in full. On motion, the recommendation
was adopted.

therefor the sum OF SI4.34; that the lands therein
described were, during all of the year 1876, owned by
the Wisconsin Central Railway Co, and were so
owned by them until March 1, 1877, as will appear
from their deed Of sale, recorded in "P" of deeds,

said company, they were not assessable or subject to
