larly elected. At the meeting how.
ever, Mr.. Schmallenberger appeared
before the board and declined to take

Resolved that, whereas there is
standing upon the tax records of this
county i large amount of taxes for
years prior to 1892, upon lands which
have been offered for sale for the tax
for two successive years and have re
ceived no purchaser; and, whereas Ger.
tain of said lands will, under the stat.
ute forfeiting the same to the state,
be dropped from the tax list and
thereupon become unproductive of
any revenue or tax; aud whereas. this
board upon due consideration believes
it to be to the interest of this county
to receive as redemption for such
lands the amounts for which the same
were sold to the state at the various
sales thereof when no other purchaser
was obtained, without penalties or in.
terest upon said amounts since such
sale to the state, rather than to per-
NIT such lands to become u%nproduc.
tive of revenue: Now therefore re-
solved, that as to all such lands here.
inbefore described the county treas
urer is hereby authorized to give re.
demption receipts to tho owners
or parties having 4 redemption
Interest therein upon pay
ment to him of the amount for which
the same were sold to the state at
such sale or sales for any such year
or years prior to the tax for the year
1892, provided however, that such in
terest and penalties shall not be abat'
ed unless redemption of such lands is
made as follows, viz:
From the tax of the year 1889 OF
prior years on or before July 3lst
1894. and from the tax for the years
1890 and 1891 on or before July 3lst
1894. Resolution carried unanimously,
