Petition No. read as follows:
To the honorable county board of Marathon
county, Wisconsin.
been talk of developing water power on the
Wisconsin river at place known as the Roth
childs. The undersigned has taken up the
matter for the purpose of inducing capital to
build dam and developing water power, and
with that end in view has already secured OPP
tions on the fowage rights of practically all
the property owned by individuals and cOrpo-
rations along the river
Some of the low land owned by the county
and used by the asylum will necessarily be
flowed if this dam is built. Your petitioner
would ask that your honorable body authorize
some committee or the board of trustees of the
asylum to negotiate and name price on the
property owned by the county which will neces-
sarily be flowed. The reason for asking the
county to delegate this authority IS, that the
options now held will expire before the annual
meeting OF the county board. If we are able to
induce capital to build this dam and utilize the
power, it will put into circulation a large
amount of money in our county, and be of great
Denent 10 every citizen OF Marathon county.
