COUNTY CLERKS ANNUAL REPORT.
To The County Board of Supervisors Of
Marathon County, Wis.
GENTLEMEN:-In conformity with
Sec. 100 of the Revised Statutes of Wis
consin, 1898, l herewith present for
your consideration and approval, the
annual report of all transactions of a
monetary character had in my office
during the year 1901.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1902-02-04
lars, being less than ten per cent of the

lars, being less than ten per cent. of the
real value of said property.
That the real estate OF said corpora
ton is assessed far below its real value
and that said corporation has sold lands
reserving all the timber thereon and
strip Of land one hundred feet in widta
for its said railroad for a much higher
price than the lands were assessor ln-
GLIDING the timber standing thereon.
That your petitioners are much over
taxed in consequence OF the under
valuation of the property OF said Il.
Conner Company, and that they have
no redress from the town officers and
cannot expect any redress from them
for the reason that said company sue
ceeds at every election to elect officers
of its own choosing, by having IFS mill
crew vote as the corporation wishes
when many and perhaps most of said
men so employed by said corporation
are not bona tide voters of said town,
but reside only temporarily therein.
Your petitioners further say that they
are able and willing to prove all the
facts herein alleged at any time your
Honorable body may see TT 10 give
them an occasion SO to do, and they re-
specially ask you to advise them how
to obtain relief from the r-burdened
taxation caused by the acts and by the
dishonesty of said corporation in evad-
ing its just taxation.
Your petitioners cannot afford to ask
the aid of courts, each one for himself.
and they are advised that they cannot
sue in their collective capacity; that
your petitioners cannot bring a suit
each one in its own capacity for the
reason that the remedy in such case
would be more expensive than the evil
sought to be corrected.
Your petitioners respectfully inquire
of you whether there is NO remedy
for them and if they must be contiuu-
ously subjected to this unjust, illegal
and fraudulent taxation, and whether
said corporation can keep on SO dis
honestly and corruptly to evade the
payment of its fair share of the taxes
of said town?
Your petitioners pray for an answer

schools and the certiiication ~ teachers
are of interest to us. There are in the
county eight graded schools Of three or
more departments and three schools OF
two departments The schools at Colby
and UEity being connected with high
schools do not come under the pro-
visions of the new law. The school at
Schoiield did not comply with the pro
visions of the law respecting the quail
fications of its teachers and Is not listed
as state graded school. The schools
at Mosinee, Edgar, Straiford, Spencer
and Athens will rank a. graded schools
of the first class and will draw three
hundred dollars per year aside from the
state school fund income. The schools
at Norrie, Fenwood and joint district
number one, towns Of Easton and Nau-
san will draw one hundred dollars as
graded schools Of second class. These
schools are now subject to state inspec-
ton and the county superintendent
shares with the state department
authority to supervise and direct the
grading and equipment Of the school.
After January lst 1872. all applicants for
teachers certificates must pass an exanination
in the element. OF agriculture. AFTER July 1T;
