Petition No. 2.
To the Honorable, the Board of Sa.
pervisors Of Villas County, Wiscon-
sin.
Your petitioner, George W.Williams
of Eau Claire County, Wis, respec--
fully represents and shows that he is
the owner of the N. w. u of S. w.
Il. of section IS, town 40, range S
east, in Villas County, Wisconsin, and
that the same is unimproved cutover
lands and of no greater value as
your petitioner is informed and be-
lieves, than the average of unimprov-
ed cutover lands in that vicinity. That
although your petitioner does not re-
call che exact valuation placed there
on for the taxes Of 1895, yet your pc
titioner remembers that the tax there
on, for said year was about $147.G).
while the taxes on tle adjoining for
ty, which is of substantially the same
Character and value, and is owned by
your petitioner also, namely S. w. 4
of IS. w. Il of said section, was some
thing less than $500 per forty and
other lands generally of the same
character and value, il that vicinity,
were not taxed for said year, on the
average, to exceed $500 per forty,
Wherefor, your petitioner prays
that an order be made by your honor
able board permitting your petitioner
to redeem said lands from the tax
sale of 1906, upon his paying such
portion of the amount for which said
lands was sold at the annual sale *or
taxes on May 18TH 1906, as the same
would have been sold for if the taxes
against the same had not been exces-
sive which sum would not exceed
$5.12.

have been fixed by the county board,
then for such cases the justice can
only be legally allowed the fee CT
$50 in each such case.
These reports cover cases tried be-
tween the goth day of June and the
Goth day of October of 1907, both
dates inclusive In all of these cases
Constable James White appears as
the officer and in each reporC among
the items of the officers fees appears
the item of $1.00 as having been paid
out by the officer for board of the
prisoner. The officer is entitled to
his actual and necessary disburse-
ments and as TO such charges the board
will allow the fee accordingly. AS to
che other items making up the Of
f1cer's fees they are all totaled up at
$1.82. This manifestly is incorrect
as several of them only foot UP 10
$1.45 and one to only $1.25 exclusive
of the item disbursed for board. If
these cases are such as to which tle
board has fixed the officers fee at
$3.50, then Constable White is entitl-
ed, in addition to his disbursements, to
the sum of $3.50 for such cases as
come within the resolution.
There is another matter which
must be considered in passing on
these claims for fees by Constable
White. And that is che date at which
he became under sheriff of the coun-
ty After he became under-sheriff of
the county he can collect from the
county only his disbursements.
In acting on all of these claims the
board will accordingly allow or dis
allow as the facts appear to them, rs,
were there no resolution of the board
fixing the fees nor had Constable
White been appointed under-s1eriff,
the fees would be proper and legal
charges against Villas County and
would have to be allowed.
In closing I would suggest that
Sheriff Murphy, Constable White and
Justice Geo. E. Fuller be requested
to appear before the board and give
the board such assistance as they may
wish in order that the matters which
seem to be uncertain might be made
plain.
