shows that it is the owner of the
S. T. Il of the S. W. Il of Section
number 81, town AZ, range 8 East, in
Villas County Wisconsin, and that
the same is unimproved cutover lands
and of no greater value, as your pc

the average of unimproved cutover
lands in that vicinity. That although
your petitioner does not recall the
exact valuation placed thereon for
the taxes of 1907, yet your petitioner
remembers that the tax thereon for
said year was about sS94O, while the
taxes for the same year on other
lands owned by your petitioner, name
ly in sections and 6, Town fl, range
9 East, was something less than $500
per forty
Wherefore your petitioner prays that
an order be made by your honorable
board, permitting your petitioner to
redeem said lands from the tax sale
of 1908, (if sold), upon its paying such
portion of the amount for which said
lands was sold at the annual tax sale
OF 1908, fif Sold, as the same would
have been sold for if the taxes against
the same had not been excessive.
