| given authority to employ an expert
to make an assessment of the lumber
companies stocks of lumber and logs.
His time was limited to sixty days.
7 NV
days to do the work, but the time
proved too short to go over the work
thoroughly.
The Marathon County Agricultural
| society petitioned the board for an
appropriation of $1,000. The matter
was referred to the committee on agri-
culture. After considering the petit
ton the committee recommended that
81, 200 be allowed. John f. Lamont,
secretary of the association spoke in
behalf of the society. A. E. Beebee
was in favor or holding the matter off
until the fall session, saying that the
tax payers would then be in better
position to stand such expense. When
a vote was taken the petition was
killed. The society wanted the money
to build a new agricultural hall.
The Marathon County Agricultural
society asked for an appropriation of
5000 to defray the expense of making
an exhibit at the state fair. The
board, however, had the ak raised for
every appropriation and this petition
like several more, went to the bone
heap.
1t was ordered that the county pay
| one-half the cost of constructing four

The towns of Holton and Hull will
jointly build bridge across the Eau

The towns of Marathon and Mosinee
asked for a refund of bridge tax
| which had been assessed against those
towns in former years, amounting
respectively to s25.6S and S33.54. AS
laws passed by the legislature in re-
cent years have complicated matters,
the petitions of those two towns were
laid over until an Investigation of
their legal merits has been made.
