Resolution offered by Supervisor

.visors of Villas County, Wisconsin,
that, whereas, the State of Wiscon-
sin, has purchased more than 400, 900
acres of land in this county, and
withdrawn the same from market
and from taxation, thereby increas-
ing the taxes of all tax payers of the
county, also causing great hardship
to the settlers living near or sur
rounded by these tracts so purchased
by the State, for the reason that they
are left isolated and not in q position
to secure roads, schools, neighbors or
churches
Now, therefore, this board unani-
mously requests that the State re-
turn to market all lands so pur-
chased by the State, same to be sold
to actual settlers at price not to ex-
teed $500 per acre in groups not to
exceed $50 acres to each individual.
Dated this 4th day of October 1912.
