On motion of A. E. Beebee, A. r.
Hirst of the State Highway Commits
sion, was given permission to address
the board on Wednesday afternoon
at 2:30. 1t was also voted to visit
the Marathon County Asylum on
Wednesday at O'Clock.
The board, after adopting the fol-
lowing resolution adjourned to attend
the funeral of Mrs. Schroeder.
WHEREAS, Divine Providence, has
taken from this world, the loving
wifeof our esteemed fellow member,
Fred E. Schroeder, of the City Of
Wausau, and happy home has been
broken up and little children made
mother,eSs.
BEIF RESOLVED, that we, the
County, Board extend our heartfelt
sympathy in this hour OF sorrow, and
/ as a. mark of respect, that we now
adjoafn to Wednesday morning, at
10 o'clock.
On Wednesday the board met at 10
o'clock. A proposition was made to
the board by the newspapers of the
county to publish the proceedings for
$50 each. This was reduced to $4,000
as it was said that the board would
not stand for that ''large amount"
1t was finally decided to give the
press $500 each for this work but
action was postponed until the next
meeting, when the board will vote
probably to ask each publisher So for
the privilege of publishing the proceed
ings. The papers of Marathon coun-
ty do more for the county's progress
than all the fairs and side advertising
possible, and yet they get slammed
every time it is possible for some OF
our would-be legislators to plant an
effective blow. There are thousands
of dollars paid out each year foolishly,
and why can't the board pay out a
small amount to give all the people
of the county a chance to see what is
being done by it. ~
The following resolution was intro
duced and after a discussion was
voted down and instead ofthe amount
asked for, 81 800 was voted to be
raised, viz:
To the Honorable members of the
County Board of Marathon County,
Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
Whereas, ON account of the con-
stantly increasing number of deaths
of old soldiers each year and on ac-
count of their increasing age and
feeIIeneSs and their last sickness the
amount of money heretofore appropri-
ated is not sufficient to give the re-
lief necessary.
And whereas the commission is en-
titled by section 1898 Chapter 1l6,
Laws of Wisconsin session of 1911, a
tax of not less than one twentieth nor
more than one-fifth of one mill upon
the value of taxable property in the
/ County as determined by said board.
Therefore, the members of the
| Soldiers Relief Commission would
respectfully petition your honorable
| body to levy tax sufficient To create
| as fund S250)00 Annually for the
relief of needy soldiers, sailors or
marines, or the INDECENT wives,
widow and minor children of such
! deceased.
/ Dated this Both day of Oct, 1912.
