The following communication from
the County Treasurer was duly read
as follows:
Washburn, Wis.,. May 9, 1922.
Members of County Board, Bayfield,
County, Wis.
Gentlemen:
Inasmuch as the work in the Office
O fthe County Treasurer has increas-
ed, owing to the unprecedented large
number of delinquent taxes for the
past two years, to point where it
amounts to at least twice what 1t
has been prior to the year 1929, the
present Treasurer feels that in order
t accomplish the work of the office
in a business-like manner it is abb
solutely necessary that he be fur
nished with clerk or assistant from
now until September 18th.
The advertised tax sale list for the.
present year numbers about 5000
descriptions and the wor kof enter
ing these descriptions in the sales
book and sales abstract and also is
suing tax certificates is job of
large proportions, and it is well nigh
impossible for the Treasurer to ac-1
complish it without more help than he
will be able to secure on the $4,000,
for clerk hire which your honorable
body has allowed him for the pre-
sent year. The above work must
be done in addition to, handling the
usual routine, which alone is more
than enough to keep one man hust-
ling.
Therefore, in order that the work
of the Treasurer's office may be car
ried On as you would wish it to be,
the Board is respectfully requested
to. take the necessary action to en-
able such assistance to be employed.
Respectfully,
r. w. SMITH,
County Treasurer,
After referring. same to the Fin
ance Committee, said Committee re-
ported back recommending that said
r. w. Smith be allowed an additional
100000 for Clerk hire. Moved and
seconded that the recommendation be
accented. Motion carried.
The following resolution was read
and on motion duly seconded and
adopted: !,
