WHEREAS, in November, 1979, the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors
charged back Illegal Taxes to the Town of Stanton in the amount of $4,625.64,
and
WHEREAS, said Illegal Taxes arose from a situation in 1975 where the U. S.
Government purchased real estate in the Town of Stanton for waterfowl production
and protection purposes, and
WHEREAS, $4,625.64 in real estate taxes were charged against the real estate
purchased by the U. S. Government, and
WHEREAS, the U. S. Government is exempt from taxation on real estate pur-
chased by them, and
WHEREAS, an Illegal Tax situation arose in this instance when no persons
were responsible for the payment of $4,625.64 in real estate taxes charged
against this particular real estate, and
WHEREAS, said mistake occurred because of procedural problems occurring
in both the Town of Stanton and St. Croix County, and
WHEREAS, the Finance Committee has studied this matter and recommends that
St. Croix County forgive these Illegal Taxes charged back to the Town of Stanton
in the amount of $4,625,64,
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the St. Croix County Board of Supervisors
meeting in regular session that the Illegal Taxes charged back to the Town of

County, and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that any monies necessary for said forgiveness be
taken by the St. Croix County Treasurer from the General Fund of St. Croix
County.
