the SWil of the SEg of Section 35-48-817 and offer the same to the .highest bidder,

Another reason is the fact that the SW:1j; of. the SE-1 skirts a small lake and for a
distance of about 40 ft. the west line of the said description hits into this big
spring or small lake, so that the parties who purchased the SE- of the -SVQ would have

on the lake.

of Section Eight (8), Township Fifty (60) North, Range Seven (7) West, being more

separately assessed on the tax roll and that the taxes are delinquent, the tax sale
certificates for the sales of 19470 1948 and 1949 being now owned and held by Bayfield

requests that he be permitted to purchase the tax sale certificates on said -parcel -for
the years 1947, 1943, and 1949 in order to thereby correct and perfect his title.

April 17, 1950
Dear Sirs:
On the 8th day of January I was coming east on the county road which goes to
Moquah about 5:10 in the evening. I saw what I thought was spread gravel on the road.
It was a full line of sand piled about 3 or 4 ft. high ready to be spread. There were
not any flags or flares or anything else on the road to let a person know there was
anything on the road. I ran into it and could not avoid doing it because the road
was glare ice. My two sons were with me in the front seat and both got bruised up.
did
I redly got scared and*not feel good. I must of hurt my back because ever since then
I get back aches.
I reported this to -Curry the follavying day. He got flags and all up then and
just laughed at me. I went to Norlin to find out what protection a driver has on a
road. According to law all objects left on a road should have a warning to let a
driver know what he is coming to, providing the road is open for traffic and it was.
I can get witnesses that this is all correct. I would like at present to get my
repair bill paid by the county. If not, I will carry this to a finish which will cost
more for us'..both.
