The following Petition was read: To the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors Gentlemen: No. 6 August 15th, 1966 8118 Ola Ave. Tampa, Fla. 33604 Re: Lot 9 Block 26 Original Townsite of Washburn The above property was formerly owned by my mother who was deceased many years ago. My father passed away when I was,a year old. I gave mother money to pay off two different mortgages. In checking the chain of title recently I was surprised to find that mother had made.out a mortgage to me for $$200.00 in 1920 and had it recorded. After mothers death a certificate of descent was granted by the Probate Judge of Bayfield County, dated April 8th, 1941 giving a one third interest to each of the following: Ingvald E. Sylte - a brother Julia S. Criswell - a sister Melius 0. Sylte - myself My brother and sister are both deceased. My sister and her husband lived in the residence for many years by permission of my brother and I. Her husband is also de- ceased. I have not paid the taxes for several years because of the title. Apparently the estates of my deceased brother and sister did not have their interest in this property as an asset. The value compared to delinquent taxes and mortgage is not enough to warr- ant probate proceedings. The taxes plus interest amount to approximately $$300.00 with another coming due. I hereby petition your Honorable Body for the, -right to purchase the tax certificat- es for the sales of 1963-1964 and 1965. In the event this petition is acted on after October this year I would also with to purchase the 1966 tax certificate. If my petition is granted, I expect to clear up the title by taking a tax deed. Yours very truly, Melius 0. Sylte September 30, -1966 Moved by Rondeau and seconded by Rude to refer the foregoing petition to the District Attorney's office for investigation and report back to the County Board meeting in November.
