The following claim was presented and was upon motion referred to the 'dommittee on Roads and Bridges: - "To The County of Bayfield and The County Board: - I. the undersigned claiment of Iron River, Wisconsin, have and hereby present a claim agEkinst said county for the sum of five hundred dollars($500), which claim arises on account of an injury to my car under the following circum- stances; ji On the 27th day of March, 1919, while I -was driving my car on the county !I road between the Village of Iron River and the postoffice at Barnes, all in said Co on what is known as the Barnes'Road,, at a certain point on said road on the qusrter l line running east and west through section e.leven(ll), in township forty=five,` !` North of Range Nine, West, and about seventy-five feet East of where the said road Gy 323 Special Session 11ay 15th, 1919. turns at right angle to the South, in the exercise" of due care, in the traveled track of said highway, the road at the said point bd'itg over a big, steep fill fifteen(15) feet deep, made of loose sand and narrow, said car being heavy, the ; loose sand gave way and allowed the car to slip off the said road and roll down the said embankment and fill, which said -County and its officers had suffered for a long time to remain without any guard or railing, and which insufficien6y and want of repair -greatly endangered the safety of travelers. And that by reason of such insufficiency and want of repair,and without negligence on my part, and by reason of running off said embankment and fill, said car was greatly damaged to the amount of five hundred dollars, which I claim from said county. Due written notice.of said damage, the place where it occured, and describing generally,the insufficiency and want,of repair of said highway which occasioned it, and that satisfaction therefore was claimed by me of said county, was on the 22nd day of April, 1919, served on Nele M. Oscar, County Clerk of the County of Bayfield, reference to which is hereby made. Dated May let, 1919. Adolph Carrinnen, Claimant. The following report of the Committee on,Road.s and Bridges was read and upon motion adopted: - The undersigned, the committee to whom was referred the attached claim of Adolph Carrignen for damages to his automobile, claimed to have rolled down an embankment on the Barnes and Iron River road, beg to refer the same back to the Board with a recommendation that same be disallowed. May 15th, 1919. George A. Curry, George Vester, Erick Johnson. The following communication from the District Attorney was read; To the Honorable County Board of Bayfield County. Gentlemen: - In the month of January, I tried in the Circuit Court of this County, two civil actions for the county, one against Eben Olson and his surety, and the other against S: Swanson Ogren and his surety. In the Olson case the jury rendered a verdict favorable to the county, and upon which I expect the the county will ultimately recover a judgment of above 04,000.00. a In the Ogren case the jury rendered a verdict which might commonly mean no cause of action. However, I am confident that -the county will recover a judgment of about $2600.00 against Mr. Ogren and his bondsmen. Judgments have not been rendered upon the verdicts,- however, as Judge Risjord has been ill, and other matters have been occupying the attention of both the Judge and lawyers. It is very probable, however, that if judgment is rendered in -favor of the county, the defendants will appeal to the Supreme Court. The law does not require the District Attorney to represent the County in.the j Special.Session May lath, 1919. Supreme Court without additional compensation. If judgment should be rendered against the county, the cases are of so much importance that I am of the opinion that they should be appealed by the County of the Supreme Court, and of course, the county will have to have counsel to do the work. I have prepared a resolution authorizing the Road Committee to take charge of these matters, and if my suggestions meet with your approval, no doubt you will adopt the attached resolution. Respectfully yours, CFM:MA C. F. Morris. The following Resolution was read and upon motion adopted; R E S O L V E D by the County Board of Bayfield County, assembled at a special meeting thereof, this 15th day of May, 1919, that the Road Committee of said county be, and they are hereby authorized and directed to employ counsel to represent Bayfield County in the cases of Bayfield County vs. Eben Olson and Maryland Casualty Company of Baltimore, Maryland, and S. Swanson Ogren and National Surety Company, in the Supreme Court, in case said cases shall be appealed by the defendants,'or either of them, and that if judgment be rendered against the county in said actions, or either of them, that said bounty State Road and Briige Committe.e be, and they are hereby authorized to determine whether or not the county shall appeal said cases to the Supreme Court, and to employ counsel in relation thereto, hereby giving said County State Road and Bridge Committee full power to act in the premises. George A. Curry.

Be it further resolved that the County Road.and Bridge Committee be authorized by this Board to have plans and specifications made for a new bridge and take such further steps as shall be deemed necessary and legal. A. P. , Stone.

Be it further resolved, that any funds provided or moneys appropriated for the repair of the highway as at present located through the Sioux River Flats be held and retained in the County Treasury until definite action shall be taken by the State Highway Commission and the United States Government with reference as to whether or not the proposed change shall be made. Donald C. Bell. The following resolution was presented and upon roll call all members present voted in the affirmative; RESOLVED, By the County Board of Bayfield County, assembled•at a special meeting thereof this 15th day of May, 1919, that there be and there is hereby app- ropriated out of any moneys in the County Treasury, not otherwise appropriated, the sum of five hundred dollars ($500.00) for the upkeep and repair of the County Buildings and Grounds.

Donald C. Bell Upon motion Board adjourned until 1:30 P.M. c Board met pursuant to adjournment at 1:30 P.IJ. with all members of the morning session present. The following report of the committee on Roads and Bridges was presented and was upon motion adopted and ordered filed; To the Bayfield County Board: We, the undersigned members of the County Road and Bridge Committee, and the t County Highway Commissioner, respectfully submit the following report: - In the first place we. have given the machinery question considerable attention. Early in the winter, it was agreed to have all the machinery looked. over and needed repairs made, and so far as possible this has been done. The two trucks were given a general overhauling and new parts put in where needed, and painted, at an expense of about $550. The Ford car`was found in very bad order and had to have extensive repairs, which were made at a cost of $229.86. Tractors were also overhauled before time to start work. Bayfield County appears unfortunate in so far as our trucks are machinery men call orphans,.that is, the factories are not making any more of them. We understand the factory which made the tractors owned by the county are also in the hands -of receivers. We dec&ded to give the tractors a thorough trial at maintenance work on the county highway system. With that end in view, we placed the tractors in it different parts of the county, as follows; one at Iron River, to operate North and South of Iron River, one at Herbster, to operate east and West of Herbster, one at Ashland Junction, to operate on that part of the county system, As the tractors are 327 Special Session May 15th, 1919. entirely too light to do any heavy grading, it seems that maintenance work, that is, pulling drags and light graders, should be the most suitable work we could put them at, but it appears doubtful if the tractors can do this work economically. At this writing, we have figures as to operating cost on only one tractor, that is the one at Iron River. The bill was sent soon after May let, for work done in Apri; and amounted for labor, gas and oil, and.repairs, to a total of $262.03. This appeared so high that Commissioner'Friberg telephoned at once to stop running the tractor. The Road and Bridge Committee agree with him as it is plain to us we could not stand that cost for the amount of work done, which we understand, was two or three trips over that part of the county road. The tractors are only one year old, yet the County Clerk informs ud that to the best of his recollection, some- thing like '1200 was paid for repair parts besides a new motor for one tractor to replace one burned out, amounting to $600 or more, making a total for repairs the first season on three tractors of over $1800, besides the garage work in placing the parts. As the tractors become older, it is only reasonable to expect the repair bills to be higher, therefore we doubt very much if the tractors will prove to be economical to operate in maintenance work. As to the trucks, we expect to use them hauling sand on part of the State Trunk System, perhaps four miles in length near the City of Washburn. This work has been ordered done by Division Engineer Hall. We hope they may prove economical for this work, but have no figures at this time. Bayfield County has a large investment in machinery, still we have no power suitable for a grading job, that is heavy grading. We wish the County Board would consider the machinery question from all its different view points. The State Highway Department suggests and appear much in favor of all counties providing suitable clerks for the highway commissioner, as the work has branched out and taken on so many different angles, each requiring some extra accounting, and lots of correspondence, and as Highway Commissioner is continually on the move, he cannot give much time to office work. Therefore a young man'has been hired to take care of that end of the work. Division Engineer Hall informs us that there is some State Aid for the past years due Bayfield County, some for the year 1915, 19160 1917 and 1918, amounting to a total of $5766.21. It seems that this mo3aey has been held back on account of Bayfield County either not having done the particular work specified or else not having done the work in a satisfactory manner. Mr Hall states Bayfield County may still get this money by proper action of the County Board, in relocating expenditure of the money and d6ing the work as specified. Upon our trip of inspection recently we found the State'and County Roads in a better condition for travel than we expected, considering the condition that they were in during the unusual weather conditions this spring. The road from Iron River south and east as far as Drummond is,espeeially fine, and with the contemplated improvements for which funds were provided at the last annual meeting of the County Board, it will make that road excellent for the travel there is on it. The State Trunk Line from Sawyer County line to Ashland County is not up to the same standard. The Bibon swamp section surely needs the improvement provided for as soon as the State Engineer finds time to outline the work. The beaver question was gone over last winter while we were at Madison attending the Road School, and we have reasons to believe that the Conservation Commission intend to carry out their promises to eradicate the animals. From Ashland to Bayfield the Trunk line road is of a better class, except near 328 Special Session May 15th, 1919 Onion River. The bridges and culverts are of a permanent type. Improvement on this road will begin as soon as the engineers specifications arrive. On the County Road system from Iron River to Port Wing, Herbster, Cornucopia and to Bayfield, we found fair grades and good culverts for some miles north of Iron River, and also for perhaph eight miles North and West of'Bayfield, and except for some bridges over the larger streams, this road needs large expenditures to become equal to the roads in the south and eastern parts of the county. The roads in the Sand River district in.particular look very expensive to build, unless some relocation is made to avoid some of the worst hills. The State Trunk line West of Iron River needs some new grading on part of its right- of-way, and East of Iron River by IuMoquah, the trunk line is yet to be built, and the first step towards building it is to'have the survey made, which has been promised by the division engineer. The most seroius proposition for the County'Board to consider in the near future is the Four Mile Creek Road, with its long bridge, 55 paces long, three bents high, equalling at least forty feet in height, over the Sioux River. The rebuilding of this bridge takes a large expenditure. And as mentioned, there appears to be some state aid money available for past years provided the County Board adopt a resolution designating a new location for the im- provement. Therefore your committee recommends that the County Board adopt such resolution and make such appropriation at its next annual meeting, and designate the Sioux River Bridge on the Four Mile Creek Road as the place where the money should be spent. Providing that the towns most interested raise, b.y bond issues, tag levy,or individual donations, at least 25% of the estimated cost of the new bridge. Other parts of the Four Mile Creek road needs relocating, and rebuilding, particular- ly on the North end in the town of Bell. We believe it would be helpful to get the locations for next years improvements specified as early as possible, for the reason that it would give more time to have surveys, blue prints, and specifications made. At present we are waiting for some of the plans and specifications for improvements designated at the last annual meeting. We also find in going over the system that in some instances there are errors in describing the locations of some of the improvements to be made this year. In fact, one description as given in the resolution would place the improvement inside the city limits of Washburn, another would place the improvement some three miles away from the county road, in the town of Tripp. Of course, these are plain errors, and we presume the road and bridge committee should be instructed by the County Board to correct them. In looking up the different county tools and property' we found a number of errors in the inventory left on file by Mr. Kunzelman, both as to the amount of property and the location of it. We found that quite an.amount of Norway Pine two by six by sixteen feet bought for railing along certain fills on Iron River and Barnes 'Road, but which has not yet been built has been laid'for a large dance floor at Barnes, and it makes a very nice floor. Mr Barnes says we can get them -any time we want to build the railing, and the people of that neighborhood, he syas, had a whooping good time last fourth of July on that floor. While in Bayfield the other day and in conversation with Don Bell of the City of Bsyfield, he states that there was to be a movement started to relocate a section of, - the State Trunk Highway between Washburn and Bayfield. We are not informed as to the Q advantages of the proposed location, and we think perhaps Mr. Bell can explain the reasons why this change should be made. Also while in the Town of Bell, and talking 329 Special Session May 15th, 1919. with Mr, Nigard, chairman of the twon of Bell., he mentioned that the town was opening a town road from Cornucoibia to Bayfield, which would have easy grades and only 16 miles between those two towns, and he thought the travel would soon be largely over this new road. We would like to have Mr. Nigard explain more definitely and to the whole Hoard in regard tothisnew road. We find it somewhat difficult to give you a description of the road system of Bayfield County in such manner as to enable you to understand the various problems and different locations referred to. And we think as a matter of education, it would be.a good plan for the whole County Board to make a trip over the entire road system of the county. We believe it would help the different members to locate the various improvements in their. minds and the.importance of the different.roads to the entire county. If this should be done, we believe it should be done as soon as convenient, then, if the Board wishes to make some changes, there would be time to do so.this season.
