ii The following petitions was presented and was upon motion referred to the
Road and Bridge Committee:
it To the County Board of Bayfield County, Wis.
. II
We the undersigned residents of Bayfield County, Wis. hereby petition you to
adopt as a portion of the county system of highways, the road commonly known as the
Namekagon road leading from Grandview, or from that part of the Federal trunk line
I
now leading through Grandview and to Namekagon lake. This road is now in very good
i
condition and will need very lettle repair. Being of gravel its upkeep will be
inespensive. We believe that this road is traveled more by residents of Bayfield
'l County than the road leading from Cable to Namekagon, and that it is of greater
benefit to Bayfield County.
Signed L. P. Anderson, Severt Jacobson, Martin Hanson and 20 other residents.
The following resolution was presented and was upon motion adopted:
Whereas it has come to the notice of the Board that many of the laborers on
County highways are aliens, therefore be it resolved, that the County Highway
Commissioner be directed to instruct all foremen on county road work, and all other
persons who have charge of highway work or any other work in which the county has
an interest whatever, that no personsbe employed on such work who are not American
citizens or who have made an effort toward acquiring citizenship.
