The following petition/was presented:
Whereas, on account-,; of the amount of work and the 'pery long hours, together with
the increasing cost of living we the undersigned have decided to ask the board to
increase our pay as janitors at the Court House and Jail. During the winter
months we must be on the job between fine and six o'clock in the morning and are
compelled to look after fires until nine o'clock in the evening. The county during
the past year has paid in excess of eight hundred dollars for extra work around the
buildings and lawns and we feel that if the pay was increased we would be willing to
work even harder and can reduce this amount of extras very materially.
Vie therefore would respectfully ask this board to mz-ike the pay of the two janitors
$100 per mon�h each, beginning with December.
Respectfully,
Alfred Idarsh
John Clark
I hereby recommend the above increase in salary.
Ole Handberg
Chairman Committee Grounds and Buildings.
Moved and seconded that the recommendation of the chairman of the Committee on
Grounds and Buildings be accepted and that the salaries of the janitors at the
Court House and Jail be fixed at loo per month beginning with December.
The following report of the Highway Committee was presented:
TO THE COUNTY BOARD OF BAYFIELD COUNTY: - -
Gentlemen:
we, the undersigned County State Road & Bridge Oommittee, and highway
Commissioner, herewith submit the following report and statement of expenditures of
the past year, and suggestions for coming year, for highway purposes within the County.
We do not wish to come before you with a string of apologies or excuses for failure
to accomplish one hundred.per cent. resultd in all cases.
However, we feel it only fair to state that, in our opinion, we have had somewhat
unusual conditions to contend with, particularly the labor conditions of the yeast year.
As you will find from this report and statement, your committee and commissioner
have made every effort to carry out the program and instructions of the County Board,
and we have made a strong effort to confine the expenditures to the allotment, for
the different specified improvements throughout the county.
In some cases, we have been unable to get theimprovement specified, made.
Partivularly, the Bibon Swamp improvement, and the improvement by resolution_, in the
Town of Bell, near Nygaard's farm.
In the Bibon Swamp case, we did not receive any plans or specifications from State
342
Annual Session, December 2nd, 1919.
Department until August; then we made a contract with parties to begin work on the dit
in_g, as shown by the plans. This party moved down there and was ready to start
work, when he decided he should have a raise in price, and accordingly asked for an
increase of his contract price, of thirty three per cent. which was refused, and he
threw up the contract. - We then arranged with another.party to take the.contract,
and he was ready to begin work when the plans and specifications were recalled by the
State Department. This action, of course, stopped the work.
Since that time, we have been notified by State Department to proceed with,original
plar_d, and accordingly, we have once more made a bargain with a party to take the
ditching job, which will consume all money available for improvement of this piece of
road for the year 1918 and 1919, which amounts to $6300.00. This party has started
work, and will do as much as weather permits this fall, and complete the contract in
1920.
In the case of relocation, in Town of Bell, near 111ygarrd's Farm, we have not yet
received any plans or specifications. In converaation with Division Engineer,
S. P. Fall, we were told that he was not satisfied, that the relocation was advisable,
and that he wanted to get more information on the subject.
But you will notice that the money alloted by the County Board for these improvement;
is still available, and has not been used somewhere else. Also, the money alloted
for improvements in the town of Namekagon, and in the Town of Oulu.has not been used,
because no place specified.
Also, the money allotted for the Federal. Aid improvement, on State Trunk Highway
No. 10, which is the east and west line across the county, amounting to some 4.14,000.00
of county money, which made over $40,000.00 available for this road, has not been used,
and is still available.
The exact location of this particular piece of road was not definitely decided upon
by'the State Highway Commission until within the last fev; weeks. The road, as now
laid out by the 'Mate Department, will be somewhat different than as originally laid
out, and, on this account, will call for the passage of a resolution by the County
Board, designating a beginning point for the construction.
We are informed by the State Department that construction work on this piece of road
will be'pushed to completion without further delay.
Your committee met with Mr. Donaghey and MR. Hall, early in the summer, for the
purpose of arriving at a settlement of money due Bayfield County for State Trunk
maintenance in 1918, which you will remember was reported by last committee as held
back by State Department, mainly on account of a difference of opinion, as to amount
due county for rental of machinery. We arrived at an understanding in the matter,
and accordingly, the State turned over to the County Treasurer some $15,000.00 for
maintenance and machinery rental for the year 1918.
Your committee have acted under the resolution passed by the County Board, instruct-
ing us to secure sand or gravel pits throughout the county, for surfacing materials
for highways, and with the assistance of the District Attorney, we have closed, or
started negotiations, as follows:
One block in duPont Park Addition to the City of Washburn, adjacent to State Trunk
Highway No. 13, near City of Washburn, at a cost of $600.00.
One acre, in the Northeast Quarter NiE- ) of the Southwest Quarter. (S`ss'r) of Section
18, Township 456, Range 5, adjacent to Bibon swamp, at a cost of O�100.00.
343
Annual Seoslon, December 2nd, 1919.
A ten year lease, on four acres in the Northwest Quarter (NW-) of the Northwest
Quarter (ITi44) of Section 19, Township 4-6, Range 5, adjacent to State Trunk No. 24, near
Mason, at a cost of $200.00.
One acre, in the Southwest Quarter -(SW4) of the Southwest Quarter (SW1.-) of Section
26, Township 46, Range 6, adjacent to road north of Benoit, at a probable cost of V6100.
An agreement, at 20� a load, for the limited tame, off from Southeast Quarter (SE4)
of the Southeast Quarter (SE)of Section 33, Township 47, Range 5, adjacent to State
Trunk ITo. 24, east of Benoit.
One acre, in the Southeast Quarter (SE4) of the Southwest Quarter (SWNi) of Section
33, Township 47, Range 5, adjacent to Ashland Jet. road; deal not closed; owners ask
$300.00. use may have to condemn this property.
Northeast Quarter (NE4) of Northeast Quarter (NE4) of Section 33, Township 48, Range
8, adjacent to Iron River & Port Wing Road, at a probable cost of $400.00.
The resolution instructing us to purchase sand or gravel pits d-id not provide an
appropriation of money to be used for that purpose. However, we have made the
arrangements referred to, but most of them have,not yet been paid.
We have been informed by the District Attorney that he has collected from the
bonding company, in the case of Bayfield County against Eben Olson, some $3800.001
which we presume can be used for the purpose.
Also, you will remember, in our report last spring, we mentioned that we considered
it doubtful of the three -tractors owned by the County would provesatisfa.ctory for
highway work, and after a thorough try -out, this proved to be true. Therefore, we
decided to sell them, which we did at an auction sale, held at the County Tool House,
and one brought $400.00, one $350.00, and one$325.00, a total of $1075.00, or twenty
per cent. of the purchase price.
Your commmitteil received an inquiry from a form of contractors in Douglas County,
stating that they would like to rent the rock crusher outfit owned by Bayfield County,
or, if we did not care to rent it, they might but the outfit. As this property
was not mentioned in the inventory left on file by Mr. Kunzelman, we had never seen or
inspected the property. After receiving this inquiry, we made an inspection trip
to Roxby siding, where the outfit and gravel pit is located.
We found a large gravek pit „owned by Bayfield County, with convenient side track.
The material consists of stones of all sizes. There is a,set of camps, consisting
of four well-built frame buiidings,,20 x 30 feet each.
This rock crusher was a portable crusher and a portable bin and screen, sold by
Austin Westerm Machinery Company to .Bayfield County, in April, 1917, for $2129.70.
The last note given in payment will be due, with interest, at six per cent. in
April, 1920.
Although this camp was built, and machinery bought in the spring of 1917, the
machinery had never been set up or used. Some contractors for the town of Barksdale
shipped some
F
material
from this pit.
They used the
'
county camp, but
not the
county
machinery.
]Bayfield
County has never
shipped a car of
this material.
The
freight
rate appears to be prohibitive, and the crusher owned by the county appears entirely
too small for this class of material. A much larger crusher, owned by Peppard &
Fulton, and still there at the pit, did not crush over fifty per cent. of the material.
Furthermore, crushed rock for surfacing on clay roads does not appear very
344
_annual SeQaion, December 2nd, 1919,
satisfactory. It no doubt has its place in macadam roads and concrete work. We be-
lieve it will be some time before Bayfield County can go extensively into the building
of
stone roads.
We believe it
advisable
to cdnfine our efforts, in
the near future,_
to
widaning our
narrow roadbeds,
improving
grades, rebuilding bridges,
and surgacing our
clay roads with sand, and our sand roads with clay.
Therefore, your committee decided to offer to sell the r6ck crusher, and bin with
'screen, as purchased from the Austin Western GomPany:,7t0 th6se Douglas County contractors
at the invoice price; that is, the price Bayfield County paid, at one half.cash, balance
within six months, or, if theybwould pay all cash, and make it a clean deal to the county
we would accept a discount of five -per .cent. Thay have accepted,the first offer,
and have sent check for $1064.85; also a note payable in April, 1920, for $1064.85,
which has been turned over to the County Treasuter.
We are pleased to report that Bayfield County has received, at the hands of the
Legislative Committee and State Highway Commission, a substantial increase of mileage
upon the State Trunk Highway System, ,out of the new addition of 2,500 miles to the system
throughout the state. In the future, that part of the County road from Bayfield to
Port Wince will be on the State Trunk system; also that part of county road from Ashland
County line to Ashland Jundtion and Benoit; also from Ashland Junction 4orth and east, to
connect with State -Trunk No. 13 at Peterson's and Hosmer's corner, will be on State Trunk
system, and, we are informed, wi1-, be maintained as State Trunk Highways, beginning May
1st, 1920.
This will reduce our secondary, or County system, in'mileage to a point,.where we are
in hopes there will be sufficient funds available to substanUtlly improve and maintain
the county system.
We have repaired the big bridge over Sioux River, on the Four -Mile Creek road, at a
cost of 01297.67, which, we believe will make this bridge safe for ordinary travel for
four or five years. However, we feel it is important to start raising funds to
rebuild this bridge in,a permanent manner, when it again becomes unsafe for travel.
Idaith that end in view, we recommend that the offer of the Town of Washburn to pay twenty
five per cent. of the cost -of a new bridge „provided it was placed on section line, be
referred back to the Town .of WashburnQnm�o�'�x��`�
make the offer to pay twenty five per cent. of 008t, the location to be left to competent
engineers, as we consider this a strictly engineering problem.
Bayfield County has a large number of old bridges, which must be rebuilt as fast as
possible, and, acting under advice of S. P. Hall, we are recommending the rebuilding in
1920 of two bridges in the Town of Barksdale west of Hosmer's corner; two bridges between
Washburn and Bayfield; three bridges between Cornucopia and Herbster, repairing bridge
over Siskiwit River, and building culverts east of Cornucopia.
There are four, wooden bridges on the Iron River -Port Wing road that must be rebuilt,
r culverts to replace them.
On the Iron River and Barnes road the narrow fills have been widened and guard rails
wilt, which make this road in good condition.
The Barnes -Drummond road is now.in good condition, and needs but small expense for
ntenance.
The Long Bridge road at head of bay must have more rip rapping to protect the road bed
prevent washouts.

A large amount of brashing has been done; also a large amount of signs amde
markers placed and painted, covering the entire State Trunk System.
We have been notified by the State Department that they recommend a total
expenditure for the Federal and State and County for 1920 on State Trunk Route
No. 10, beginning at the Southeast corner of Section 13, Torn 47, Range 6,
thence westerly towards Iron River, t171,000.00. To meet our one-third
of this amount, Bayfield County is asked to raise $57,000.00.
As $10,000.00 was raised by the `'ounty last year, it leaves $43,000.00 to be
raised this year.
We believe this amount will have to be provided for in some manner over and
above the two mill levy „ which we believe must be levied to provide funds for
badly needed improvements throughout the county.
We have also been notified that there will be available as State Aid in 1920
Annual Session, December 2nd, 1919.
the sum of $4821.57, which we recommend be placed to rebuild bridges on State Trunk
between Washburn and Bayfield, and west of Hosmer's corner in the Town of Barksdale.
The amount available for State Trunk maintenance for 1920 has not yet been determi4ed.

Also, we believe that the entrance to the Uity of Washburn from the west, on State
Trunk "ighway No. 13 is very unsatisfactory, and badly in -need of improvement.
The bridge in particular over the creek west of the box factory we consider unsafe for
tke travel there is over it. Although this piece of road is within the city limits
of -Washburn, we believe it to be of -importance to the county that it be improved.
vVe are not informed as to the legality of the matter, but if the county can legall
help the city in this matter, we believe it good policy to do so; perhaps upon a fifty
fifty basis, or some other basis to be agreed upon.

Moved and seconded that the improvements authorized on the Washburn -Cornucopia

The following communication was presented:
Washburn., Wis.,
December 2nd, 1919.
To the Members of the County Board of Bayfield County, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
Believing that it, is of interest to Bayfield County to have a desirable route
leading into the City of Washburn on what is now known as the Federal and Trunk line
system -of Highways No. 13, and knowing that the conditions of the present route leading
into the city of Washburn are highly unsatisfactory on account of the.location of the
road, which crosses through the mill yard of the Kenfield-Lamo.reaux company which is
traversed.'by several railroad tracks, thereby tending to increase the dangers to the
traveling public, and wishing to aid in every way possible in obtaining a more
desirable route, the City of Washburn makes this offer to your honorable body.
If you will adopt that part of the Trunk system known as Route No. 13 beginning at
that point on the Ashland. -Washburn road known as the Wanebo corner between Sections
six and seven, 48-4, and running north about a quarter of a mile to Begelow street,
thence east along Bigelow street to Eight avenue west, thence north along Eight avenue
to the intersection of Bayfield street, the City of Washburn will purchase or acquire
the necessary right of way for this piece of road and turn same over to be known as
Route to. 13.
We believe this will be a very important change to the present route of travel as
a number of railway crossings are eliminated.
Yours verSr truly,
City of Washburn,
By Geo. F . Morgan, iZayor
The following resolution was presented: r
Whereas the City of Washburn has offered to acquire title io the right of way
entering the said City of Washburn on what is now known as the, State Trunk Line system
No. 13, whereby a very important change will be made in this highway inasmmch as it
will eliminate the mill yards of the Kenfield-Lamoreaux company through which the
present highway now runs, and will also eliminate a number of railway crossings which
are dangerous to the traveling public, therefore be it
Resolved, that the County Board of Bayfield County, Wisconsin, in adjourned annual
session assembled this and day of December, 1919, adopt as a part of the Federal and
State Trunk system No. 13, that portion of the road beginning at a point on the
Ashland -Washburn road between Sections six (6) and seven (7) where the present road
intersects with what is known as the Wanebo road, thence north and east about 1/8 mile,
to quarter line of Section -six (6), thence due north to Bigelow street, thence east
along said Bigelow street to Eighth avenue west, thence north on eighth avenue west to
where eighth avenue intersects with Bayfield street in the city of Washburn, providing
however that the said City of Washburn obtains the necessary right of way without cost
to Bayfield County.
Dated this 2nd day of December, 1919.

The following report was presented:
We, the undersigned, Road and Bridge dommittee, to whom you referred the attached
bill, report as follows: _
We recommedd that the balance of OV2,000 appropriated for this piece of work,
amounting to $li514.22, be paid to the Town of Drummond,. We believe that this
is all we can legally pay at this time, as that is all that,has been appropriated for
this purpose up to this time. This will leave a balance on this bill amounting to
$4,727.13, which was not authorized to be expended, although the work appears,very
expensive, �it is a very good and satisfactory piece of construction, and of course is
of benefit to the county road. On that account it would perhaps be no more than
fair to consider this extra amount of joint benefit to Town of Drummond and Bayfield
0ounty. tide Would suggest that one half of this $4,727.13 expended over and above
the allottment for which no bills were filed as the work progressed be considered of
special benefit to Town of Drummond, and the balance of benefit to Bayfield County.
If .that is done„Town of Drummond would stand 42,363.56 of this overrun, and Barfield
County would stand the balance or $2,363.56, to be paid out of any moneys not otherwise
appropriated.
