May we suggest that we ate willing to take over the certificates on these tracts for the sale of June, 1924, and also for the sale of June, 1925, provided that we may�have these at faze. This would be simply equity for the reason that it was through no fault of ours that ae did not make the original purchases. You have a list of the tracts involved. If you -will advise us that. we may have the certificates for both years as above, remittance will go forward promptly on our receiving notice of the amount due. Thanking you for a prompt reply, we are, Yours truly, F. B.

Said committee met on the 20th day of October, 1925, at the sanatorium offices. i I The committee rinds everything in good shape. with the exception of the wa.ter supply, white: is insufficient to supply the needs of operating the san- atorium. Therefore the committee. suggests. that a well be drilled with gas engine attachment" to pump water in addition to present __pump, :,hich is now being oper- ated by electricity and oftera times has left the sanatorium without sufficient water. Dr. Fawcett has coirairanicated with several concerns regarding same and he j has also _ e.sti sates of installing t:e ne.a syNtem. The amount of installing is being estimated at. . 6,000. which the committee- would recommend. Furthermore some iiri- provements sl ould be., rw de on beautifying the grounds, which could be done at a I small expense.

The committe also recommends. that the sanatorium books be aud-ited in connection with the annual county audit. PUREA'AIR SAXATORIUM Cost of Operation and repairing to kitchen range during the past fiscal year. i Repairs for range,- including tops, lids, grates, linings 130.20 Coal consumed (this is approximately correct) 21 tons 157.00 ( 21 tons. C .r7.50.) For hauling coal from power house to kitchen coal bin 21.00 (coal bin filled about every 2 months C 4�3.50) Total y 308.70 I It is necessary to keep the fire burning all the time while using � coal s.c: that the stove will j4et be hot enough to do the cooking and this heat so constantly applied burns out the grates, side walls, back walls, the tops I and lids and rings that hold the Lids. I j If gas were used "or cooking it would not be necessary to burn it. excepting ti;hen cooking was being done and then only under the lids -being; used. � This would be a great saving in fuel as well as of the range. I Now we do not have any means of sterilizing; the dishes or the clothes that are sent to the laundry. if vote had the gas machine installed we � could have a burner placed under the dish washer and the dishes would be all sterilized while they were being washed and this would prevent the infection i of the nurses and other help. A heater could also be placed,:.in or under the washer in the laundry and the sheets, towels, pillow slips- and other clothing 14 5- ANNUAL IM r ;T ING OF 1'BE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOAR13 November 1P, 19215. could be boiled. and thus. sterilized as they s-hould be. At this time they are not terilized and are not even boiled as every house wife knows they should be�i they a.re to. be.made clean and.kept free from stains and other dirt. A gas. machine can be installed, large enough so that later;. if wanted, gas 'could be used in the laboratory, in the serving rooms and even for light if necessary; -the connection for the dish washer, a heater to boil the clothes in the Laundry, asgas range with all necessary attachments for cooking for about. $1750. ',,Then we. compare the cost of operating the range wi.th coal with the cost of the proposed gas -plant and consider that we are at present not using clean sterile dishes. to eat off and not boill.ng the clothes. before they come from our laundry, it would appear that it would be a great saving of money to install this gas ma_.ing machine. This machine is placed under class A by the Fire underwriters s.o that it would to,.ver the insurance rates. During the summer the kitchen is most unbearably hot because of the heat from the range whereas if gas were used there would be a minimum of heatand there would be less liklihood of food -being spoiled and less ice consumed as under the present system of using coal., This matter has been brought up `since the sanatorium committee visited the sanatorium and since the budget was sent in and was not the.refare included but deserves your careful consideration and I would- ask that you recommend the appropriation of this money which --could be, used i:f afte.rx-careful examination this machine is proven satisfactory. Mr.- J. Yurphy, the trustee from Iron County, has proposed this or some similar method of sterilizing the dishes.and clothes. Motion was made and seconded that the report be accepted and placed on file with the understanding that the acceptance of the report was.not to include any appropriations. I -lotion carried. The following corn:nunication was then read: November 6, 1925. To the county board of Bayfield County, Gentlemen: I suppose you are aware of a pension :for blind and deaf -persons, which you will find under section 47.08. This bill provides, among other things, for a pension not to exceed $480 for a blind person and 360 if deaf. Now, Sam Gillis of the town of Orienta has received a pension from the -county for blindness.- he is totally blind and should get $480 as proviaed by this bill, but he tells me that he has only been receivitg 11p450 a year. This bill was approved July 5, 1923, so that really the county will ovre this blind man 660 on January 1. That is far blindness only. I am enclosing you herewith certificate of Dr. Spears of your town who, I understand, is the examiner, tihowing that he examined Sam Gillis for deaf- ness and tnat he round him to ''rye totally deaf in one ear and 85 or 90% deaf in the other, so that he must be about 95%'deaf .in the whole. That should en title him to a pension for deafness,. in case you find that he is entitled to this, I think the iDension ought to run back to the time he was examined. I think.you will find the date in the clerk's office. if you don't. think he is entitled to that, he surely is entitled to the amount of-5 360 from -note on, and the 5t 60 due him on January 1, for blindness. ` The reason I am taking this up with you is that I have taken it up with the - clerk at different times and have not been able to get hire to issue the full amount to Mr. Gillis. I .wish you gentlemen would take this matter up and either allow or disallow it just as you see fit. Don't put it off until some other time. Yours truly, Ernest Sauve . T. R. Spears-, IT.— D, Washburn, 77is . _ uct : 28, 1925. To whom this may concern: ; I This is to state that some time ago I made a personal examination of Sam Gillis for deatnes.s and found him to be totally deaf in one ear and about 85, to 90% deaf in the other ear. T. R. Spears Tiotion was rnade and seconded that the communication be placed on file and that no action be taken regarding this. matter.

This relocation .,.ill revert about eleven miles of the present State Trunk Highway Into. 10, in the vicinity of 1. .u�.h, to the respective tolrms: through which it passes, and we are presenti- g a resolution covering the abandonment of this piece. of Highway. i ',le recommend the abandonment, as a county or State Highway, of the relocated part of ;Mate Trunk highway Fo . 1214 from about: the N'74 of SW- of section i 4, township 43 North, of Range 8 '-."Test, thence Sout'hea.sterly along the old trav- eled;, -No. 24 to Sawyer County Line, a distance of 2 1 miles more or less. 'i'itis piece of H.igh,,iiay having been relocated so that the present State Trunk highway No. 24 runs East of the Isameka.gon River. ANNUAL 11EEP T II G OF 1"HE BAYFIELD COU1LTY B0_ARD life recorimiend that no relocation of' State Highways 'be made, with County funds, unless it has had two readings before the county boa-rd. Hat ?mowing as yet just what the ;Mate Gang la-) intenance allotment far 1926 will amount to; and .in talking with the :assistant Division Engineer in charge of VIiaintenasice, we have requested that the ,Mate improve the highways.'at Pikes Quarry on State. Truni: Hi.ghaay No. 13 and at Corn- ucopia. on. State Trunk High4,=ay No. 13 with a park; of this money. We rec.om:nend an appropriation of $7,500 for the administration of the Highway Department; this appropriation is separate and distinct from the High%ziay Fund and is taken from the General fund of the County. The above. $3,000 for County Trunk Highway tD1' is for repairing bad curves and w-et spots;, on- -this Highway. County Trunk "Ai' the above: amount of $5,000is for graveling be- tween Port -Wing and Iron .River; 4p"10,000 being.sp.ent for gradin last year, which leaven the road in 'very bad condition in wet weather, on account': of the clay land. The $2,500. being for ditching and widening the road at Pigeon Lake,. out from Drummond, as this road is very- narrow. In the Town of Oulu, �5,000- being for ditching and repairs-; The Town of Oulu is attempting to raise w`,500 to assist in this work, and we recommend that the town of Oulu pay this into the County Treasury when - raised. The "1,500 for Flag River Flats is. for building a new bridge, which is in very bad shape, and to fill in one bridge that can be done away iv-ith. The $3-,000 for Bark Bay is to finish this relocation of the State Trunk Hight:ray No. 13, and put it in such shape that the State Department will take over the Maintenance of this piece of" Highway 'and disc)ntinue the present traveled portion of this part of State Trunk Highway No. 13. The $3,000 for County Trunk Highway "C" is for grading and grave�- ing from the SW corner of Section '26, Townsh'ip 49 Horth, o ' Range 5 ,hest, Forthl.est on what is known as the Four 1.1ile Creek Road. Our, recommendations total �51,533.87 for the year 19w6, of which $7,500 comes frord the General. Fund of the County, leaving $44,033.87 to be raiied under the two mill provisions. of the Highway lava. We understand that the total Real Estate and Personal rroperty assessment of Bayfield County - for 1926 will be $22,016.937 of kiich two mills on the dollar will raise 44.,033.87, or the amount we have recommenced: ` You will note the total amount recormnended. is $6,699.09 less than last year due to the reduced valuation of the County. ',fe recommend that ,lie- County does not place any more hiorlays on the County Trunk system because, as town hig'riways, we will receive $25 per mile for them from the State, while, if they are placed on the County System of H.ightilzays, the County will not receive any increase in the amount of Aid for County iaintenance. We also recommend. that the county purchases a few miles of snow fence and place it in bad places. This being done by other counties and is working out well. The cost of this.as near as we can deteRmine is $2.14 per rod, or $686 per mile erected. 'We estimate that it will require about four miles of this fence for the County at this. time. At the present there is no State funds for this type of work, but 'it is expected that as soon as the Counties show any general intere-st in Snow Removal the State will take over Snow Ramova.1 on the Highways. '-t is expected that the State '-Urunk.Highways are to be maintained and constructed entirely by the ;Mate Department under the terms of the new Highway Law', and therefore the County is not obliged to raise any funds for that purpose unless, they do s.o of their- own free will. The Highway Committee in going over'the work done this past season, feel that it has been. done at a cost. that has saved the County taxpayers large amount. of money and w-e feel that this: i-s due to the effeciency of our Highway Department .

ANNUAL L'EETING OF THE- BAYFZELD GOUNTY BOARD -- -- - ---- — -- --- - ---- - Nov_ernber__-=__---- The. following report was then read: November 10, 1925. TO T1:M HONORABLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPE VISORS OF BkYF=%LD COTT,,,'Ty, 'VVISCO?'7SIN. Gentlemen: 1. We, the undersigned members of the Finance. and Budget committee, respectfully submit for your consideration, the follo;rring rec.omruendations and Budget Report. 2. IIle have spent comsicie.rable time and effort.in a thorough study and deliberation of the financial needs of Ba.yfield County for -the ensuing year, and have taken under advisement, detailed reports of the various depart- ments of county government as presented to us, reviewing in every respect, from all -)ossible angles, item for item, as contained therein; we have endeavored to do our w,crk this year more painstaking and thorough than perhaps has been assentiat, but have been ever mindful of the urgent need and emphatic demand as made by the taxpaying public, for an adequate reduction in taxes and a sttict economy program in the matter of county expenditures. 3. In presenting our recommendations and budget. report, we desire to lay stress upon, and emphasize the al:)solute.necessity of -the County Board abiding by the deliberations and decisions of the finance and budget committee, IF it is the desire of the Board to inaugurate a Real program of economy in j the various departments of County Government. 4. We part.iculaxly call your attention to passage of an original resolution placing the finances. of -,ne county under the budget system, ;°which I resolution stipulates that no moneys shall be appropriated by the comity board of Supervisors which have not _;reviously been properly presented to the Finance and Budget Committee for its consi„eration and inclusion in the Annual Budget Deport., and which such resolutions. have not been presented through the proper committee or other -channels.. Resolutions so -.resented to the County Board, without. first having been acted upon by committees as above set forth, mast, - in accordance with the plan of procedure under the budget system, be autorriiati.c- ally ruled out of order. 5. 'd1e believe it best now, to explain the purposes and used of the ! item in the budget report, designed as contingent fund. This. fund,_ While on the face of it, appearing to be abnormally large, is, as a matter of fact, the consolidation of three departmental expenditures; naively, Contingency, *5,000, berrowed money, yp10,000, and losaes sustained through tax collections, i�6,000. 6. Board members are cautioned not to take a wrong viewpoint in reference to this fund; It is NOT establised to take care of any appropriations as. called for by subsequent resolution, presented before this board; it is a ` fund directly under the jurisdiction of this committee, and can not be adminis- t.er•ed.except in accordance with the stipulations as set forth in the above paragraph four. 7. '7e present in the budget report three items in reference to which we make no recommendations for appropriations.. These are -title items with refer- ence to the County Fair, Community Fairs, and that ::ith refe-r-ence to the County Agricultural Agent. 8. ,,le believe, it essential to the future welfare of Bayfield County that the members of this 'board of supervisors follow the Sldggestion,e of this committee, cooperate with it in establishing and inaugurating a program of economy, and otherwise endeavor to relieve a stringent situation as existing in county financial matters. 9. lith this ultimate purpose in view, we respectfully present herewith the following budget report: iirotion yeas made by,Tr. Axness and duly seconded that the first nine items in the recommendations of the foregoing report be adopted as read. Iiotion carried unanimously. I lotion alms made by L'Ir.

All patents issued by sai:dc'_Commissioners shall be recorded in their- office; and the record ofpatents heretofore issued by them is. hereby declared a legal record. Purchasers may, a.t any time before due, pay any part or the whole of such purchase money and the interest thereon. In all cases where patents have been or may here- after be issued to a person who nay have died or who shall die before. the date thereof, the title to the land described therein shall insure to and become vested in the heirs, devisers or assignees -of -,such person to the same extent as if the patent had issued to him during his lifetime."
