Your committee. wishes to call your attention to the fact that the budget this year is. about: 376 less than last year, and that the county's equalized valuation is about 2*% less than last year, which will in our estimation, make the county tax rate about the same as last year. the cause of this reduction in the budget was due largely to lowering of the following items: Sanatorium and contingency fund, also the increase in estimated revenues. We call your attention to a few new itema in the budget, viz, County Nurse., County Fair, Community kai:rs.and a Red Cross. Cyclone Relief Fund, which latter will be. for this year only, being an emergency appropriation. 0. M. Axness. Ia. C . Helmer R. A.

Gentlemen: 1 am getting the sum of 4537.50 a month as blind and i have tried the best I could to live on that but can't do it. Besides my board and room it costs me for shaves, a little tobacco, clothes and shoes and things like that. Some people give me old clothes, which 1 wear when 1 can, but unfortunately all peoples' clothes do not fit me as I al;l i larger than the average man. ns i wear i�o. 50 underclothes you can readily see that old clothes from ordinary people would not fit me. This summer 1 had the misfortune of burning up what clothes 1 had. the only way i have been able to live with my income is to batch, and being blind it is not very handy, but 1. can manage all right if i had a few dollars more. i think if the county board would allow me all told r45.00 a month instead of �37.50 i would have enough and could get,along all right. r hoping you corumittee will see things as i do and that they will allow me 045 per morith, I am Very truly yours, Sam Gilles. 10-7 AMNUAL iViCETING OF THIE BAYS'IELD COUNTY' BOARD N OV 01,63BR 91 1926. notion was made by Goff and seconded by Meyer that the foregoing cornmunication be laid on the table.

As a committee tine have adopted the following resolution and ask that you authorize its publication in the official paper of the county. The resolution is as follows: V`INIEREAS,This commission, during the year, receives various bills and state- ments -for supplies and services furnished the soldiers and their widows, and WHER.E.r,S, Vie have no tray of checking up on the merits of these various bills for supplies and services, Therefor, Be it resolved that hereafter this conl2iission will not act on any bills that have not been previously authorized by the commission and thereafter have the endorsement of the chairman of the town in which the applicant for rel i.ef resides. We feel that if this resolutionirrere given publicity it might act as a deterrent in asking for promiscuous: aid. it presumes that when indigent soldiers ask for relief they are destitute and this commission does riot contemplate any relief unless destitut- ion is fairly seemed proven. e We wish to call your attention to the fact that the statute provides for only 1. four meetings of this commission per year. it malres no provision for the investigation I of the merits of any individual for application for aid. I�vt the fact is that the members of your commission, of necessity, spend mo ney more often than the . law contemplates, and the secretary of the commission is continually bombarded with letters a_:d personal. applications for relief, and the cormnission feeithat the secretary, by reason of this extra labor, is entitled to more pay than permitted by statute. The commission has therefor fixed the salary of the secretary at %1,50 per year, which is in lieu of per diem and mileage, together with such necessary expenses as postage, etc. h. 14.

Traffice Census taken this season shows that State Trunk highway #10 in j i Bayfield County carries only 467o of the amount of traffic carried by S1ate `Drunk Highway J,9`13 in Bayfield County (between Ashland and Bayfield) and no more travel than I state Trunk highway ff24 carries in Bayfield County. i JU D ,=f- REAS : The Wisconsin highway Uortmussion now proposes to ex0end all of the ;,'ederal I Aid and State i:id allotment of funds due this county for construction pruposes for i the next two years (e.stimated to be about 5;130,000.00 under subsection 9 of section 84.03) in the further improvement of State 'Trunk highway rf10, and whereas State Trunk highway 7'f10 comprises about 23io of the total state Trunk highway mileage in this County and at the completion of the proposed program will h�_Lve received about 757o of all Zederal and State Aid funds expended in this county since the year of 1920.

The following resolution was then read® i RESOLUTION 10, OPTED BY COUNTY BOARD i WI-IBREAS:a. The tremendous increase in motor vehicles is throwing a. heavy burden on the counties of the state and because of this it is necessary to conserve i i every cent of the money received from the motor vehicle licenses and gasoline tax for highway purposes. i 'WE_EASs The increase in motor vehicle traffic is so great -that the funds received from motor vehicle revenues are not sufficient to Deep pace with the demands and counties are compelled to levy general pro>erty taxes or resort to bond issues to raise funds for construction purposes and give the public highway surfaces which the traffice demands. �MEREASa A movement, is on foot and an attempt will be made in the next � legislature to change the present highway lava and provide for an increase in the gasoline tax to 3X a gallon, and for the return of ALL receipts of the gasoline tax i to the cities, villages and towns, based'on their autbm.obile registration. This vould I result in diverting a large part of the gasoline,tax for use in improving the city 1 streets anid deprive the rural roads of these funds, Therefor be it RESOLVED: That the County Board of Supervisors of Bayfield County place the_rnselves on record as being unalterably opposed to any reduction in the total funds paid by Motor vehicles for highway work, or to any plaH which would result in diverting; any of these funds from use on rural highways. And be it further RESOLVED: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the representative of this district in the state senate and the state assembly, and that a copy be sent to the chairman of every county committee in the state, and every county clerk, with a view to getting other counties to take similar action.

The following petition was then read: h1r..Ludwig 1'ranmal, County Clerk. Dear Sir: Mason, .Wisconsin, October 18, 1926. Till you kindly bring the matter which I will try to explain in the following lines of this letter "Regarding a road to my place," to the attention of the County B-oard, at their next session, and greatly oblige? I live on the !VE-T of the VE4 of Sec. 1, 'T. 45, R- 7 in the i own of Drummond. 1 have lived here seven years to date. I have a neighbor, tux. Jacob Johnson, who lives just across the range- line from me in the Town of Pratt, who would also be benefited by the same road. There is two different routes that could be considered in getting a road to my place. One would be to commence at the Southeast corner of my land, thence. South 1-,r_- miles on range line between the towns of Yratt and Drummond connecting with the Um. Sphreckengart. road-. the other one would be to commence at the Northeast corner of my land, thence Eorth 1 mile on range line between the Towns..of Hason and Delta c.onnecting with the Sutherland road. This latter route, would be the most advantagebus in many ways. ls�,it would make a better road at less expense. 2nd,it would give me only 12 miles to railroad shipping point, as against 34 miles the other way. 3rd-9 it lets, -me out to the nearest settlerient_ from where- I can hire hay baleing, grain cutting and threshing., . s t' TT�r UtLLI+IEE'T I NG OF THE BAYF IELD COUNTY BOARD NOVE2,11BER 99_ -1926. — = The only possible objection 1 can see to this last mentioned -route is, that it would require the 'Towns of Drummmond and rratt to build road on the'.line between the 'l'oz,dns of Tvlason and Delta. 1 have been pondering over this situation for a long time, so towards thecend of th6 last session of the Legislature it popped in my mind to write to Assemblyman, Pion. Alfred Warden, partly for the pus~pose of gaining some information and also to suggest a remedy if such should be necessary. 1 had a letter written to the effect that if there was not already a law providing for such a situation, it should be altered, amended or a new law made providing that the 'sown or `ovens could be, reimbursed by the down or 'Towns through which they would have heal occasion to build a road to let out one or more of their settlers, at such time as it would have become necessary for the other town or towns to have built such road for the benefit of their own settlers. 1 got a reply turned over to me by the party who wrote in ray behalf, to the effect that the letter arrived too late in the session for this kind of Legis- lature, etc. So therefore, when I an�my neighbor, Fir. Jacob Johnson, jointly petitioned the towns or Drummond and 2ratt, we suggested the route Souih;.-between Towns of Drummond and -Pratt to connect with the Vim. Schreckengart road. As much as 1 dislike to go to the end of taking this matter up with the County Board, T feel justified or really compelled to do so in order to ever be able communicating, etc., with the 'Town Board of to get a road built to my place; after 4 the 'Town of Drummond without results or even response; as follows: Sept. 13, 1920, letter to Chairman of Town of Drummond Oct. 31, 1920, letter to 'Town Clerk of 'Town of Drumraorid. March 23, 1925, 1 and Johnson jointly petitioned `Towns of -Pratt and Drummmond. Jan. 21 1926, 1 wrote to Town Board of Supervisors (Town of Druhrlmorid) June 16, 1926, 1 walked across country to the village or Hamlet. of Drummond and conversed with the chairman about the matter. Sept. 69 9 1 2b, 1 wrote to board of Supervisors ('To-vin of Drurrzfiond) asking them to let me know what action had been taken, but as yet 1 ii�ve received no reply. Hoping that you and the county board can give �:�e some enlightraerit on this subject. i ain Yours truly, Andrew Erickson. 1j® 1f this matter regviLes the attention of the county judge or any other official, would you ki.,-ridly bring it to the attention of szzch official also. Yours obligingly, Andrew Erickson. R#2, Box 60, Mason, Wis. Motion was made by Juel and seconded by Vester that the foregoing petition be laid.on the table.

Dear Sir: 'Will you please read this letter at the next meeting of the County Board. Over one year ago the county built a road through my farm. xhey did riot build it on the line. Just cut a circle through that looks like a race track using 2a acres of land as measured by our assessor. Everyone in the town of Clover were. paid for the right of way before the road went through excepting myself. The most of this land cost me �$100.00 pe-r acre and 1 have paid taxes on it for nine years. 1 am asking the cout-ity �350.00 for this land, milli.ch 1 consider a very small price for the way my farm has been cut up and 1 wouldn't have had it done for 01,000. 17ren Mr. 3'-riberG� s men took the tractor away over a year ago they filled the culvert with fence posts and logs to make it atronc,enough for the tractor to pass over. yhe posts and logs are still there, causing the water to run through my yard in torrents all summer from one mile North. _'they grub work on the new road at my frontgate and my front yard is the water way. Phis has caused me a great deal of trouble and expense.. I hauled 24 loads of dirt to fill in my yard:. 1 took the matter up vrith 111r. 1'ri.berg thinking he was the proper authority but he only expressed sympathy, and said perhaps_ he could get the committee to open up the old town road and the ditches as they were before the new road was built and fence off -the new road. 1 hope the county board will give this matter their attention as 1 want ant. immediate settlement for my land.
