Whereas, The burden of taxation is becoming steadily harder for the farmer to bear.
Whereas, The, farmer through lack of organization on a large scale has contributed
to cause this condition and likewise through lack of organization has been unable

Whereas, the farm lands of Bayfield County are being returned delinquent by the
I
thousands of acres, thereby increasing the burden upon those struggling sett-lers
s
whom are endeavoring to create homes for themselves, I , and, there posterity here in

appears that this situation is unfair and unjust to the townships which have little
or no county roads as compared with those townships which have considerable county
roads, in view of the fact that the townships which have no county roads nevertheL_
less pay their share of county road tax and none of which is or can be expended in
their own townships for county road pur_,,)oses, therefor:

road purposes, the County Hjghway Commission be directed to furnish heavy road

We recommend a sum not to exceed $14,500.00 gs Bayfield County's portion
of the operating expenses for the ensuing year.
I
We also find that it is necessary that a nurses' home be constructed.
i
the present plans as submitted calls for a. total expenditure of $25,000.00 of which
i
Bayfield County's share would be about $8,000.00

If the Board decides to held a fair, we recommend

committee that the lighting of the grounds would be a profitable investment, pro-
vided it could be made from the $2,500.00 appropriation.
We recormmnerid that. hereafter all County :Fair bills be paid by the

While the statutes does not seem to direct that a report be made by

to you to have such a report before you at your annual meeting, and submit: same
herewith for your information..
I regret to say that this report- will show expenditures for that.
purpose co nsiderable in excess of the appropriation made by you a year ago, and
the demand seems to be increasing all the time. I have aimed to administer this
fund conscientiously as possible, having in mind the needs of the widows and orphans,
and at the same time bearing in mind that the average: tax payer of Bayfield County
has a hard time to make ends meet.
Respectfully yours,

NOVLT03ER 159 1927 -
i'he following letter was then read:
November 4, 1927.
0. M. Axness, Esq.,
Chairman. of Bayfield County Board
TT-ason, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Axness:
1 met and talked with representatives of the Ashland and iron County
Boards yesterday. Among other things that cama-up was the question of enforcing the
collection of unpaid taxes on real estate. You understand that many owners, who
have other means, are permitting these lands to go delinquent. L4ihether it is their
intention to abandon them for a.11 time or riot, we do not know. 'hey probably hope
for the old opportunities of making a compromise at some future date. At any rate
this is seriously effecting the financing of county affairs where the blow strikes
first. in Ashland County the Town of Sanborn has contributed nothing in County
taxes since 1922 and the collections that are made by the treasurer are being returned
to the town.
1 have learned in the last few weeks that several owners of large
amounts of cut -over lands are planning on abandoning them. r`or that reason some
determined effort should be made to collect these taxes by the town treasurers and
they should have the necessary assistance and cooperation of the countyas a whole.
It was suggested by Mr. Dan Reid, chairman of the iron County Board, and approved
by Mr. Ralph Bretting, chairman of the Ashland County Board, that a meeting be held
at Ashland some time iimpediatley after the first of the year and that all local
treasurers be invited to attend this meeting. It was also thought best to have at
least one representative of the toms and village boards and city council present..
i promised to get in touch with the Yax Commission and see if I could riot get some
member of the Commission to address the meeting. 1 am writing you so that you may
take this matter up with members of the County Board at the annual meeting.
The expenses for traveling, etc., would have to be paid by the local
districts, but 1 believe the thing is well worth while and that we would be more
successful in collecting taxes on these cut -over lands and it would stop all thought
of abandoning the same on the part of people who can be held for the tax.
Yours very truly,
Pearce Tomkins.
ASSESSOR OF INCOTaS
Motion was made by Hering and seconded by Y. Johnson that the Board
ay,prove of the suggestions of Pearce 'Zomkins listed in the foregoing communication.
Motion was made to amend the foregoing resolution, and that the County
clerk b e instructed to ascertain -the date of such meeting and to notify the proper
'own, City and village officers that the County Board requests at least one,
representative of each taxing district to attend such meeting, and that such expense
be paid by each town, city or village, respectively. Motion carried..
The following resolution was then read:
To, Pearce 'j'omkins, Assessor of incomes,
District #30, of u+isconsin.
Vie, the members of the 1Bayfield Oounty .Board assembled in annual session,
hereby wish to call your attention to and demand that you under the powers and
duties as defined in subsection (3) of 6hapter (70.75) of the Wisconsin Statutes,
which read in part. as follows:
ANNUAL' 1'C�E.T I NG OF TFE BAYF I ELD COUNTY BOARD
NOVEI0ER 15, 1927.
i
ri.e shall have the powers and rights of a local assessor for the examination
of persons and property and for the discovery of property subject to taxation and
shall have the power to personally value and reassess any property previously assessed
by the local assessor. '
And further to use any other powers and duties defined in said chapter (70.75)
Subsections (1) to (7), inclusive, toward securing a more accurate and uniform assess-
ment for equalization.
It is further the opinion of this Board that if this cannot be done the Board
must on its own motion as defined in said chapter order a reassessment of several
assessment,.districts in the county, so as to prevent the unloading on the County of
tax certificates on property assessed above all reasonable value as is pointed out in
your report submitted.

riNNU I REPORT O.F THE COUNTY H 7_GHWAY
C I T T EE -
NOVEI�0, ER 15, 1927.
Your county highway Committee begs to submit their annual report on highway
conditions with recomriiednations. for the following year.
r'or a. statement of moneys received and disbursed we refer you to the County
.Highway Commissioner's financial report.
Your committee went over the State and County highway systems last spring
during the wet weather that we had then and we found them at that time to be in no
condition to stand any prolonged wet period of weather. de found mi,&s and miles of
State highwaysi and all of the 129 miles of County highways without any surfacing of
any kind, even some of the red clay roads that had been surfaced with sand were not
holding up under the traffic that was going over them. Sie could readily see that we
must 'try to get a better grade of gravel on these roads as fast as possible if vie
were going to expect therm to hold up during wet weather. Just receritly we went over
the same highways again and found them to be in the best shape we,have ever seen
them, due partly to the good work which has been done on these highways this summer
and partly to the favorable fall weather, but we know very well that just as soon as
the sky gets cloudy and it starts to rain, these same roads will soon become almost
inpassable, and will continue to be that way until they are surfaced with fairly
good gravel.
In setting
dowr: the
work
that
really needs to be done badly, on the County
Trunk Highways alone,
we find
that
we cant even begin to do a half of what needs to
'be done with the money
that can
be
raised under the 2 mill provisions of the Jiigh-
way laws. This is due to the
fact
that
the assessed valuation of this County is very
low in comparison to
the large
number
of
miles of County Trunk highways that we have
to bu-'ld and maintain
and each
year
the
assessed valuation of the county is going
down, thereby forcing our available highway appropriation down also. This reduced
valuation makes a cut in our highway appropriation necessary of �2398.08 for this
year and has reduced our county highway appropriation $15,773.98 less than the amount
raised by 2 mills in 1920.
in view of these facts your c om?iiittee� is firmly of the opinion that we can-
not reduce our 2 mill levy for county trunk highways and still keep them up in any
kind of fit shape to travel on at all. We believe that if the two mill levy is re-
duced you will have to bond this county within a year or two in order to do the work
that absolutley has to be done to koep these highways passable and we all know that
it costs more money to borrow and bond the county and pay interest than it does to
just do the best we can with the money we can raise and pay as we go.
Disregarding for the time being the State Trunk Highway System entirely as
far as County money is concerned we find the County highway system about as follows;
9

AMA-L. HEE'LINC OF T—__1E BAY]± IELD COUNTY BOARD
NOV73111BER 16, 1927. - -
County Trunk highway "A"" and "'N"". - Drummond., Darnes and iron itiver road,
I,TX County Trunk "A" part of this highway is 26 miles long and is fairly well constr-
i
ucted with the completion of this year's work for the first 13 miles from Drummond
toward Iron River. The other 13 miles needs to be widened and graded, but we do not
i
feelthat we can do anything on this piece of road this coming year with the small
amount of money available. The type of soil on this road is sandy or gravel and is
not slippery during wet weather.
i -
'The County 'hunk "NO part of this highway is from near Halls' corner to
Douglas County line near Barnes , is 7-_1lj- miles long, very narrow and winding and needs
regrading badly, and because it is the only piece of road on the 33 miles of highways
between Drummond andiron river that we feel should be improved this coming year,
we are recommending 43000.00 for grading same.
i
County 'Trunk "All from Iron River to Port Wing.
This highway is sixteen miles long and is red clay soil almost the entire
distance. We have just completed the last of the grading on this highway this year
i
and started to gravel the road from Iron Diver North. a'1e consider this highway one
of the most important in the County, because it is the only outlet to a railroad for
a great many people in the vicinity of Port ;'ling and its present condition is absol-
utely impassable after a wet period of weather. I'fe are therefore recommending an
appropriation of $5,000.00 to continue the graveling started this year.
County Trunk "B" - Town of Oulu
This Highway is 12 miles long and all red clay. the first 8 miles from the
Jct. of "B" is graded and sand surfacing was placed on part of same last winter,but
with the very bad spring break-up this year, the sand -has all worked into the clay, and
at the present time the road is slippery when wet, which is one reason we believe that,.
we must have a bet.t-er grade of gravel on these clay roads. 'i'here is a bridge on the
first mile of this highway over Iron River that needs some repairs. On the last 4
miles of this road there are five bridges that need to be built.:and the grading and
surfacing of this last four miles, which is heavy clay soil, we estimate at about
$129000.00 besides the bridges. tile. do not believe that we can allot enough money to
make even a good start toward building this last 4 rniles.of road this year, and we
believe it would be better to complete graveling the 8 miles that have been graded
and we are therefore recommending an appropriation of 03,000.00 for that purpose.
County Trunk "C" Washburn - Cornucopia.
This highway is 21 miles long with all types of soil, from red clay -to
sand barren, and is undoubtedly one of the most important county trunk highways in
i
the county for the reasons that the road from iron River to Port t7ing is important,
i
and is also in need of a great deal of work soon; for instance there are 19 Vitrofied
'rile Culverts on 1-0' miles of this road inside of the city limits of Vrashburn that will
need to be replaced within a few years, some of them are under high fills and we
estimate the probable cost at about $,4,000.00 for this work alone. Then there are two
or three miles of very expensive construction in the Four ]Kile Creek Valley that
should be done soon, three miles of sand barrens that need grading and six miles of
the old grade from the barrens to Cornucopia that needs widening, ditching and grad-
ing at once. i)ue to the backward spring and late start that our construction crews
got this spring and the ]merge amount of construction work that our county crews did
by force labor for the State it was impossible for us to complete the grading provided
for on this highway this year unless we tofle up the road late in October, which we: did
not consider wise to do.

We therefore recommend 03,500.00 to continue grading from where this year's appropriation
will end.
f
County 'Zrunk °'D" - Cable to 'Grandview.
This highway is-29 miles long. The soil is largely gravel and only a short
I
i
piece- of it needs to be surfaced, but about 12 miles of it is narrow., hilly, crooked
i
and needs grading. The center abutment: of the bridge over the Namekagon river in the'
`1`own of Cable is crumbling away and needs repairing and there are three large. wooden
j bridges at Namekagon Lake that will soon need replacing. `he replacement of .these
three bridges will b e . a heavy expense :so for this year we are only recor.mer:ding an
� 000.00 for the re g g g appropriation of 4r �„ pair of the z�ameka on Brid e raisin of the
Highway across two sinkholes and grading a short piece of this highway in the Yown of
Cable.

County '�'�ruri.� E = Sanborn to �ibon asor., - lno.
i'his Highway is-18 miles long and mostly clay soil. what part of this road
from I;t�asorl to lno which is 12 miles long is fairly well graded and surfaced and with
i
the completion of this year's work can do as it i.s for another year. A concrete
bridge was constructed on this highway this season, but the six miles of this road
� I
between the Town of Kelly and Lincoln needs surfacing badly, and regrading in spots -
and for this work we are recommending �h3,000.00.
The total real estate and personal property valuation of thf.s
county as re-
ported by the Income- 'i"ax Assessor's, office is ��20,230,143.00 for this

The above figures if carefully studied will give the members of the Bayfield
County Board an idea of how much the county highway appropriations have been reduced in
the past year and in this proposed program for the next year and also the fact that in
1920 there were ninety-six miles of highways on the county Trunk highway System in this
County, while today there are 129 miles of highways on the County Trunk Highway System.
In other words, County Highway Funds have decreased about 56.8%, while the County
Trunk Highway Tiileage has increased about 34.44% since 1920. In the face of these facts
your committee strongly recommends that the two mill levy for highways be not reduced
this year, or any year as long as Bayfield County wishes to be responsible for 129
miles of County 'Trunk Highways.
Your committee strongly recommends that there be absolutley no additions to
the County 'Trunk highway System in this Ccunty as long as the present State highway
laws are in force, because under the present Highway Laws the 'Towns receive $25.00 per
mile for every mile of Toir:n Highways in their towns and the County does not receive
any more state aid funds reg
ardless of how many miles may be added to the system.
Your committee believes that if anything a reduction, in the present County Highway
System rather than any additions should go hand in hand with any attempt to reduce
County Highway appropriations.
ffe believe the members of this board might be interested in the number of
vehicles going over our state and county highways as shown by traffic courts this
season, These counts were taken on the following dates: June 6, July 4., 13 and 23,
August 3, 14 and 24, September 5 and 21, on all State and County roads in the County,
and only the average for the season for each road is inserted here.

'The maintenance of the State Trunk Highway System as provided for by the
State funds4g on about the same as this past season. The State Department desires
to spend as much of the Gang Maintenance Mroney as possible for gravel surfacing on the
State 'Trunk System, and in order to secure better gravel for both State Gang M-aintenance
and County money we have purchased a small port -able screening and crushing plant which
289
0I5UAL MEETING Of THE BAYF IELD COUNTY _- OARD
NOVEMBBR 16, 1927:
was -used this past season for the graveling of the Vashburn-Ashland road on 113, with
Fang 11aintenance money, and on the graveling job on County Trunk "A" between Iron
'-iiver and Fort Ving with County money. -both of these jobs have turned out eery good,
due largely to the good grade of gravel which was possible for us to put on these
roads with this plant. ii1Je believe this is one of the most practical and commercial
pieces of equipment that the county has secured in a long time and we might also add
that the state pays us a rental price for the use of this plant at the rate of 30
cents per cubic yard, which this season has :amounted to about one-third of the pur-
chase price.
Gang Maintenance money will be used this coming year to surface with gravel
the most slippery parts of Stat.eTrunk #13 from the Douglas County line to Bayfield
I
with possibly a small amount of Gang Maintenance money being used to syrface two
miles of ##24 from Drummond South.
j As to the construction of the State Trunk highway system for this coming year,
the Wisconsin Highway Commission have agreed not to do any furtl.-er work on the fish
Creek slide on U. S. #2' this season, and have also agreed with us that if the con-
dition of this slide is as serious next spring as it is at present they will then
i
consider the changing of this highway back to some other route. In any event whether
they use any other route or the Fish Creek route for U. S. #r2, they have definitely
!
agreed NOT to use any of Bayfield County°s allotted construction funds for the con-
i
struction of U. S. ##2 in this county.
"he Wisconsin highway Commission has allotted the State and Federal Aid
I
Gonstruction of this county available in 1928 under section 84.03, a'ubsection 9, to
construct State Trunk i#24, beginning near Grandview, thence across Bibon Swamp and

North as far as the/funds allotted under t<<is provision for 1929 to be expended be-
tween Washburn and Bayfield.

of their bridge and the 'Town of Oulu rejected bids received on their bridge because

�I
TO THE HONORABLE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD: ,
We the undersigned County Board Committee on .Finance, kiiscellaneous claims and
Budget, wish to make the following report and recommendations:
i
We wish to call your attention that the recommended budget of this committee has
been increased to some extent over the appropriations of last year. This is due
largely to the following items: Mothers' pension, an increase of $.5,500.00, contingency
05, 000.00, Principal of Eonds, 03,000.00, Elections '? 2, 000.00, State Special Charges
1,676.27, Sheriff $600.00 and County Court $500.00.
The County Board has no option in the payment of Mothers' Pension but must pay
i
the court orders issued by the Ccunty Judge. The amount of such claims paid during
last year as shown by the records and the number of claims on file with others in
prospect, leads the committee to believe that the amount now recommended will probably
bed Iufficient to meet them.
i
77e have increased the contingency fund to $P20,000.00, which we hope will offset
the estimated shortage in tax collections.
The increase on Principal of Bonds is due to the fact that the first series of
Sioux River Bridge Bonds becomes due in 1928.
'i'he increase on Elections is due to the fact that next year7irill have General and
Presidential Election.
the increase in State especial Charges is due to the increase in the number of
i
inmates in State Institutions. These amounts are certified to the County by the
Secretary of State and are fixed charges.
The increase of Sheriff's office is due principally to liquor later violations.
ANNUAL ME E.T ING OF THE BAYS' IELD COUNTY BOARD
NOiIEMBER 169 1927.
The increase in County Court is due largely to increase of County Court and -Probate
! work.
A number of items have -been reduced, the largest being the reduction of interest on
I
bonds, $1,100.00, teed Gross., `�11,000.00, Humane Society 200.00, vounty Maps. $500.00,
Justice Uou-rts �250.00, Tuition laid. 'i'raining Schools. 4150.00, Uounty's share of forest
fires y�150.00, and District. A-tt.orney $100.00.
We wish to refer you to the minutes of our July Committee meeting and the report of
the Auditors for the financial status of the Sanatorium.
i
We have examined the Audit Report of the County Books and records and wish to call �
your attention to the fact that a copy of same is on file in the County Clerk's office
� � I
for your personal -inspection.
1. (See page 189 of County .Board Journal, Vol. 6.) j
i
2. We -recommend that the claim of Frank Brozovich for blind pension be disallowed
for the reason that one eye is intact according to the report of the Examiner of blind
and Deaf.
I �
i
3. We recommend that the Pension of Sam Gilles for Blind and Deaf relief be increased
from y 37.50 to 4�40.00 per month, the maximum allowed by l.aw.
j Your committee believes that the two mill levy is an absolute necessity if we are to

graveling outlined by the Highway Committee. l,e believe also unless the two mill levy
for highways is continuted vie will be forced to bond for highway work within the next
I
i.: few years.
I
i
Your Budget and Finance Oommittee further recommend the adoption 'of the full report
! of the road and Bridge committee as filed by said committee, and recommend that the i
several amounts constituting the Highway appropriations be allocated as recommended by
I
said: iioad and Bridge committee.
4i'e further wish to submit to you a proposition of Superintendent of Schools. ML s. i
TJrIller has an item of about $900.00 which she wants the board to appropriate for Special

The largest expenditure being in the office of the Register of .Deeds, which,

was overrun. T.hree or four of these books would have had to be repaired within
the next year, the cost of which would have equalled the total cost of all the books
ewe had repaired at this time. �y having these additional books repaired at this
time we do not believe it will be necessary to have any books repaired for the next
ten or fifteen years.
We recommend the following appropriations for the ensuing year:

one hundred and forty days labor @_61.00 per day, which would be a saving of at least

this the prisoners have torn down several county owned buildings (acquired by tax deeds)
