• Building rate $1.44, contents $2.52, five year rate. Tornado about one-half these:
rates.
The annual premium is about, $225 on court house and
• contents. The state collects about Two Million Dollars annually from insurance
companies in taxes and fees. The cost of operating the State Insurance Department
is about. Fifty Thousand Dollars annually.
$410.00 County Buildings� dotal amount of premiums for

annually insuring with the State, we recommend that the insurance be let to local
agents in the county, ' considering the service rendered by the local agents well
worth the additional cost.

Superior, Wisconsin
April 22, 1930.
Preliminary announcement has already gone out of 'Through Highways Conference
to be held at Ladysmith upon Saturday, May 10, 1930, at the Court House, com-nencing
at ten o'clock A. M.
This meeting is called pursuant to action taken at the conference at Superior
of last December. It is hoped at the meeting at Ladysmith to be able to agree upon
a definite legislative program for the purpose of securing the. completion of a system
of Through Hard Surface Highways in the State of tiIisconsin, which may be used through-
out the entire year.
An invitation is issued to you, and to all others in North Wisconsin intereste
at the meeting
in this subject, to attend the meeting. :'here were over 200 in attendance/in Superior
in December. From responses received to date it is apparent that the attendance at
the meeting at Ladysmith will exceed the att-endance at the Superior meeting.
The subject of Through Highways is one of the most important and vital matters
confronting the people of Wisconsin. It is essential to North Wisconsin that some
program be worked out that will receive the approval of the entire state. It is import-
ant that we approach the subject from a broad state viewpoint; that we consider,the
interests of every section of the state; that we attempt to outline a definite program
and
that
sentiment be so crystalized that its
adoption may be
secured. It
is hoped
that
the
matter will be given consideration: in
every community
and.public
sentiment
crystalized in a definite way.
In order that the citizens of Ladysmith may know hoer many to plan for, will
you kindly advise I . Theodore Crone of Ladysmith, Oecretary of the Ladysrith Civic
Club, as to how many will attend the meeting from your corruiiunity.
Very truly yours,
CLARENCE J. HARTLEY
Acting Chairman,
:north Wisconsin Through

TO THE HONORABLE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARDS
The Buildings and Grounds Committee advertised for bids to be opened on
February 27, 1930, for the reconstruction of the vault in the County Treasurer's
office"according to plans and specifications.
BefoZe opening the bids your committee secured estimates as to the cost of
construction as shown by the plans. We also secured estimates of cost of building
a one-story brick faced addition on the rear of the building and decided it would
be unwise to open bids. The original plan would increase the Treasurer's vault

space, but not enough to enable.hiin to take over all the records required by law to
be in his possession. It would cut off considerable room from the County Clerks
j office. In other words, whore we had one crowded office before, we would then have j
two crowded offices.
The proposed addition on the rear of the building would cost a little
more, but would solve the problem for many years under the present rate of usurpation
of vault space. 'Ve have, therefor, requested the architect to draw up another set of
plans which are now ready. At this writing your committee has not seen the new plans
but they will be here in time for the board meeting, and submitted to you for your
consideration.
Bids were opened on February 27, 1930, and a contract was let for $400
for installation of ventilation systems in the basement of the Register of Deeds and
County Clerk's vaults. This work has been completed and accepted.
