Mr. Ludwig Tranmal,
County Clerk, Bayfield County,

Dear Sir;
SUBJECT: Bayfield County Bond_Issue
April 21, 1933
The Commission has recently given further consideration to the investigations
by our accounting department with reference to the expenditures made by several
counties from funds secured by bond issues authorized by the counties prior to 1925.
As a result, the Commission has adopted a more liberal interpretation of the statutes
and has consequently approved the revised distribution of the remainder of the outstan-
ding bonds, under which the state assumes a larger proportion of these maturities.
Copy of the revised statement as adopted by the Commission under date of April 13
is enclosed for your files.
You will note that under the revised plan'the state's obligation for 1933 is
04,200. You were recently mailed a check for- 2,607.00.- We are consequently arrang-
ing for a further remittance in the amount of 12593.00 which will go forward.about the
first of May.

To the Honorable Board of County Supervisors:
'Mashburn, Wis.
Dear Sirs:
We respectfully call your attention to an error in taxation; among the delinquent
taxes turned over to the county by the city of Washburn is an assessment on the Methodist
parsonage, Block Fifty-six (56), Lot Three (3), Townsite of Washburn. This property has
not been assessed heretofore, and has been used as the residence of our pastor, count-
ing as part of his salary. "Depression" ha.s reduced us to part time service and our

s
pastor lives -in Ashland.- We rent the parsonage and use the money in our church funds..
The city Treasurer said the property -was assessed because we rented. it. We feel that
this is discriminatory as three other denomina.tions-are using their property to in-
crease their funds --two rent their parsonages and one uses the church hall for gather-
ings of a money -making nature to increase church funds. None of these buildings- were
assessed.
Mr. Pearce Tompkins, Supervisor of Assessments, has assured us that the assess-
ment on our property _is illegal and cited us to Section 70.11 (4) Laws of Wisconsin.
We beg that you consider this matter and set this tax aside as illegal.
Respectfully submitted,
Trustees of M. F. Church

Motion was made by Squires and duly seconded that the taxes be cancelled as

April 25, 1933
Bayfield County Board of Supervisors,
Washburn, Wis.
Gentlemen:
We wish to extend our sincere th<-,-nks to you for naming The Times as official
county paper and to earnestly request you to reconsider your action in reducing the
folio rate for publishing the board's proceedings.
Under the rate ot' 350 per folio vie would not only be publishing the proceedings
without a profit but,would actually be losing money. The spring proceedings in 1932
covered 1141- column inches and totaled SS folios. This made an average of two inches
for each folio and at the rate of 450 per folio then effective we were receiving 22Lo
per column inch.. This was 25 per cent cheaper than our regular advertising rate of
300 per inch..
- - - - -- - - - - — ----- ------------ -- ----- — S LCLAL _I�i EL+_'_T 1W-'_ OTC'___THE._3AYFIELD__COUT_T-Y---BOARD---- ---- --- — ---- -----
APRIL 25, 1933
If the new rate of 350 per folio is put in force, we will be receiving only about
172¢ per column inch. It should be obvious that we cannot print proceedings at that
rate without a loss, as the cost of composition of such matter is high and it must be
very carefully proofread.
May we remind the board that we received a ZO percent cut on the folio rate last
year from 500 per folio to45¢ and that previous to teat we had been cut. from 600 per
folio. It seems hardly fair that we should no have to suffer another cut. of almost 25
Der cent in this rate,- which brings our total cut in the last few years -to about ' 50 per
cent.
A newspaper is a semi-public institution but must be conducted for profit if it is
to properly- serve the public. The Times performs a distinct service to the Bay -field
County government and citizens in printing free a considerable volume: of county govern-
ment news which would not otherwise receive the publicity it deserves. On this <Iccount,
we feel that we should not suffer unduly from the trend towards too extreme: economies
and vie trust that trie members of the board will carefully consider the above facts and
restore the rate of 450 per folio.
Very truly yours,
PAUL ROBIIN SON
Motion was made by C. 0. Nelson and seconded by Hering to reconsider the action

WHEREAS the present system of administering ;/. unemployment relief is contrary
to the State Set up by pauperizing the public and i now discriminating against certain
of the tax payers by giving certain tax payers benefits, depriving those receiving so
called unemployment relief of their just and legal right to be paid in cash and is
undermining and crippling our local schools and churches,
BE IT RESOLVED, that beginning on the first day of May, 1933, local poor relief
be administered according to the State Set Up, by the rules and regulations therein
provided, that jobs be created by the Municipal Board for unemployment projects and
that the men employed on such projects be paid in cash, providing however that if
there are some persons so employed, who in the opinion of the proper authorities are
not responsible persons to be paid in cash, then such persons be paid in work orders
as is being done at'the present time, to the.end that such persons receiving said un-
employment relief may maintain -their self-respect and not be treated as paupers for
their unfortunate financial condition which has been brought about through no fault of
their own.
