Total, 36. The follot.,ring letter was read: Grandview, Wisconsin April 5, 1935 County Finance Committee Washburn, Wisconsin We are sending you a copy of petition in Eegard to draining the area known as the Bibon Swamp. This land covers -territory as follows-: - Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 59 61 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 and 14, Township45 North, Range 6 West. Sections 1, 11 and 12, Township 45 North, Range 7 Test. Sections 7 and 8, Township 45 North, Range 5 West. Sections 31, 32, 33, 34, 35 and 36, Township 46 North, Range 6 West. The swamp is contained within the sections named either in part or whole sections are involved. IA fact, it is the only land in this vicinity that we can recom- mend for a housing project worth while. The cost of such a project would involve about two hundred thousand dollars for drainage, and would house one hundred fifty families. If the government can be induced to drain this area and to' acquire title to said lands for housing purposes then invest three thousand dollars per family to house and stock up and to also purchase farm implements, then to cause each family to pay off this obligation at a certain percentage each year over a period of years, we feel that this would have more to do with getting people off the dole system than any thing we could receemmend. It is estimated that this swamp will produce five hundred thousand dollars worth of hay alone if drained and if this land is once put under cultivation it is possible sugar beets enough to run a five hundred ton capacity factory for three months, thus giving work to hundreds for that factory. We feel that you hill give this your attention and support. Yours respectfully THE SQUARE DE:,%L CLUB By Chas.

I wish to purchase the NW SW of Section 11. This forty adjoins our property on the east and does not require having a road built to it. I hereby make an offer-of'$80.00 cash'for name. Checking the records in the office of the County Clerk, I find 'this the only - County -owned land available that will make our tract continous. All other land is pri- vately owned and not for sale. I also find that this forty, NW SW of Section 11, is under the State Forest Ctop Law.

The following resolution was read: RESOL.UT ION To the Members of the Bayfield County Board: WHEREAS there is in Bayfield County several' silver-- fox farms; which- are - growing concerns, and -from which the County derives taxes, and which-,w ll-pay--more-taxes as they develop. Bayfield County is'peculiarly adapted to the raising of fur bearing animals, because of climatic conditions. And WHEREAS 'there is now pending in Washington 'a movement to take- off the 50% duty now charged for importing fox furs into the United States thus placing the United .1 States fur farmer at a great disadvantage as fur farms can operate at much less expense in Canada than they can here. If the markets are thrown wide open here for furs from Canada it must result in great loss to the fur farmers of the United States, if not their ruin. THEREFORE', we ask that the Bayfield County Board protest to the senators and representatives in Congress against this move, and ask their assistance in keeping this tariff in force. Yours truly F. Bigelow, Apostle Islands Silver Fox - Farm Introduced by IRVING HADLAND Moved by Meyer and seconded by Knight to adopt the foregoing resolution. Motion carried. The following report was read: To the Honorable Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: Your Committee on Rural Planning and Conservation herewith wish to make a 305' SPACIAL TVIEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD APRIL 23, 1935 report of the progress of our work since the annua-1 • meeting- last- fall. Our assemblyman, Mr. Sib.bald', made arrangements, f or'an- interview -of our committee with the Public Service Commission and with -t'he 'Conservati,on Department on - March 21st. Vie met with the Public Service Commission and arranged for hearings to- be held within the County on the establishment of official lake levels and secured the ne- cessary detailed information on procedure. We requested of the Conservation Commission the establishment of a CCC Camp in County Forest Unit #2: They informed us that- we were No. 11 on the list of which only three were definitely assured. From information received since we have every rea- son to believe that`one will be established within a short time. We asked Mr. B. 0. Webster to help us secure a stream and lake improvement program but found it necessary' to take it up direct with Sid Gordon. We are now, cone tatting him and hope to have something definite and of value withina few days. We have been disatisfied for sometime with the method of -fish fry distribution and discussed it with Mr. Webster. He informed us that his department was now carrying on an educational program in the CCC Camps covering this work and�that plans were in the making for a more equal and better distribution in'the future. We had the lines run around Government Lot 5 in Section 34-47-8, which was set aside as part of the County Park System. One of our members secured funds from the State Conservation Department for a herd of starving deer and personally saw to it that the hay was delivered to the deer. Another member personally supervised the construction of fifteen feeding sta- tions for birds and kept them supplied with food through private contributions. He i.s also raising ring necked pheasants. A private individual has been approached and partly through our efforts he is this year setting two thousand (2000) pheasant eggs. 'A dam at Delta will be constructed raising the water level of Lake Delta approximately eight feet. The work will be done by the U. S. Forest Service. We are very much pleased and feel that our county should be proud of their forestry program consisting of both Federal and County Forests. We expect the Agricul- tural Committee will render a detailed report covering County Forests. The U. S. Forestry Department in addition to their Forestry program have cohA- menced a well rounded recreational, fish and game program. We have discussed the establishment of game preserves and are making -a study of same. At the present time we do not feel qualified to make any definite recommendati M, I. 14EYER S. E. SQUIRES ED.

W. SMITH Bayfield County Relief Director 3107 SPECIAL TVTEETING OFTHE* BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD -- - - - - ---- - - - - - - - - AFRTL 23, 1935 - - Mr. C. W. Smith, Director Bayfield County Outdoor Relief Department Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Smith: March 20 , -1935 Re: Blind Pensions - In your letter of March 6 you advise that the County Board has granted a number of pensions not exceeding .1'12 per person per month. You 13oint-out that in some cases this amount will be inadequate, necessitating supplementary relief. .The following is the policy of the WERA: If' the local community -is granting the maximum pension of $360.00 per year and, the individual or his family -is still in need, supplementary relief may properly be given, If', however, the local community is not giving maximum pensions to blind persons, the relief department is not justified in granting supplementary aid. As in the case of mothers' pensions, it is the belief of,this Administration that it is more desirable for the local community to use its funds to give adequate relief to a more limited number of families, rather than use its funds to give small amounts to a larger number of families and then expect supplementary aid from the relief department. To encourage counties to continue meeting their responsibility for special statutory aids (for example, mothers' pensions, blind pensions, etc.) the VIERA, in -making' grants of federal -state funds to counties, gives consideration to the degree to which counties are meeting these responsibilities. Very sincerely yours, ALFRED W. BRIGGS' Acting Administrator Moved by Squires and seconded. by Meyer to accept the foregoing communication and place on file. Motion carried..
