Washburn, Wisconsin May 4, 1937 Recommendation of the Bayfield County Highway Committee Relative to Proposed Federal Farm to Market Secondary Road Program The attached Resolution covers a small part of the proposed Federal Farm to Market or Secondary Road Program. The following comments give a general outline of such program as it effects Bayfield County. The program has been placed under the supervision of the Federal Bureau of Roads and the Wisconsin Highway Commission jointly. Wisconsin's allotment for this purpose being approximately $640,000, available about July 1st. Bayfield County'';: is entitled or promised no definite amount from this program. These funds must be expended -on a Secondary System of Highways selected by the State Highway Commission and the 524 .ANNUAL SPRING MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD Federal .Bureau --of" Roads jointly-, which 1n. this county -include-s -,the-,-G'ounty Trunk Highway System only- The work done., must- meet all-- of"-,the--specifieat•i.on,s-----and..requi�reme`n -s- of the - Federal Bureau of Roads covering the particular type of ''work, to be done; als-o-including labor regulations as, to selection of- labor, hours, and wage°--rat-es. .. The work- also must --be let by contract through the. State Highway Commission" and one half of -the - coat` -thereof must be paid- by the- County to the State prior to the exe-cution-,ofthe---c,ont-rac,t-: Thee County must in addition thereto, assume all costs of plans, surveys-, supervision, right of way, etc. There.are various other details too numerous to mention here. The County. Highway Committee believes that Bayfield County cannot justify, in a practical way, the sponsoring of .any.- type- of grading-, draining, graveling, or surfacing - of any part of the County Trunk Highway .System under -the restrictions imposed by the above program, however, it may be possible to realize something -of value from --the program thro, the building of bridges which are usually built by contract' in any case. In the- opinion of the Committee the only bridge on the County Trunk Highway System -warranting immediate rebuilding.is the bridge over the Namekagon River on County Trunk Highway "Dt9 in the Town of Cable, and your Committee approves of the attached resolution covering the construct- ion of that bridge and recommends its passage..

All windows have been properly- puttidd- and painted, which will also give considerable relief in so far -as fuel is concerned.
