to appear before you in person, and explain the necessity of complete co-operation

to the satisfaction of all concerned.
The commission received and investigated 41.applications, 32 of these
received favorable action, it was necessary to disallow 9 applications when it was
found that the applicants had sufficient incomes.to keep them from want.
Total expenditures for the.year amounted to 6`839.61,of this amount $150.83

Secretary salary and expenses $ 62.90
Commissioners expenses (2 men) 75.66

$150.83
After deducting the above cost from the total amount expended, this
commission spent $688.78 for the relief of the indigent soldiers and sailors of this
county and their families, and was in the form of groceries and clothing and fuel,
the average amount paid in each case was $21.53, not one cent was spent out of this

Route 2, Mason, Wisconsin
Subject: Sponsors contributions required to
employ estimated number, of WPA project
workers on county sponsored projects
during the calendar year from January
1, 1940 to December 31, 1940.
Dear PiIr. Squires:
This report has been prepared to present a general picture of the amount
of sponsors contributions necessary to finance the WPA program for the c.alendar year
of 1940. In preparing this report, it was necessary to estimate the average employ-
ment for the calendar year of 1940.
It has been.estimated that WPA will employ in Bayfield County an average
throughout the year of 1940 of 6.994 man months of labor. Of this amount, it is
estimated.that Bayfield County will employ on county sponsored projects (not including
farm -to market roads, or conservation work) 893 man months of labor. This will
necessitate a sponsors contribution of $2.0,566.00.
Of course, you realize that this amount may not be an actual cash expendi-
ture by Bayfield County, depending upon the amount of cash, kind and services the
county furnishes toward the project. These figures do not include, as we stated
above, co -sponsored projects by the towns under the farm to market program, or county
co -sponsored conservation projects. Separate reports will be furnished the towns,
205
ANNUAL P,METING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD

sometime in April before their spring meetings. Separate reports will also be
furnished the Wisconsin Conservation Commission.
We have worked up this report so that the county will have a figure
from which to work so that funds may be included in their budget to carry on a worth-
while business -like WPA program in Bayfield County during the calendar year 1940.
If any questions arise in regard. to UPA projects, please feel free to
call on us at any time.

Northern Pacific Railway right-of-way through Bayfield County. It is our understanding
that the land described as 11-47-5, VI, N.W.,,NE is owned by Bayfield County. Our line
is located on the railroad fence line adjacent to this property, which has'&rown up with
underbrush and trees.
We are desirous of obtaining permission to cut all the ,underbrush and soft
wood trees, birch and poplar, within 50 feet of the railway fence and our line in order
to protect our line from fire that may result along the railroad right-of-way and, also,
from falling trees. This, Tape feel, would also safeguard the remaining trees' on the
county property -described from possible fire. Any evergreen trees in this strip would
be left standing as they would not endanger the line from falling or.fire if'the brush
and soft wood trees were cut down.
Will you please advise us as soon as practicable if this clearing `can be done
and, if so, the disposition of the wood.
Yours truly,
L. H. Garber,
District Plant Superintendent

REPORT OF BUILDING &, GROUNDS COIJ11,1ITTEE
Re: Completion of Vault Annex
In our report a year ago, we advised you that the project above was
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
---- -- -- ---November 16, 1939 - -------
I
written up as follows:
Total $ 23611..00
Sponsors Contribution 12690.00
Total expenditures for the County were $13412.48 or $722.48 in excess of
our original figure. Will say, however, included in the work and which was not
I
originally planned was the completion of a very substantial vault in part of the
old boiler room. With the State government disposed'to create additional county
offices from time to time, this additional vault will enable us to property provide
necessary office space and a vault for an additional office. We might add, however,
that some outlay will be necessary to place the old boiler room in proper condition
for use as an office.
Figuring in this additional vault space referred to above as a material
asset, the total amount would just about round out our total expenditures of $13412.48.
The four single and one double vault doors for which you appropriated $1500
at our Iday meeting have been put in place at a total cost of $1432.90, leaving a
balance.of $67.10.
We have several vault doors on hand which can be sold from time to time.
We will., however, need one vault door for the new vault in the old boiler room.

In accordance with the provisions of ..Section 23.25, I:am submitting to you
for bringing before the county board the following action of the state geographic

property owners near the lake.
We will appreciate your early consideration of this action, in order that

We strongly urge that all appropriations for funds be included in the budget..
'Je want it plainly understood that when the County Board makes an appropriation for
any item not included in the budget, whether at this meeting or any subsequent meeting,
it means an increase in debt and consequently increased borrowing. AN INCREASE IN
