TO THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS:
Gentlemen:
Whereas our County takes great pride
In keeping our finances on the safe side
And•whereas thrift is a praiseworthy habit
At times ou-r economy, is rather erratic,
Just for instance the other day
I was in the office where the pensions they pay
The office equipment was of modern design
Glean and bright as a brand new dime.
But up on the wall to and behold
There hangs a clock that sure must be old.
Its vintage IT.m sure no one knows
Just hangs there and it never goes
And like an old pensioner who is old in years
Whose pinions are rusty as well as its gears
So therefore be it resolved
That we purchase a clock to .hang on the wall.
And further we instruct and authorize
That a new.one hang where the other died:
Harry C. Anderson
