Mr. Ludwig Tranmal
Bayfield County Clerk
Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Tranmal:
In accordance with the provisions of Sec. 23.25, I am submitted to you for bring-
ing before the county board the following action of the state geographic board:
At its meeting on October 25, the board approved the proposed change in name
for the lake in Sec. 34, T44N, R7W and Sec. 3, T43N, R7W from East lake to Lake
Tahkodah, which means "friendly to all" in the Algonquin Indian language. The pro-
posal was made by Mr. Harwood F. Smith of Eau Claire, and concurred in by 26 property
owners near the lake.
We will appreciate your early consideration of this action, in order that final
decision may be requested from the U. S. division on geographic names.
Thanking you for your co-operation, I remain,
Very truly yours,
H. W. MacKenzie, Secretary
State Geographic Board
Moved by Unseth and seconded by A. E. Swanson to grant the request in

Subject: Sponsor's Contribution Required
for Bayfield County Sponsored
Projects during Calendar Year
from' -January 1, 1941, to Decem-
ber 31, 19410
Dear Mr. Squires':
For the past several years, we have attempted about this time of the year
to make a rather detailed study of what will be required in the way of funds from.
sponsors to operate projects for the calendar year and have advised sponsors so that
they may make provisions in setting up their budgets.
It has been estimated that the sponsor's contribution for Bayfield County
to participate in the TIPA program throughout the calendar year from January 1, 1941,
to December 31, 1941, will amount to the sum of $71,022. This will take care of ap-
proximately the same number of people in the calendar year 1941 that are being taken
care of at the present time.
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. You realize, also, that the type of projects
operated in 194f`have a direct bearing on the actual cash outlay that is necessary.
If any questions arise in regard to WPA projects, please.feel free to call
on us at any time.
Yours very truly,
Charles H. Gill, District Manager, Dist. #1

Dear Friend:
THE FATE OF WISCONSIN'S UNMARRIED MOTHERS
IS IN OUR HANDS -- AND YOURS!
As you know, if it were not for the timely practical help freely given to
unmarried mothers by the Martha Washington Home and Maternity Hospital of 6304 Cedar
Street, Wauwatosa, Wlis.consin, their sad plight would be infinitely sadder and more
menacing to the social welfare of our women and children.
No other haven in Wisconsin offers them the sympathetic Christian care that
they find in this consecrated HOME and HOSPITAL. It answers the perplexing question,
"Where can I go and not be de"spised?ll
These unfortunates come to us from every part of the state and they are wel-
comed with open hearts and hands.
MORE MONEY IS NEEDED
The yearly appropriation of from $50 to $300 by certain counties must be
augmented if we are to be enabled to "carry on" as the need arises.
So we urgently request you to apprise your County Board members of this
appeal at their next meeting. Let us hope that this letter and the enclosed outline
of our work will help you to get a favorable response.
In behalf of.desperate unmarried mothers,
Wt. H. Fox,
(Brigadier Wm. A. Fox)

Honorable Chairman, and
Members of the County Board, Bayfield County
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
I hereby submit my bid for the 1940 audit of the books and records of Bay -
field County as follows:
$20.00 per diem for senior accountant, and
$10.00 per diem for junior accountant, plus
living expenses while engaged in this work in your office.
In -'all -engagements where it requires a junior accountant, I have my son,
who is a senior accountant, to assist me. This, in many cases, results in less number
of days required to complete the audit and is a saving to the client.
While we have a general accounting practice, we are giving special attention
to Municipal Accounting and Auditing. Should you favor us with this audit, we assure
you very satisfactory service and that there will be no unnecessary time spent on the
engagement.
Respectfully yours,
GE ORGE F . GATES

Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Tranmal:
No doubt you will be bringing up the question of Addressograph at your
November meeting of the County Board . I understand that the IV. P. A. project for the
270
_ ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
November 12, 1940
correction of property descriptions has come along very nicely in your county, and
naturally, unless the County Board makes some provision for setting up these des-
criptions on a permanent basis, it will only be a matter of a short time and they
will be right back where they were before the project started.
Most of the counties now using our equipment have appointed a committee
to investigate just what the other counties have been able to accomplish with the
Addressograph system of tax collections.
Should you feel you would like to have me at your County Board meeting,
or if there is anything that you would like relative to this application, I will
appreciate hearing from you.
Yours very truly,
C. E. DoErr

The following resolution was read;
RESOLVED BY THE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF BAYFIELD COUNTY THAT:
Whereas, the County Board has had occasion in the past to sell to indivi-
dual land owners isolated descriptions of land that have been entered under the
Forest Crop Law when such land sales do not prevent the blocking of Forest Crop
Lands for efficient administration and development,'and
Whereas, the amount of money which the state has paid annually to the
County in Forest Aid Funds on such land since the land was entered under the Forest
Crop Law is withdrawn by the state from the next annual payment to the County, and
Whereas, it is the policy of the County in selling such land to add to the
sale price the amount received by the state on this land in Forest Aid Funds,
Now therefore, be it resolved that on all such land sales the County Clerk
be authorized to reimburse the County Forest Fund in the amount which the state has
paid to the County Forest Aid Fund and which is automatically withdrawn by the state
from the next annual payment to the County.

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED

HERETO RELOCATING APPROXIMATELY EIGHT
(8) MILES OF COUNTY TRUNK HIGHWAY "E"
IN THE TOWN OF MASON
The undersigned Committee begs to report as f o-6lows:
The Committee met on Tuesday, September.24, 1940 at Ino, and viewed and
investigated both the present location of County Trunk Highway "E" and the proposed
new location.
the same.
Your Committee finds that the total distance in either case would be about
Your Committee finds that the present location of County Trunk Highway "Ell,
in the Town of Mason is reasonably well graded and gravelled, and satisfactory as a
County Trunk Highway; while all of the new proposed location would need to be both
graded and gravelled,., at considerable expense to the County.
The Committee also finds that approximately two (2) miles of the proposed
new location on the Town line, between the Towns of Delta and Mason, has only recently
been opened UP as a Town Highway and has not been a well -traveled Town road for at
least a period of five years which is the requirement of Article 3, of County Board
Resolution, regulating additions to the County Trunk Highway System.
Your Committee also finds that the present location of County Trunk High-
way "Et/ goes through a well settled area the entire eight (8) miles; while the new
proposed location is entirely unsettled more than one-half of the distance.
Your Committee believes that the best interests of every one concerned
would be served by leaving the highway in its present location.
We, therefore, recommend that the resolution be received and placed on file.

REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO INVESTIGATE
A RESOLUTION ATTACHED HERETO, PROPOSING TO ADD 12.2
MILES OF TO?+'iTN HIGHWAY IN THE TOWNS OF EILEEN, PILSEN
AND KEYSTONE TO THE COU'�IiTY TRUNK HIGHWAY SYSTEM.
The undersigned Committee begs to report as follows:
The Committee- has inspected proposed road and met at Moquah on Monday,
June 10, 1-940 in connection therewith.
The Committee ,has attached hereto a brief estimate of the cost of building ,
this highway up to the standard of the present County Trunk Highway System in the
County of somewhat over $100,000.00,complete, as the present County Trunk Highways
are constructed, or approximately $80,000.00 for grading and graveling without the
oiling.
It is the belief of this Committee that the proposed road in the Towns of
Eileen and Pilsen is not at the present time graded and graveled up to the standard
required by Article 3 of the County Board Ordinance governing additions to the County
Trunk Highway System.
It is the further unanimous opinion of this Committee that the Towns of
Eileen and Pilsen should expend more town funds on this highway and bring it up to a
higher -standard, at which time it could be presented to the County Board for future
consideration.
This Committee also wishes to point out that the County's finances are in -
no condition to undertake this added expense at this time.
We, therefore, recommend the resolution be received and placed on file.

TO THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD:
The following is our report for the year 1940:
Court House
Cleaning, painting and varnishing in the offices of County Clerk, Municipal
Judge, Superintendent of Schools and Agricultural Agent have placed these offices in
good appearance and condition as is the case of the other offices in which this kind
of work has been done just recently.
In this connection will state that we overran our Court House Budget some.
We had planned to repair the roof and cupola but switched this to rearrangement of
the steam pipe lines in the basement which more than offset the amount intended for
the roof. -etc.
Jail, Central Heating Plant, Garage.& Residence
After careful checking, we find that with the exception of a few changes,
these are in good condition. Our budget has been carefully figured over and has
been submitted to the Finance Committee for consideration.

ANNUAL MEETING OF THE_BA_YF_IELD COUNTY BOARD
-- - ---— --- November 14, 1940------_-_-�--
The following report was read:
To the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors:
Reference is made to the correspondence of Charles P. Toy -regarding
the redemption of the following descriptions: N2 SE, SW SE Section 22, 'Up"N79
SE MV, N2 SW, Section 26, all in Township 49, Range 8, Nest.
Upon consultation with the Chairman of the town Board of Orienta, we
find that he does not favor the redemption of these lands inasmuch as most of them
are entered under the Forest Crop Law, and furthermore are restricted for forestry
purposes. He states that the Town Board would not favor removing the zoning res-
trictions from these descriptions, hence the property would not be of much value
to the former owners. Rather he suggests that Mr. Joy be advised to purchase
County -owned lands in either Section 14 or Section 23, Township 49, Range 9, and
advises that the Town Board of Orienta would act favorably upon removing the zoning.
restrictions from these two sections in order that Mr. Joy might make some use of
the land so purchased.

July 26, 1940
Chairman, Bayfield County Board
Dear Sir:
Washburn, Wisconsin
I find that your County has taken tax deed upon the following des-
cription in Bayf field County:
S/2 SE/4, Sec. 1, Twp. 51 N., R. 4 IV.
For the information of your Board I wish to inform you that the above
description was allotted to me on May 8, 1897, for which I received a restricted
patent from the Government, with the provision that said land 'shall not be sold,
leased or in any manner alienated without the consent of the Secretary of the
Interior." Theref ore, in view.of the trust patent issued and the fact that the
never
restrictions imposed therein have/been removed, it is my contention that the County
erred in issuing the tax deed.
I therefore petition your Honorable Board to take such steps as are
necessary to cancel the tax deeds and remove the above description from the tax
rolls.

Washburn,Wis.
County Board
Gentlemen:
Bayfield Co., Wisconsin
November 8, 1940
The Common Council of the City of Washburn feel that as the use -of the
Pioneer School Building for offices is as much a County affair as the City, there
should be an appropriation by the County Board to share some of the expense of its
maintenance.
The City supplies Janitor service, lights, water, part of the fuel,
repairs and upkeep of building, and supplies, all of which has cost the City about
01,000.00 per year. We would request that the County Board appropriate $300.00 for
their share of the maintenance cost.
Very truly yours,
A. I. Lien,
City Clerk

INDIGENT SOLDIERS' AND SAILORS' RELIEF COMMISSION
OF BAYFIELD COUNTY
Bayfield, Wisconsin
Nov. 143, 1940
To the Chairman and Members
Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
The following is a consolidated report of this commission for the year just
past, by action of this commission it was decided to render a consolidated report
instead of a report in detail, and to have the commission books open to whoever
wished for a report in detail.
From our last year report it shows that we had a balance of $618.23 for
this past year. Of this amount $137.80 was the cost of administration, which in -
eluded the following:
Se.c'y. Salary, mileage, postage, telephone, etc. 71.32
Member commissioner expense Per Diem, mileage
Postage, etc. 32.01
Member Commissioner expense, Per Diem, Mileage,
Postage, etc. 29.47
Bond premium 5.00
$137.80
This commission received and reviewed thirty-one applications from all
over the County, of this number it was necessary to disallow seven applications due
to various reasons. Twenty-four applications were allowed which were worthy cases
and in each case were found necessary. These cases as charged against the commission
account in vouchers issued, and authorization for aid outstanding amounts to Five
Hundred and thirty-one dollars ($531.06) and six cents, which shows the accounts
$50.63 in the red at this date.
Respectfully submitted,
By J. M. Gordon, Seely.
Moved by Pristash and seconded by Brink to accept the foregoing report and
place on file. Motion carried.
The following report was read:
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FINANCE.AND BUDGET COMMITTEE
INovember 8, 1940
TO THE HONORABLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
BAYFIELD COUNTY, WISCONSIN
Gentlemen:
We,submit the proposed budget for the fiscal year beginning'January 1, 1941,
and recommend its adoption.
We call your attention to the fact that the short loans in the nature of
notes have been reduced to $10,000.00 as of November 1, 1940. This was made possible
due to better tax collections. It should also be noted that the cash on hand as of
November 1, 1940 was less than a year ago. The foregoing facts together with a larger
highway cash balance explains why the short loans were so small as of November 1.
The total financial structure of the County as to assets and liabilities remains about
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYF'IELD COUNTY BOARD
November 14, 1940
the same: In other words, we are not in any better shape to assume new and increased
obligations than we have been for several years.
The valuation of the County has been increased $392,765.00 over a year ago,
allowing an increase of-$3,927.65-in County taxes-. The increase in Bayfield County's
share of Sanatorium costs will use up the major portion of our increased income from
real and personal property taxes.
It is important that all appropriations be included in the budget. If not,
it means increased borrowing. Recommendations are being made separately for other
than the budget in the form of resolutions..
