WISCONSIN STATE PLANNING BOARD
300 State Office Building
Madison, Wisconsin
November 7, 1941
Dear County Clerk:
If your county does not have a planning body authorized to cooperate with
federal and state planning organizations, it is desirable that one be set up. It
is particularly necessary at this time in view of the Public Works Reserve. This
is a Federal Agency set up under the joint sponsorship of the Federal Public Works
Agency and the National Resources Planning Board for the purpose of planning a
program of public works to provide employment, if public works construction on a
substantial scale shall be necessary when the present defense emergency is terminated.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
`-- November 11, 1941—'----- --- —_-
Staff organizations of the Public.Works Reserve have been or are being
set up in every state. In Wisconsin the setup has been delayed somewhat, but
present indications are that it will soon become active. It will be necessary for
the Public Works Reserve .staff to, make contacts with local governing bodies and
since most County Boards do not have frequent- meetings it seems desirable that an
agency of the County Board, to provide such contact, should be set up at the annual
meeting. This may be the County Park Commission (Sec. 27.05, Statutes), if the
county has one, or some committee of the'Coanty Board, as the Board may deem,ad-
visable. Its duty should be to confer with representatives of the Public Works
Reserve, and make such reports and recommendations to the County Board with respect
to post emergency p,4blic,works construction as it shall deem necessary or advisable.
The State Planning Board has no connection.with the Public Works Reserve,
and has not been requested to send out this circular. But we are aware of the situa-
tion and think it should be called to the attention of the respective County Boards.
Yours very respectfully,
C
WISCONSIN STATE PLANNING BOARD

WHEREAS, the Northwest �Zuarter of the Southwest Quarter of Section 34,

A similar communication is being sent to the chairman of each County

certain will interest your Board and also the residents of your county.
The members of this Home, its employees, their relatives and friends,

one here,•in honor of Wisconsin's soldier dead. This will include Civil, Spanish-
American, Indian, Mexican Border, World and all other wars, also the wives and
mothers of same, interred here.
Beautiful in design and expression'of thought, representing an "Eternal
Light," height 24 feet and erected at the highest elevation in our cemetery, it
will be visible both day and night for miles in every direction. It is to be
built of beautiful native stone of many colors, found here in our own Waupaca
county. Its cost is limited to $1,200,.of which 0615.00 has already been contri-
buted by our people here. Every county is represented in our cemetery records and
the.memorial inscription will indicate our tribute to be that of the entire state.
Actual construction is about to begin, and we sincerely trust you will
take an active interest in our cause. Your voluntary contribution, no matter how
small, in the name of your county, will give us the opportunity of gratefully remem-

To the Honorable Board of Supervisors of Bayfield County
Gentlemen:
In past years it has been customary for the Supervisor of Assessments
to appear before your Board to give a short courtesy talk to its members. Since
the reorganization of our Department giving each of the Supervisors many times
more area to cover, it has become very hard to extend ourselves to follow this
custom. A certain part of our work is legally required under Section 73.05 and
73.06. These provisions of the law have been followed and carried out in -full.
Our report of property valuations is in your hands in printed form as legally
required together with our reports on the Assessors work in detail outlined in it.
Most Counties are in session only a few days and with 25 Counties under
my supervision you can readily understand my problem of trying to meet with all
of you. In some Counties I may appear and in all Counties I -am at your service to
the extent that I am physically able to provide for your needs on County equalizations.
I have given you the best that I could in this work. Whether it meets with
your approval depends entirely upon you. We stand ready to assist you at any time.
Respectfully yours,
WM. F. ROHLF
Moved by. Unseth and seconded by Meyer to accept the excuse for absence
of the Supervisor of Assessments and to place same on file. Motion carried.

November 7, 1941
We, the sheriff's committee of Bayfield County, have examined the records
of Judge Savage of Iron River, Wi-sconsin, and find that his records are correct
and that he has turned over to the County Treasurer $567.39 in fines.
We also ,checked Judge Hart's records and find them correct. We found he
had collected and turned over to the County Treasurer $1789.00.
We also checked the sheriff's records and find that his expenses for the
first ten months of 1941 amount to $4739.30 leaving_a balance of the $6100.00 levy
of $1360.70 for the months of November and December expenses.
We recommend that the sheriff's levy for 1942 be raised to 06500.00 so as
to be able to take care of any emergency that may arise, and also to comply with
federal government demands.

We also recommend that an outlay of $500.00 be raised for a trade in toward

and place on file. Motion carried.

UNITED STATES DEPART=T OF AGRICULTURE
U.S.D.A. Defense Board
Oxford Building, 14 E. Dayton St.
Madison, Wisconsin
To the Honorable Members
of the Bayfield County Board .of .Supervisors
Gentlemen:
November 8, 1941
The County Boards of Supervisors of the State of Wisconsin represent a
very important part of our American type of government, and have contributed to a
large extent to the perpetuation of our way of life. American people are being called
upon at this time to contributewhat they cari, as individuals and groups, to the
greatest defense program that has ever been conceived by this nation.
The United States Department of Agriculture, through its State and County ,
USDA Defense Boards, composed of representatives of the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration, Extension Service,'Farm Security Administration, Soil Conservation
Service, Forest Service, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Rural Electrification
Administration, Farm Credit Administration, Agricultural Marketing Service and
Surplus Marketing Administration, has-been called upon by Claude R. Wickard, Secre-
tary of Agriculture, to carry out and be responsible for the important job of produc-
tion of ''Food for Freedom".
History has'shown that one of the most important factors in any defense
program has been that of food.- In order to maintain the health of the civilian
population who are working at top speed, to maintain the health and morale of our
armed forces and to assist the nations that are resisting aggression to the fullest
extent, we must be certain that everyone has plenty to eat. Food is just as important
in meeting an emergency as are tanks, planes or guns.
Wisconsin farmers have a tremendous responsibility in the defense program.
Their job will be to produce the milk, eggs and pork products that are so necessary
in a proper diet. Considerable effort will be required to attain the goals that have
been established for these products for 1942. Farmers of the State of Wisconsin have
never failed in any emergency; I am confident that they will not fail now.
By meeting the goals set, at prices established at a parity level for those
products, the
farmers
of the State of
Wisconsin will increase their
income in 1942
approximately
seventy
million dollars
over their income for 1941.
This increase of
income will be realized by all counties in the state, in proportion to the extent by
which their county production goals are attained.
It is interesting to compare the situation in which Agriculture finds itself
today with the conditions during the previous �forld War. Farmers throughout this
nation, through their national Triple -A farm program, have developed an organization
that reaches into every county and township in the United States. As a result of
this co-operative movement they are in a position to carry out in a speedy and effi-
cient manner Agriculture's part in any program that will be necessary for the defense
of the United States. In the previous World War no such action was possible due to
353.
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
November 11, 1941
the,lack of this kind of organization.
In establishing the production goals for 1942, the interests of the
consumer have been given serious consideration. It is felt that if these goals
are reached, the consumers of this state and of the nation will be assured of a
plentiful supply of essential vitamin bearing foods-. These foods ' will be furnished
at prices that are fair and reasonable to both the consuming public and the farmer.
If the goals are attained, the rationing of food products will not be necessary
during this emergency.
The success of the 'Food for Freedomtr drive that affects not only
farmers but consumers and business people as well, will depend to a large extent
upon the cooperation and support of people who are concerned with the welfare
of the public, and are in a position such as you County Board members enjoy.
Your cooperation, as members of the County Board, 'in this "Food for
Freedom!* campaign is respectfully requested.
Very truly yours,
Walter F. Katterhenry, Chairman
USDA Defense Board for Wisconsin

Attention: Ludwig Tranmal, County Clerk
We acknowledge receipt of your letter of July 28 which we are accepting
as a "contrary election" with respect to the benefit payment provisions of Section
108.15.
As we pointed out in our earlier letter, your action as an officer of
your county merely reserves to your County Board the opportunity to make a contrary
election effective as of July 1, 1941. If you had taken no, action by July 31, the
benefit payment provisions of the law would have become applicable automatically as
of July 1 and a subsequent contrary election would only have been effective on its
date of filing.
As author of the contrary election, your County Clerk may withdraw it at
any time within 60 days and even if the contrary election is not withdrawn it may
be voided by failure of your Coui.ty Board to ratify it at its next meeting.
It will be unnecessary to hold any special meeting in this connection.

REPORT OF SPECIAL ROAD COINETTEE
RE: RELOCATION OF PART OF COUNTY
TRUNK HIGHWAY "E"
The undersigned Committee appointed to report on the resolution attached hereto,
begs to report as follows:
This resolution, if adopted, would remove three miles of County Trunk Highway
"Elf, from Ino South to what is known as "Butlers Corner", and would in lieu thereof
add 19.6 miles of town highway in the Towns of Delta and Iron River to the County
Trunk Highway System.
Your Committee met on Friday, August 29, 1941, and inspected this proposed
change, and finds that the three miles proposed to be abandoned have just,been recently
graded and drained by Bayfield County at a cost of approximately $12,000.00; and servos
about twenty farmers and.one Cheese Factory; and, in the opinion of this Committee,
should not be abandoned.
06
ANNUAL- MEETING OF` 3'HE `BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
November 11'. 1941
Your -Committee further finds -that --the 19.6 miles -of -,town highway, which
this 'resolution proposes to - add- to the County Trunk Highway System', is, in places
narrow, hilly and crooked; and would -,require large sums of County money to build
to present -county trunk standards-.
Your Committee further finds that this proposed highway does not meet
the requirements of the"CountyBoard as to the length of the highway; nor as to the
length of time that a part of this road has been a town highway, nor as to the
present condition of the road.
Your Committee further finds that the area served by --this highway is
largely a resort or tourist area, and is at the present time well served by National
Forest Highways within the National Forest area, which are built and maintained by
the National Forest Service'.
Your Committee agrees with the general policy established by many previous
committees that the County Trunk Highway System should remain -as it is until Bay -
field County is in better condition financially.
Therefore, your Committee begs to recommend that the proposed resolution
be laid on the table.

The following report was read by Mrs. Francis Ryan, Secretary of the Childrens
County Board:
BAYFIELD COUNTY CHILDREN'S BOARD
Secretary's Annual Report
1941
Mr. Chairman and members of the County Board:
The, Bayfield County Children's Board consists of five members: Mrs. Alpha
Radloff, Cable, Chairman; Mrs. Francis Ryan, Bayfield, Secretary; Mrs. Carl Christof-
ferson, Mashburn; Mr. S. E. Squires, Mason, and Mr. I. L. Alcott, Bayfield.
The Children's Board holds its regular meetings on the fourth Friday of
each month and is attended by its members, County Judge Axelberg, The District Attor-
ney, The Pension Director, Field Representative of the.Child Welfare Department, Case
Workers, The County Nurse, Superintendent of Schools, together with an advisory com-
mittee which consists of-, Mrs. A. C. Emerson, Iron River; Mrs. Eskil Swanson, Port
Wing; Mrs. M. P. Doyle, Washburn, and Mrs. John Sannes of Barksdale.
The,work of the Board has been carried on as usual, taking care of cases
as they are brought to our attention. The County Nurse, our County and City Superin-
tendent of Schools, the teachers in the various schools throughout the County, The
Town Chairman, The Department for Delinquents in the State, our Advisory Committee,
and various other reliable sources are most helpful in bringing to .our attention the
neglected and delinquent children, and all play a big part in helping us to carry on
our work.
The County is paying for twenty-eight children in twenty one foster homes.
These children are under the supervision of the Children's Board. Twenty eight
children may not seem a great many to be -cared for by the board, and no doubt it
would not require too much of our time and effort if our work ended here. Now after
�9
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
November 12, 1941
a careful investigation is made for. 'afoster home and -a permit granted by the State
- of Wisconsin, we' then place the -child -in -the foster home, shifting a great deal of
the worry and responsibility for these children from -our shoulders to those of the
foster parents, but believe us this is not all of the picture, the neglected and
delinquent child, who is still in his own home, offers a greater problem. To attempt -
to solve these problems adequately requires great patience, energy and much time.
We need not tell you, that, as a Board, we are often greatly handicapped by lack of
funds, while the County Board has met the financial needs of the Children's Board with
its appropriations for mileage, postage, etc., we do lack funds for emergency cases
which often come to us.
We wish to thank you, the County Board, for your kindness and co-operation
in helping us to carry on this very worth -while work.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Francis Ryan, Secretary

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND BUDGET COMMITTEE
TO THE HONORABLE COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
11 BAYFIELD COUNTY, WISCONSIN,
Gentlemen:
November 10, 1941
We submit the proposed budget'for the fiscal year beginning January 1, 1942,
and recommend its adoption.
For the first time since 1896 (and perhaps before that) Bayfield County does
-1 not have any indebtedness.. The last of the bonds having been retired April 1, 1941.
The cash on hand November 1, 1941 was less than a year ago.
The valuation of the County has been increased $170,465.00 over a year ago,
allowing an increase of $1,704.65 in County taxes.
PA
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD
November. 122 1941
One of the larger items showing increase was that of Sanatorium but is par-
tially offset by additional state.aid. Another large item is that of County Bridge Aid
due primarily to the rainstorm in'September.
This year's budget was prepared earlier -than usual and advertssed.in a sum-
mary form as required by the new budget law, Chapter 221, Laws of 1941. This makes it
more advisable than ever that all appropriations be included in the budget.
