ADJOURNED ANNUAL ORGANIZATION MEETING OF THE'BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD May 11, 1943 The following petition and resolution were read: To The Members of the Board of Supervisors for the County of Bayfield: Sirs: Your petitioner is, by virtue of the last will of the late Joseph Spitzer, said will having been admitted to probate on the 12th day of September, 1911, the owner of an undivided one -quarter interest in the premises described as lots fourteen (14) and fifteen (15) in block thirty-eight (38) or the original townsite of Washburn, Bayfield County, Wisconsin, the remaining three-quarters interest being vested in your petitioner's two brothers and sister, to wit, Henry 0. Stuhlman, John B. Spitzer and Mary Gorvin, which interest in each case became absolute upon the demise of their mother, Anna Spitzer, the said Anna Spitzer having had a life interest in said premises by virtue of the aforesaid will, and having died on the 25th day of January, 1942. Because of the lapse of time from said 12th day of September, 1911, your petitioner and his said brothers and sister, had forgotten, if they ever knew, that their title.was an absolute title subject only to the life interestof the said Anna Spitzer, their mother, now deceased. The said Anna Spitzer was the recipient of Old Age Assistance for several years prior to her demise and shortly thereafter, upon the request of the - then District Attorney for Bayfield County, your petitioner and his brothers and sisters executed quit -claim deeds conveying that which they assumed to be an interest of no value to Bayfield County in the said premises, inasmuch as said premises were appraised at a value far less than the amount of the lien created by the grant of Old Age Assistance. The said deeds were executed as a matter of co- operation and a desire to save further costs for the Public Welfare Department of Bayfield County in acquiring title to the premises. It was not discovered that the premises concerned were not subject to the lien for Old Age Assistance until a few weeks ago and many months after your petitioner and other heirs had conveyed what they believed to be a technical title of no value. h Your petitioner, therefore, prays an order from this Board to the County Clerk for Bayfield County directing that officer to issue, after execution, a quit -claim deed from Bayfield County on the said premises to your petitioner, Frank J. Stuhlman, John B; Spitzer, Mary Gorvin and Henry 0. Stuhlman. Dated this 5th day of May, 1943. Frank J.

The following petition was read: 400 West Madison Street Chicago, Illinois August 30, 1943 Bayfield County, Wisconsin Tax Deed Notice - Taxes of 1937, Sale of 1938 Board of Supervisors Bayfield County Washburn; Wisconsin Gentlemen: In checking over the advertised list of "Tax Deed Notices" for Bayfield County, Wisconsin, covering delinquent 1937 taxes, sale of 1938, the following descriptions .1 were found: , r Township 45.North, Range 6 West �c1 SE NE Sec. 19 . . . . $ 10.24 NE SW Sec. 19 . . . . 8.21 Vie, City of Bayfield Lot 1, Block 133 1.53 We wrote to the County Treasurer informing him that this Company owns and operates on a right-of-way 100 ft. wide running through the first two descriptions, and on the greater portion of Lot 1, Block 133, and requested that his records be corrected to exclude said right-of-way from said descriptions so that any tax deed issued would not cover our property. By letter of August 28, 1943, Mr. J. 0. Bodin, the County Treasurer, wrote to us as follows: "A tax deed was taken by Bayfield County on the SE NE of Sec. 19-45-6 on June 8, 1943, on the sale of 1937; a tax deed was also taken on the NE SW of Sec. 19-45-6 on June 14, 1941, on the sale of 1935, and on Lot 1, Block 133, City of Bayfield, on July 15, 1940, on the sale of 1935. No tax deed will be taken on these descriptions on the sale of 1938.- "If you wish, you may make application to the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors to have the tax deeds cancelled as not to impair your title on the above named descriptions." In accordance with Mr. Bodin's suggestion, we are hereby making application to your honorable Board to cancel the tag: deeds in question in view of the fact that our right-of-way is not excluded therefrom. This Company's right-of-way is, as you undoubtedly know, assessed and taxed by the State Tax Commission and, therefore, not subject to local assessment. It should not, therefore, be included in any locally assessed parcels of land advertised as delinquent on account of unpaid taxes. We shall greatly appreciate it if you will be kind enough to cancel these tax deeds as suggested by Mr. Bodin, so that our title ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD_ November 10. 1943 to said right- of=way will not be impaired thereby. 11r'hen this matter has been acted upon by your Board, will you kindly inform us the action taken on our request.

The following petition and opinion of the District Attorney were read: November 4, 1943 To the Committee on Illegal Taxes Bayfield County Board of Supervisors Gentlemen: I have recently purchased the residence, described as Lots 8, 9, and 10, in Block 10, Vaughn and Austrian's Addition to the City of Washburn, At the present time there are delinquent taxes chargeable to these premisesin the sum of $422.06, representing delinquencies for the years 1936, 1939, 1940, 1941, and 1942. Of this amount, the sum of $91.31 represents interest and penalties. The assessed valuation of these premises is $1350.00, which is far in excess of a fair valuation. I purchased this property several months ago for $1100.00, in- cluding the delinquency mentioned above, which price is indicative of its present value and, as well, taking into account the fact that real estate values in Washburn have increased greatly, indicative of the gross inequity of this valuation over prior years. Its fair sale value until 1943 was probably not more than $800.00. The residence is in great need of repair which I intend to accomplish as .■ ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD -- ---- - ---- ----- -- -- ---------------- November 10, 1943 5 V materials may become available.

Daniel J. Buckley Dan L. Robinsin Mr. Ludwig Tranmal County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Tranmal: November 4, 1943 ' The committee on Illegal Taxes has requested my opinion relative to the petition of Ernest Bellile for a compromise of the taxes on Lots eight (8), Nine (9), and ten (10), in Block ten (10) Vaughn and Austrian's Addition to the City of Mashburn. I do not believe that the County Board has any authority to compromise taxes regularly assessed and levied. Section 75.60 formerly permitted the compromise of illegal taxes but even under that Section, which, incidentally, was repealed in 1939 it had been held that an excessive tax was not an illegal tax (22 Attorney General's Opinion 303). Accordingly, I am obliged to advise that in my opinion the County Board has no alternative but to deny the petition for the compromise. Respectfully yours, ;falter Norlin WTN/crg Moved by MacRae and seconded by Earl Johnson to refer the foregoing petition for compromise of taxes to the City Council of Mashburn. Motion carried.

In addition to its duties in connection with a public works pro- gram for the state, the committee is specifically charged with the duty to "prepare and maintain current progress information with respect to public works projects of the political subdivisions of this state and of public agencies which such political subdivisions are authorized by law to assist." Various governing bodies of the state's political subdivisions (counties; cities, villages and towns) are now considering and preparing plans and specifications for needed construction, remodeling and repair of public buildings and other public works coming under their supervision so that if serious unemployment conditions arise in their communities after the close of the war, they will be ready with a program of useful and needed public works. If the governing body of which you are members has already prepared such a program, will you kindly fill out the enclosed questionnaire and return it now in the enclosed envelope addressed to the Legislative Interim Committee on Postwar Planning, in care of the State Planning Board, 300 State Office Building, Madison, Wisconsin. Keep one copy. If you prepare such a program within the next two months, will you fill out the enclosed questionaire and return it by January 1, 1944, so that the committee can it include it with the report/will make to the legislature which will convene on January 12, 1944. In carrying out its duties, the committee is trying hard to render a useful ser- vice. You will aid materially if you prepare and mail the.report as requested. Yours very truly, LEGISLATIVE INTERIM COMMITTEE ON POSTWAR PLANNING Alfred R. Ludvigsen, Secretary Moved by Pristash and seconded.by Robinson to receive the foregoing communication planning and place on file and that each taxing district make out its own/program and report directly to the state.

The present municipal judge was re-elected in the spring of 1943, for a four-year term. A new county and juvenile judge was elected in the spring of 1943 for a six -year term, starting next January. Under these circumstances, it seems that an investigation into the feasibility of combining these courts is out of order at this time. It is the obvious will of the voters that the men elected should serve °their full terms. In view of the foregoing facts, we recommend that the investigation of this matter be postponed until the May, 1946, meeting of the board, when it can be considered again if the board then desires.. That will give time to plan a legal merger of the courts and adopt it at the November, 1946, meeting, if the board con- siders such a consolidation advisable, so that the preparations for the merger will be completed before the next election for municipal judge in the spring of 1947.

The following communication was read: October 4,. 1943 Mr. Ludwig Tranmal County Clerk, Bayfield County Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Friend: There are some things we "just don't talk about." But here is one problem that cannot be ignored ... and we're putting it squarely up to you. With the passing of each day, the number of unmarried mothers increases in Wisconsin. Hundreds of unfortunate girls and their innocent babies have literally no one to help them at a time when they need help desperately. That is ... they have no one tO help them but the Salvation Army. For the Salvation Army maintains the MARTHA WkSHINGTON HO1KE AND MATERNITY HOSPITAL at 6304 Cedar Street, Wauwatosa (Milwaukee) 13, Wis. Here is a haven of hope offering sympathetic, Christian care to unmarried mothers and their infants from all parts of the state. This home and hospital depends upon your financial support. If disposed, your County Board of Supervisors can grant an appropriation to this attested and en- ANNUAL MEETING OF THE_BAYFIELD_ COUNTY BOARD ------ ---_ _ - - — --- November 10, -1943-- - — - _------ — --—_ ---- —_— — dorsed institution. Your dollars can solve the social problem confronting these women and babies. And contributions must be made now if this work is to be carried on. Enclosed please find addressed and stamped envelope for reply, also folder on the Army's part in the war. More than ever before, financial aid is needed today. We urge you to apprise your County Board members of this appeal at their next meeting. The actual fate of these unmarried mothers and babies depends on your generous decision. Can we count on your assistance in this merciful cause? WHP:DK Enc. Yours to Help Humanity, Wm. H. Fox Lt.-Colonel, Divisional Commander Moved by Liebman and seconded by H. 1. S.

If such programs are to be set up by counties, and provision for them has not already been made, provision should be made at the November, 1943, session of the County Board. If the Board does not already have a Committee charged with this duty, it will be well to set one up. The County Park Commission, provided by Section 27.02 of the Statutes, or the County Rural Planning Committee, under Section 27.015, seem to have all of the necessary powers; but it may be desirable to give them specific instructions if the County Board desires to set up a program. Or, if the County Board desires, it may direct some standing committee to proceed, or it may set up a new committee. The procedure involved in planning a postwar program is essentially as follows: 1. List the necessary or desirable projects and estimate their costs. 2. Decide the order of construction. 3. Estimate the funds that will be available for construction over a period of years. 4. Correlate the estimated- cost of work to be done with the funds estimated to become available. 5. Prepare working plans, (or "bluprints") for the first projects to be built, and provide for financing them. There will be some cutting and trying in the process, but it can be done. The Board will decide its program, but there are certain procedures which will be useful in setting it up, in which the Planning Board can help if desired. I Airports are a subject of special interest. Under Chapter 269, Laws of 1943, the Planning Board is made the state .agency to assist local governing bodies in matters relating to airports. The service rendered is set out in detail in the leaflet entitled "Airports for Wisconsin" of which copy is enclosed. Some counties have availed themselves of the service. If yours desires it, please advise; and it will be rendered as promptly as possible. Respectfully submitted, WISCONSIN STATE PLANNING BOARD M. 7T. Torkelson, Director of Regional Planning Moved by H. J. S. Hanson and seconded by Bloom to receive the foregoing communi- cation and place on file. Motion carried. The following communication was read: Bayfield County Board of Supervisors November 4, 1943 Washburn, Wisconsin Gentlemen: Re: SE SE Sec. 36-47-9 54 ANNUAL MEETING OF T_H_E_B_AYFIEL_D_ COUNTY BOARD --- nTnTramhPr 1 0 - 1 94?, — - - — "- �` { Under date of September 9, 1941, a letter was mailed to you in which a check was 1 enclosed in the amount of $80.00 for the purchase of the above described forty acres. I have also called regarding this land and wonder just what can be done in order to secure the same. I am most anxious to acquire this property as it joins my property and I would like to keep a wooded section and also have it for a garden space. This land was, at the time I contacted you, under the State Forest Crop Law and at that time it was my impression that it should be withdrawn from the same. Will you please let me hear from you in regard to the above? Yours very truly, Albert Stockman 3401 Vernon Street Duluth, Minnesota Moved by Wallin and seconded by Liebman to re -refer the foregoing matter to the Forestry Committee with power to act. Motion carried. Moved by MacRae and duly seconded to adjourn as a County Board and to meet as a committee of the whole for the purpose of conducting a hearing on the proposed budget for 1944. Meeting called to order by Mr. Squires, acting as chairman of the committee as a whole. Andrew Gidlof appeared before the committee with regard to the budget item for the Sheriff's office. He discussed the cost of operating the Sheriff's department in general. He was not sworn and no testimony was taken. There were no other appearances so the committee adjourned as a committee and was called to order again as a County Board. The following report was read: We, the Sheriff's Committee of Bayfield County Board, have examined the records of Judge P. J. Savage of Iron River and find that his records are correct and that he has turned over to the County Treasurer $236.03 in fines. We also checked Judge Hart's records and find them correct. He has turned over to the County Treasurer $1094.25 in fines. The Sheriff's records were examined and we find that his expenses for the first ten months of 1943 amount to $4,366.00, leaving a balance of the $6,800.00 levy of 2,434.00 for the months of November and December expenses. live recommend that the Sheriff's levy for 1944 be the same as last year, $6,600.00. Due to market and supply, we do not recommend any new car for next year. Our recommendation regarding salary increases for the Sheriff and Undersheriff is being supported by resolution.

She has a three year diploma and can qualify under that division of the schedule and since this is her first year of experience, naturally she will have to start on the bottom of the schedule. The state will reimburse the county to the extent of $1450 for Miss Gibbons, salary for the school year 1943-44, providing, of course, that she is employed in accordance with the statutes. The County Superintendent is empowered to hire a county supervising teacher, and the county board by law must fix the salary. Hence, it is quite apparent that the salary must receive county board approval. Kindly note that the county board must pay a salary equal to the schedule set up by the state superintendent. The county board may, at its discretion, set a higher salary than the state schedule calls for. However, the state will reimburse the county in accordance with the state schedule.

The Board directed that its Chairman be a member of the Special Committee. The Chairman in turn appointed Erick Sande and D. S. Knight as the other members. Each of us has made some personal investigations and have exchanged views and our findings with one another at a meeting held November 5, 1943. At the present time, there are approvimately 1500 from Bayfield County in the Armed Forces. It is impossible to predict with any degree of accuracy when they will be returned to civilian life. We do not feel qualified without being able to discuss with some of them personally what type or size of building will be suitable for their needs. We feel that they should have the right to make recommendations and determine what they will want themselves. In view of the foregoing information, it is very apparent that it is premature at this time to make any definite recommendation. Ile therefore recommend that no action be taken at this time.

As is, $1,000.00, Payable as desired by the County. I realize this offer is perhaps low, but in view of the necessity of spending at least 10 to 12 thousand dollars to put it in shape for commercial use it is all I feel the building is worth in its present`condition. As soon as material is available I would start to remodel it, which would make a good taxable piece of property for the City of 10fashburn & Bayfield County, rather than the present load it is for the county now. I would purchase this only if the American Legion Post is willing to cancel the present lease they have on the building. Please consider this offer as ending January 1, 1944. Respectfully yours, H.

The following report was read: Proposed Budget for the Year ending December 31st, 1944 To the Honorable County Board of Supervisors Bayfield County, Wisconsin Gentlemen: We submit the following proposed budget for 1944 and recommend its adoption. Your committee'gave considerable study,'of the rapidly growing cash balances in the General Fund. These -balances are largely trust fund and must be invested so as to be readily available when needed. In addition to previous investments in bonds and purchases of -"excess tax delinquency" we again recommend an additional.purchase of excess delinquent taxes consisting of the 1938, 1939, 1940 & 1942 tax excess amounting to $43,354.80. Your committee feels that an investment in the excess delinquency is sound and profitable, yielding a return of 9.6% per annum. Following along this general policy, we are proposing under separate resolution that Bayfield County -become the sole purchaser ofall tax certificates. Your committee also gave much attention to the requests by various committees for salary increases in their departments as well as many other requests from individual officers and clerical - help. We recognize that the problem of salary adjustments must be met. The Finance Committee has tried to be fair in consider- ing these requests and'it maybe that the board will desire,to make other increases which the Committee did not feel warranted. However, we wish to point out that a large county with a small population and a small valuation is limited in its capacity to pay and therefore can not meet salary schedules of.wealthier counties or of defense and private industries. 'We have provided for all budget items and a balanced budget, which with the maximum levy of 1% will leave a balance of,$4,984.37 of'receipts over expenditures. We suggest that it seems advisable to levy a 1% county tax and include any unused balance in the contingency fund. 536 ANNUAL_1 EETINCT--OF_THE__BAYFIELD_ COUNTY BOARD ________ November 10, 1943 EXPENDITURES 1943 Recommended Adopted for Budget for 1944 1944 STATE TAX: Forestry Tax under Sec. 70.58 (2) (This item does not 2,609.88 2,679.03 2,679.03 effect the 1% County tax limit) GENERAL GOVERNMENT: County Board 3,000.00 2,700.00 2,700.00 County Clerk 43,600.00 5,300.00 5,300.00 County Treasurer 4,400.00 5,100.00 5,100.00 Assessment of Taxes 2,500.00 20500.00 2,500.00 District Attorney 3,000.00 3,000.00 3,000.00 Divorce Council 50.00 50.00 50.00 County Surveyor 5.00 5.00 5.00 County Court 3,600.00 4,400.00 3,600.00 Municipal Court 2,500.00 2,600.00 29600.00 Circuit Court 3,500.00 39500.,00 3,500.00 Juvenile Court 800.00 None 600.00 Coroner 250.00 250.00 250.00 Mediation Board None 300.00 300.00 Courthouse 3,850.00 3,700.00 3,700.00 Elections 600.00 2,500.00 22500.00 Special Accounting & Auditing 1,500.00 1,500.00 1,500.00 Property & Liability Ins. 300.00 250.00 250.00 State Deposit Insurance 200.00 200..00 200.00 34,655.00 37,855.00 37,855.00 PROTECTION OF PERSONS & PROPERTY: Sheriff 6,800.00 6,500.00 6,500.00 Register of Deeds 4,500.00 4,500.00 4,500.00 County's Share of Cost of Fighting Forest Fires 500.00 500.00 500.00 County Council of Defense 200.00 200.00 200.00 12,000.00 11,700.00 11,700.00 HEALTH, CONSERVATION & SANITATION: Vital Statistics 275.00 225.00 225.00 Tri-County Sanatorium 21,000.00 19,000.00 199000.00 Patients at State & Other County Sanatoria 1,564.23 1,162.04 1,162.04* Conservation Fund 21450.00 1,800.00 1,800.00 Forest Trespass Service 900.00 5 700.00 900.00 5,325.00 900.00 52325.00 Public Health Nurse $ 31,889.23 $.28,412.04 $ 28,412.04 EDUCATION: County Sup't. of Schools 4,400.00 2,100.00 41400.00 2,200.00 49400.00 2,200.00 Supervising Teacher Tuition Outside Trdning Schools 880.00 800.00. . 800.00 County Agricultural Agent 41800.00 20,062.19 5,165.00 19,504.77 5,165.00 19,774.77 Aid to Common Schools 32,242.19 32,069.77 32,339.77 CHARITIES & CORRECTIONS: Welfare Administration 12,000.00 13,900.00 13,900.00 Outdoor Poor Relief 3,000.00 7,200.00 2,500.00 7,500,00 29500.00 7,500.00 Blind Pensions Soldier's Relief 500.00 None None Veteran's Service Officer. in Outside Institutions 20800.00 9,778.43 4,000.00 10,495.34 4,000.00 10,49.5.34* Insane Jail & Sheriff's Residence 2,700.00 2,800.00 2,800.00 Industrial School for Boys 584.29 50,0.00 146.43 1,180.00 146.43* 1,280.00 Children's County Board Wis.
