there. I will give the sum of $100.00 for the N2 NE Section 21. We're taxpayers

been informed by old time deer hunters, who have been in this northern country for 40
years, and who know deer as well as a farmer knows his cows, that the large number

scarcity of food, but from improper feeding, and the removal of the timber for com-
mercial purposes, from and near the deer yards, which was their protection, and
furnished them their natural food,
THEREFORE, Be it Resolved, by the County Board of Bayfield County, Wisconsin,

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.

Tax Deed Notice - Taxes of

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.
Yours very truly,
R. A. Miller, Tax Commissioner

Moved by Robinson and seconded by Bloom to adopt the recommendations of the

The following resolution was read:
WHEREAS, The Bayfield County Board on May 11, 1943, did by resolution authorize
the acceptance of a Quit Claim deed from the Northern Pacific Railway Company
covering the North Half of the Southwest Quarter (N; S�ii4), Section Twenty-seven (27),
Township Forty-six (46) North of Range Nine (9), as this land was located in the
County Forest Unit, and
WHEREAS, there are delinquent taxes due on the aforesaid lands for the years of 1939,
1940, 1941 and 1942,
NOW THEREFORE, in view of the foregoing facts,
BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED that the County Treasurer be authorized and instructed to
cancel these taxes by receipt.

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

materials may become available.
At this time I am ready and willing -to pay the sum of $275.00 in full discharge
of the delinquencies and ask that this committee recommend to the County Board the
acceptance of my offer and to direct the treasurer to accept that sum in return
for a full receipt.
Respectfully yours,
Ernest Bellile

Nov. 4, 1943. District Attorney advises that petition should be directed to
City Council. County Board has no jurisdiction.

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

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.

To the Governing Bodies of the Political Subdivisions of Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
Chapter 417, Laws of 1943, created a "Legislative Interim Committee on Postwar
Planning" whose general duties it shall be to "make such surveys and studies and
compile such data, information and records as in its judgment will be beneficial and
useful in effecting readjustments from emergency and war conditions in this state to a
peacetime economy." 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,

The following report was read:
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY_ BOARD
November 10, 1943
TO THE HONORABLE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF BAYFIELD COUNTY
Gentlemen:
At the May, 1943, meeting of the board, the undersigned committee on sheriff's,
justices' and constables' bills was directed by resolution to work out a solution
whereby the dounty court, juvenile court and municipal court could be merged into
one court at the earliest opportunity.
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.

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-

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?

The following communication was read:
WISCONSIN STATE PLANNING BOARD
300 State Office Building
Madison, Wisconsin
November 3,'1943
To the County Clerk: You are respectfully requested to present the following to your
County Board of Supervisors:
Gentlemen:
The discussion of postwar public works programs, which has been under way more or
less for the past year, has become particularly active during the last month or two.
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

cation and place on file. Motion carried.

�` { 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,

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.

The following communication/was read:
October 5, 1943
Mr. Ludwig Tranmal, County Clerk
Bayfield County
rViscon sin
Dear Mr. Tranmal:
Charlotte Gibbons, County Supervising Teacher of Bayfield County, has been
placed on the first step of the three year schedule. 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

We, the undersigned Special Committee on a proposed new American Legion Building,
ANNUAL MEETING OF THE BAYFIELD COUNTY_ BOARD_
November 10, 1943
wish to report as follows:
Your Committee was appointed by -action of the County Board on May 12, 1943. 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.

Bayfield County Board
Sirs:
Washburn, Wisconsin
I hereby submit the following offer for the building on Bayfield Street in Mashburn,
occupied by the American Legion Post of Washburn.
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. A. Stubf ors
Moved by Liebman and seconded by Earl Johnson to refer the foregoing offer to
the Sales Committee of the County Board with power to act. Motion carried.

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.
