To The Bayfield County Board,
,, ashburn, Wisconsin
Honorable Members:
For the past ten years it has been my privilege to be a member of the
Bayfield County Board.
I can truthfully say that I enjoyed my tenurd of office. It not only
gained me an educational experience and a deeper understanding of many problems,
but it also gained me some loyal and appreciated friends.
I regret very much that conditions were such that I could not be a candidate
again this year, but I am confident my successor will merit your confidence.
The Bayfield County Board has earned a reputation as being one of the best
managed Counties in the State. It is my sincere hope that it will continue to
merit that reputation.
My reason for writing you is, first - To thank all the Board members who
served with me, for their co-operation and for their friendliness. Their vote
of confidence and trust in having elected me Chairman, will always remain a
pleasant memory.
And second, to wish this new 1947 Bayfield County Board, a successful
administration.
With kindest regards to each Board 1-dember, to all County Officers, and
Courthouse employees, I remain,
Respectfully yours,
Vic C. 71allin

County Court House,
Washburn, Wisconsin
Attention: Ludwig Tranmal, County Clerk
Gentlemen:
I would like to buy the SE4 of Section 28-44-9, which I am advised is under
the County Forest Crop Law. Should the board prefer to sell the entire
Section
instead of just the SE-1 I, am willing to purchase it, and would then buy
the
three forties which the county has for sale in Section 21, which is just
above
Section 28.
I was told that in order to be able to acquire this land that a majority
of the members of the board would have to agree that this land be sold,
and that
a letter should be written to the board asking for their favorable action.
>y`
There is a small lake in this tract which though I have-not seen it
myself,
I believe can be stocked with bass, and if I am allowed to acquire this
land`,`
I will build a small place on the lake. I have no intention to cut any
ti.niber
that might be on this land and then let it go tax title, it will be the
same when
I own it, as it is now, with the important exception that the County and
the
s,
town of Barnes will have a taxable piece of property where none -existed
before.
I am willing to pay for this tract on the basis ofa cruiser's estimate,
which
will insure my paying what it is worth, not more or less, as a chance price would
entail.
I have purchased a home on Upper Eau Claire Lake, and have bought some other
county land, and will be for the town of Barnes, a sizeable tax -payer. I believe
I will get, and that I am entitled to get, your favorable consideration based on
the facts as stated above.
Thanking you, I am

I, Walter G. Nordby, cashed an Old Age Assistance check #9510, dated
August 24, 1945, issued to Max Freestone for $35.00.
The Welfare Department re jeated the endorsement on the of oresaid check
and it was returned to me through the regular banking channels. I did not
get out in the country to have Mr. Freestone reindorse it immediately and V
in the meantime he passed away.
The 1,Velfare Department advises that they can not issue me a new check
without it being madeoQut to Max Freestone. The amount of the check is small
and it would not be worthwhile to go into CountyyCourt and have a special
administrator appointed which procedure is necessary according to the attached
letter from the State Welfare Department.
I am not out only the amount of groceries which I sold to Mr. Freestone
but also the balance up to the full amount of the check as I gave him cash
for the difference.
