The following communication was read: TO'.'ALL C OUNTY CLERKS TO BE PRESENTED TO COUNTY BOARDS AT THEIR ANNUAL FALL MEETING Gnetlemen: The Wisconsin County Boards Association, working cooperatively with the department of State Audit, the office of the attorney general, and the Extension Division of the University of 'lisconsin, is proposing "to hold a three day institute for county treasurers -relating to the administrative procedures in that office. The dates picked for the Institute are Monday, Tuesday and 'Wednesday, January 31st, February 1st and 2nd. The Institute will be held at the Memorial Union at the University of Wisconsin, and housing will be arranged for the treasurers at the University inasmuch as this comes in between semesters. Our Association feels that this Institute will be, of great .benefit to county treasurers and recommends that every county consider adopting a resolution authorizing the expenses of their county treasurer to attend this institute. . During recent years special legislation has been passed relating to the taking of tax deeds, sale of county -owned lands, collection of special assessments, etc. One of the particularly new laws that many county treasurers will work under in the next few years is the optional law enacted in 1947 under which the action on delinquent tax matters is directed at the property rather than at the owner of the property. This method eliminates the notices now required to be given to the last owner of -record, the mortgagee of record and to the occupant, if any. It is a wide - sweeping change in the matter -of taking action in delinquent real estate tax matters, and a day and a -half of the Institute will be devoted to not only the law as it now stands in TnTisconsin, but experiences of counties in other states that have operated under this law.. We are sending this letter to all county clerks asking that they present it to the county boards so that axtion may be taken by the county boards authorizing the treasurer to attend this important Institute relative to the administrative procedures in -the treasurer's officO. Very -truly yours, TUISCOivSIN COUNTY BOARD \ASSGCIATIGN By: A. T.

Schools of BayJ. field County. The low .salary that is attached to that office at the it esent time acts as a severe handicap in inducing a qualified person to accept appointment to the office.

I am sure that the members of the County Board are familiar with the additional statutory duties of the County Superintendent of Schools. Section. 39.01 (2) of the statutes specifies the eligibility of the County Superintendent to be. as follows: 39.01 "COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT'OF SCHOOLS. (2) ELIGIBILITY. To be eligible to the office of ecunty superintendent of schools a person must be a resident of the cc nty, have taught 2 years in a rural public .school or in a graded elementary school in this 'state and after July 1, 1944, must hold an unlimited state certificate based on at least 4 years of accredited scholastic training beyond high school, entitling hire to teach in any public school; provided that this last requirement shall not disqualify any person who held the office of county superintendent on June 30, 1944."

I am -sure it will be remembered that it is the darkest hour of a girl's ls"f.e when this event is upon her, and her need of counsel, guidance, spiritual help and hospitalization is paramount.

The county .now holds tax certificates on these lands for the tax year 1944, 1945 and 1946.

Pajala Moved by Grubisic and seconded by Wachsmuth to accept the foregoing report and to adopt the recommendation of Illegal tax Committee. Carried. The following report was read:. PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1949 To the Honorable County Board of Supervisors Bayf i eld : County ---- Gentlemen: We submit the proposed budget for 1949 together with recommendations and comments as follows: The equalized Valuation of the county has been increased over last year- by approximately twenty per cent. This allows an additional amount of $27, 341.40 which can be levied under the one per cent limitation for county general tax purposes. The budget has not been balanced by the sum of $9,826.65 and it is expected to be placed in the budget next year so that the cQunty financial condition will not be jeopardized. There were several reasons for this. One of the major reasons was an item for county bridge aid amounting to 20,834.02'..--This was an accumulation of several years. The several towns were asked to withhold claims until flood relief money was released and definite amounts could be determined-. The several towns are to be commended for their patience and cooperation. Our share of Sanatorium costs is one of the large items of increase. During the last five year's our percentage of costs has been about 23%. However, we have used 25% as our base for budgeting due to our' increased patient load. This is lower than the last three months and is subject to.fluctuation. For a general picture of Sanatorium costs we refer you to page 7 of the November issue of Wisconsin County Boards Association magazine. This shows that Pureair is operating for approximately u4.10 per patient week less than the state average. V'te also call your attention to the increase of $1800.00 in State aid for Sanatorium under revenues. Another -large item is that of welfare aids. This too is due to increased living costs over which we have no control. The federal aid for Old Age Assistance has been increased and is re:lected in our budget. It will also affect the charge back°to the taxing districts proportionately. i 2B6 November 10, 1948 The increase in salaries granted by the County Board last April was taken into consideration and are included in this budget. We recommend the adoption of several resolutions which are being introduced - separately as foll ms: Salary of County Superintendent of Schools Supervising Teacher Resolution pertaining to physicians fees Resolution to carry over dam fund Resolution for 2 mill•levy covering county highway program Resolution by Fair Committee Resolution regarding audit of 1948 records Resolution of equalized valuations Original budget requests exceeded our anticipated income by approximately $27,000.00 and we found it necessary to make a number of reductions. Said reductions were made with- due. regard to necessity. Such items that were not considered urgent yvere dropped and may come up for consideration at a later date. Vile wish to. thank the several committees and ecanty officers for their cooperation. We wish to reiterate that any request for funds should as a matter of good policy be first referred to the Finance Committee for consideration.
