Total 29 The following report was read: ANNUAL REPORT OF THE COUNTY HIG119AY COMMITTEE BAYFIELD COUNTY, WISCONSIN To the Honorable County Board of Supervisors Bayfield County, Wisconsin . Gentlemen: The county highway program has been retarded considerably this past season by adverse weather conditions, and other restrictions imposed by a shortage of certain types of materials, parts and equipment: Two jobs were not started this year, a few other jobs havetbeen finished and some that have been finished are not satisfactory°,. and will have to be reworked next year. At the same time the cost of road work has increased considerably. A financial report showing the financial condition of the highway department as of November first, 1951 is submitted separately. Bayfield County has for many years past carried on its highway work on a pay as -you go basis without going into debt through bond issues, advances or otherwise. Current bills are paid up to dated There are no outstanding obligations. Future allotments. of State Aid for road work in this county have,not been mortgaged nor advanced. Progress on U. S. 63 between Grandview and Drummond has continued to be very slow and unsatisfactory again this year. The various state contractors engaged insbuilding t road for the State have proceeded so slowly that the county's portion of the work which is the -bituminous surfacing could not be. properly finished this fall and is one of the jobs previously ?mentioned that will need t'o.be reworked again next year- The State has notified the county of its intention to continue with the construction of U.S: 63 from Drummond southerly toward Cable next year. Sand lift and gravel on S.T®H. 13 between Cornucopia and Herbster which was done under a state maintenance contract has also proceeded very slowly and the work is unsatisfactory and will probably require reworking again next year. Considerable flood damage has occurred in many placed on S.T.H. 13 several times this year, such as Boyd's Creek, Onion River, Pike's Creek, City of Bayfield, Sand River, Lost Creek and Flag River. The county has asked the State to prepare plans and estimates of the work required to relieve these constantly recurring flood damages. It is possible that some improvements may be made on S.T.H. 27 providing that the State can arrange for the exchange of Secondary Federal Aid funds waived by other counties for State construction funds on a dollar for dollar basis. Such a program is now being tentatively discussed in Douglas County and if it succeeds there will then be extended into Bayfield County. _s 504 I November 15, 1951 0 On the County'Trunk Highway System a great deal of work has been finished this year, some has been held over for next year, and a great deal still needs to -be done., A few jobs begun are unfinished at present® County Highway "All from Drummond to the Douglas County line, approximately 15 miles, has been reworked this season and the job turned out very good. Eight miles from Iron'River south on "At' needs the same treatment next year. The proposed blacktopping of "C" south from Cornucopia was not done this year, partly because of weather conditions and partly because the state under road west of Cornucopia was already/construction and impassable part of the year. Six OV miles of bituminous work east of Cable on t'D" and nine miles 8? Grandview were com- pleted and both jobs turned out very good.- Approximately eight miles remain to be improved on this road in the vicinity of Lake Namakagon: Six miles of t'E" from B'ibon east is finished and very- satisfactory. Five miles of ttFlf from Mason northwesterly toward Ino was damaged by wet westher at the time of construction and will probably need reworking next year. Three and one half miles of this road remains to be blacktopped. Some repairs to the present blacktop east of Benoit on "F't'are needed, The westher has interfered greatly with the grading, sand lift and graveling of the west six miles of the Moquah Road, known as County Trunk "G",and increased the cost considerably, however, it still may be possible -to finish the job so that it maybe blacktopped next year. Sand lift, gravel and blacktopping of 11H11'9 the Delta Road, was finished this year and turned out very well. Blacktopping of five miles of ►tJ" was only partly satisfactory and will need more work next year. One -and one-half miles of grading on this road was not started because of wet weather conditions. The same wet weather damaged the four miles of blacktopping on t'K". Considerable other improvements are needed and remain to be done on other portions of the County Highway System. The foregoing very brief outline merely indicates the size of the job and that the expense will run into many thousands of dollars: At the same time the Fed- eral Government has reduced by one-half the availability of Secondary Federal Aid Farm to Market Road money. The regular two fiscal years.allotment of Secondary Federal Aid available July 1, 1950 has now extended over four years 'to the 'end of the fiscal. year June 30, 1955. The large Bayfield County program carried on this past year has used up more than one half of the Federal Aid funds now becoming available for the next --four years. This forced reduction in the. amount of Federal Aid per year over which the county has no control does however affect the amount of money -that the county needs to provide for the 50% matching requirement° This 50% matching appropria- tion has in the past been made by the County Board in the form of a two mill levy. The matching appropriation needed to meet -this -reduced Federal program this coming year does not require a two mill levy and therefore it does not appear necessary or advis- able for the County Board to make such an appropriation this year. The budget this year therefore does not carry this item. It is very clear, of course, that this forced spreading of anticipated revenues over four years instead of two years will require some rearrangement of the County Highway -program, possibly the postponement for a year or two of some planned work; and it certainly leaves the county finances in no position to take over any new work or any new County roads. Eight county aid biidge petitions -have been filed, requiring a total county aid i bridge appropriation of $17,887.00. your county Highway Committee recommends their approval. 510 The usual resolutions required in connection with State Aid f or highway work in this county for the ensuing year will be separately presented to your board and the - undersigned County Highway Committee recommends their approval.

The following resolution was read: PROP-OSE'D-FOR THE :YEAR, 1952 ffo the.Honorable Hayfield -County Board of Supervisors: :Gentlemen: -. .ale, the undersigned, ,Committee -on Finance, Budget an:d .Equalization., herewith submit our report,and-recommendations for 1952. VALUATION .The recommended equalized value of the county for-1951 is 239078,030:00.. This is an increase of-02',049,935. over last -fear. Under the 1% limitation f.or county tax purposes this allows -an increased levy of S20,499.35 over a year ago. AUDIT Auditor. V7*E. ►llickman, C.P. A. , audited the 1950 county records as per instrub- tions,of the county hoard at the last annual meeting. His report is completed and he mas kind enough to spend considerable time with us in -examining and explain- ing the entire report. :It is very complete and well prepared. He is submitting a proposal to the county board for the audit of the 1051 records at an increase in cost of.085.00. :He also proposes to audit the 1952 fair books for 100.00. We recommend that his proposal be accepted and have in - eluded this item in the budget. COUI=TTY SCHOOL -TAX This item is certified by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and amo-rots to.�24,150.00. .Chapter 224, Laws of 1951 permits the County Boards to levy, for prior school years 1949-19;50'and 1950-1951 or either of them for payments to such districts that levied- 3 mills or more .but., less than 5 mills ,f.or elementary school:distrcts but —did -not qualify under the 1949 law. This affects 2 school districts in the county as follows: .Uo . 1 Barnes 1.949 -19:50 3-50.00 No. 1 ITamekagon 1950-1951 350,00 17e recommend the allourance of these two items and they are included in the budget under county school tax. IVELFARE The last session of the Legislature enacted Chapter-432 which makes it mandatory to include Old Age Assistance under the if limitation instead of charging it back on the unit system if we are to receive our just share of State Aid. It has therefor been included in the budget: In order to balance, it will: be necessary to apply for addition- al.aid of $18,208e00 from the emergency fund set up under Chapter 432. SALARIES AND TWAGES In compliance with instructions from the -county board -we -have studied the salaries and wages. We were guided to some extent by a salary and wage schedule prepared by the State Bureau of Personnel in August 1951. We used ten counties having an- average, pop- ulation and valuation on a comparable basis with ours in arriving at our recommendations which are supported by a resolution. HIGHHTAYS We concur with the .Highway Committee in recommending that no 2 mill levy be made f or highways this year and that no additional mileage be added to the county trunk sys The reasons for our recommendations area 1. Reduction of real and personal property taxes. 2. No additional federal./ad available at this time. OUTLAY The budget does not include a request for a two-way radio short wave equipment for the Sheriff's office and two cars. It is estimated this will cost approximately thirty- three to thirty-five hundred dollars, INSURANCE We recommend that the fire insurance and extended coverage on county structures and contents be placed with the State Insurance Fund as the cost is considerably less than with Stock companies. The budget items which include insurance premiums will have to be increased if this recommendation is not adopted: FINANGE The general cash c:ondiition of the county treasury is fairly good due to highway fund balances. It may, however, be necessary to make short loans from 30 to 90 days. Should this become necessary, it would be good business t o borrow rather than sell bonds in which event we will lose a years interest on bonds soldo EXPENDITURES 19.51 Recommended Appropriation For 1952 GENERAL GOVENMENT: County Board 4,000,00 4p500*OO County Clerk 8;0.00.00 9'240.00 County Treasurer 72000600 7,620.00 Assessment & Addressograph 3,500:00 13,850:00 District Attorney 42000.00 4,480.00 Divorce Counsel 200.00 250.00 County Surveyor 200.00 200.00 County Court 6,100®00 7,220600 Municipal Court 1,650iGO 1,360.00 rJ�z3 November 16. 1951 1951 Appropriation Recommended For 1952 Circuit Court 32650.00 4220000 Juvenile Court 1,0001i00 1,000:00 Coroner 200:00 200.00 court House 69065.00 6,800.00 Elections 1p600.00 3f600+00, Special Accounting & Auditing 12700.00 19885.00 Property & Liability Insurance 450.00 500,00 State Deposit Insurance 125.00 125.00 Total 49,440.00 55-9030.00 PROTECTION -'OF - PERSONS & PROPERTY: G e C/ Sheriff 99450-000 9,.900400 Register of Deeds 79210:00 8'490400 County Share of Fighting Forest Fires 500,00 500.00 County Forest Ranger 1,900000 29000.00 19,060.00 $20j890.00 , HEALTH, CONSERVATION & SANITATION: Vital Statistics 100.00 100.00 Tri-County Sanit-orium 31,096400 39,40040 Patients at State & Other C-o., ,Sanitoria 693.43* 826.95* Conservation Fund 3,600.00 42200400 Public Health Nurse 6,780,00 7j480*-00 42,269,43 52'006 05 EDUCATION: County Superintendent of - Schools 7,020.00 7,64040 Supervising Teacher 3'500.00 4,450.00 Tuition Outside Training Schools 2972040 2:000.00 County Agricultural Agent _ 7 450.00 9 8, 5.90.00 Aid to Common Schools 25, 200 40 24,85040 County School Committee 1,000600 700,00 46,890.00 48,$230.00 CH.1.RIT1E'S & C ORRECTIONS t Welfare Administration 219000.00 23-600.00 Outdoor Poor Relief 19200.00 1,200,00 Blind Pensions 8;500.00 10,200.00 Soldiers Relief 5000-00** 500.00** Veterans Service Officer 31560,= 4,140.00 Insane in Outside Institutions 12;v'2 9.2"9 142822:82* Tail ,& Sheriff t s Residence 49290.00 :'_ 43360.0.0 1 Industrial School For Girls 696.42* 301.43* Industrial School For Boys 240'.71* 70.00* A Childrents County Board 100,00 - 100.00 Wis.
