He was a member of the Bayfield County Company during the Spanish American War. At 'the beginning of world War I he helped organize Company D which was commanded by ,-H® H. Peavey and Lieut . R. W. Smith, and which was later known as the military Police',of the 32nd Division. He was cleric of the Town of Bayview for many years, and in later years represented his town as a member of this body.

His last committee assignment was acting as a member of the Finance Committee where he played an active part in the investment of over $100,000.00 of county monies in government bonds. He had a keen interest in the advancement of our forestry program as -he lived to see the great forests of this county give way to the woodsmans axe, and to see the ri3O and replacement of a luxuriant growth o:i new timber through the government program. He was present at the time when Dick Herring, Chairman of the County Board, planted the first tree on the barrens northwest of Washburn. He knew at that time that it would be many years before selective cutting would be merchantable timber. Now we can realize the fruits of their efforts.

Mr. Ludwig Tranmal Dear Mr. Tranmal: 802 Alw orth Building Duluth 2, mines ota September 2, 1952 In. accord with a conversation which our Mr. Trembath had with Mr. Tranmal and Mr. Curry, we would be willing to trade the SE NE Section 22, Township 50 'North, Range 6 West on which Mr. Curry desires the gravel for County use in return for the SWi of Section 15, Township 49 North, Range 9 West. We can give Warranty Deed to -the gravel pit forty and would accept the County's Quit Claim based on tax deed to the quarter section in Section 15. Our examination tends to show the S.N. of 15 was cut a couple of years ago but it is sprouting from the stumps and is the type of land we can use. Our report shows that the poplar on this quarter section is sprouts about two years old. Since this must have been county land when cut, very likely your records would confirm this. If this is satisfactory to the County Board, please advise and we will have our main office execute Warranty Deed to the gravel pit as described. very truly yours, CORNELZ. -PAPERBOARD PRODUCTS CO.

The following communication was read: September 15, 1952 Mr. Ludwig Tranmal Bayfield County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Tranmal: This is with reference to the application of Bayfield County for a grant of state funds to assist the county in meeting the costs of the social security aids. A hearing, was held in this connection at the Bayfield County Courthouse on Thursday, July 31. The report prepared by our accountant indicates that the general fund is in a sound position, although a good share of the liquid portion available for current financing is in United States government bonds. It was also painted out at the hearing that the countyts share of the social security aid costs will be reduced by approximately $2,000 per month after September 30 when additional federal funds will be available. Under the circumstances, we feel that it is unnecessary at this time to recommend a grant of state funds for Bayfield County. This does not, however, preclude the possibility of Bayfield County reapplying in case the financial situation changes and the county finds itself unable to raise the necessary funds to _meet its share of the social security aids.

As you know, I delayed signing the buck season order for some time in order to November-12,--1952-- - give the northern counties an apportunity to work out a plan for closed areas with conservation department representatives. As a result of these conferences, the department will close more than twice as much area this year as was closed during the.season last year, and most of those who attended the meeting in Hayward last Monday agreed that no purpose would be served by any further delay. In view of this feeling, I have signed the buck season order, since failure to sign it would mean another Puny -deer'? season this year. This is true because the buck season order rescinds the present regulations, which would have continued in effect this year had the buck season not been signed. Thank you again for sending this resolution. I appreciate having the views of the County Board on this controversial problem. With good wishes, Sincerely yours, Ivalter J.

You will remember that at the time of the recent budget meeting here that I did not have the figures on the comparable per capita cost for the various institutions in the State. I now have that information available. Out of nineteen institutions with a high of $72.98 per week and a low of $42.95 per week, Pureair with a weekly per capita cost of $45.62 stands fifteenth out of the nineteen. The average per capita cost:of all these institutions was $58.28, so you can see that our costs were running $12.66 per patient per week under the average of the others. If you want to give this information to the Ashland and Iron County Clerks f or use at the time of the budget meetings, feel perfectly free to do so. Very truly yours, L. W. Moody, M.D. LITM : me P.S. Out of the four institutions operating at less than Pureair one has a very small payroll,.because of the use of the Catholic Sisters for a large part of the work, and of course, they are not paid. This is River Pines at Stevens Point, which is operating at a per capita cost of'.$45:34. Tiro of the other institutions running at a cheaper cost have only part time medical directors. There is only one institution comparable to us with full time medical director running at a lower cost, and this is River view Sanatorium at Kaukauna, which -ran at $44.84 per week. I think that you can see that in comparison with other -institutions offering the, services which we offer that we have run at a very economical cost and are well toward the bottom in the per capita cost list.

Total 6. carried. 0 November 14, 1952 The f ollowing report was read: The; undersigned committee begs to report as follows: The town highway referred to in the lm, t it ion of the Town of Clover for County Aid in' the amount of 02260.00 runs northeasterly from Herbster along the shore of Lake Superior for approximately, one half mile to a connection with the present Bark Point Road in Section 4, T 50 N, Range 7 West. The road was built on a previous high water sand beach by hauling in about one foot of clay and gravel, which washed out completely in several places due to direct wave action caused by the recent high level of Lake Superior. The damage is unusual. The road could probably be rock rip rapped in its present location, or it could be relocated south away from the beach for approximately six or seven thousand dollars. There are only two part time residents or summer homes on this particular one-half mile of road and they have.access to other town roads. Most of the abutting property lying on the south side is unimproved land owned by the Town of Clover. There are about thirty one farms and homes on Bark Point which are now being served by the connecting Bark, Point Road south through Section 4 to S.T.H. #13. Other than its scenic value, the road is local in character, service and traffic. The 1952 assessed valuation of the Town of Clover is $497,415.00. At the annual 1951 and 1952 town meetings the Town of Clover did not levy the maximum taxes permitted by statute for town roads. The total miles of public highways in the Town of Clover is 71.06 miles. The gas tax aid received this year was $9,234.12. Section 83.03(1) of the Statutes under which the aid is requested by the Town of Clover reads as follows: "The County Board may construct or improve or repair or aid in constructing or improving or repairing any highway or bridge in the co untyt% The county has used this provision to make an appropriation only once before in the history of the county. In the application of the above very broad emergency powers granted'to the county board it would seem wise to safeguard the county by conforming to a fair and reasonable policy uniformly applied to all municipalities in the county. In view of the foregoing, and considering that this request, if granted, may establish'a precedent for other requests resulting in a heavy real estate tax burden upon all of the taxable property in the county, for certain town highways, the under- signed committee specifically recommends that the -following uniform policy be established in connection with such requests: That County Aid Appropriations, by property tax levy, under the provision of Section 83.03 (1) of the Statutes shall be considered by the County Board after the 'Town, City, or Village has Provided the maximum funds possible through local property tax levies and state aids. - If the County Board approves of the above recommendation the request of the Town of Clover should be denied.

A year ago we estimated our needs for that past year at $7,011.46 and this report explains to you that our expenditures total $6,911.06 leaving a balance on hand in our account of $100.40. We might have been able to show a larger balance on hand if our fixed charges such as rent, janitor service, electric and telephone service had not increased over the past year. A year ago I explained to you that two new men employees had been added to our working force which created an additional expenditure in equipment for their use, such as desks and a new calculator. Not wishing to burden our last years budget too heavily we put off the purchase of a second new calculator and some other office equipment and files until this year and you will note this item as part of our 1:953 budget. The payment of these costs is provided for under 73.07 of our Wisconsin Statutes, and Marathon County having acted as our purchasing and disbursing agent in the first place, should now be reimbursed for this service if your County has not already done so. Your county payment for this service should be sent to Miss Lucille Zielsdorf, County Clerk `of 1arathon County, Wausau, Wisconsin. A special effort should be given to this request. In the following pages of this report, we outline for this committee the comparisons of costs and expenditures. We outline for you a new anticipated budget for the year 1952-1'953; and on the last page of this report, we have drawn up for you a new county ratio indicating.on it your County's share of anticipated expenditures for the ensuing year.

The following budget report was read: PROPOSED BUDGET For the year 1953 To the Honorable Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: Gentlemen: 61 November 15, 1952 - -- -- rle, the undersigned committee on Finance, Budget and Equalization, herewith submit our report and recommendations for 1953. VALUATION The recommended equalized value of the County for 1952 is $24,154,305.00. This is anincrese of $1,076,275.00 over last year. The value as recommended will allow an increase of $10,762,75 county tax under the 1% limitation. AUDIT The audit for 1951 is completed and the auditor met with us and explained his work and scope of, audit. We were very appreciative of his time and effort and he is to be commended for the complete and 'thorough job done. He is submitting a proposal for the audit of the 1952 records -and we recommend that his proposal be accepted. Provision has been made for it in the budget: WELFARE The budget request for this department is larger than last year. One of the larger items of increase being that for Doctor, Hospital and Medical. However, State and Federal aids have increased more proportionately than costs and -as a result the item for this department to be placed on the tax roll wil be less than a year ago. The Chairman of the County Board was directed to appoint a special committee to work with the welfare committee to make a study of the possibilities of Bayfield County owning and operating its own nursing home. This was done and your committee decided that the only intelligent way to go about this was to engage the services of a registered architect to present the board with sketches and estimates. We employed Nr. Estenson, an architect from the Town of Hughes, and he will appear before the Board in person to present the matter in detail. lisle have made a study of the financing of such a project whi'th included; 1. Using available savings bonds now owned by the county which represents highway funds almost entirely. 2. Increased sale of stumpage from county lands. 3® Sale of Bonds® ;fie ,decided against the sale of savings bonds as they represent unused highway moneys which in reality is trust funds. j,Ile decided against a sale of timber on a large enough scale in one year to finance the nursing home, after conferring with our County Forestor, on the the available mature supply of timber: We recommend that in the event the County Board wishes to have a nursing home of its own that it be financed by a bond issue for that purpose. The annual. payments of principal and interest on bonds can be placed on the tax roll over and above the one legal per centTlimitat ion for county taxes. We recommend that the County Board,.as a whole, make an inspection of the two possibilities for a nursing home before taking definite action. COUNTY SCHOOL TAX This item is certified by the State Superintendent, of Public Instruction. It has been reduced3,06760 SALARIES AND WAGES This is °an annual problem especially in view of continuing inflation. Last year we gave considerable time and thought to this item and felt that everything was fairly well equalized. However, we are recommending a flat increase of $10.00 per month except in a few cases where we feel that an adjustment should be made. Our recommendations are - being submitted in the form of a resolution for your consideration and judgment; HIGMVAYS There is no recommendation being made for a two mill levy for this purpose. As a result of a joint meeting with the highway committee, it was the consensus of opinion that no additional mileage be made to the county trunk highway system at this time. The item for County Bridge Aid has been reduced $9,708.55 from last year, FINANCE - GENERAL Application was duly made to the State ?Welfare Department for emergency aid as directed by the County Board, They sent an auditor and after his report was completed, a hearing was held in August. After the hearing, we received a notice from the State that our application had been denied. They ruled that no emergency existed as long as we had savings bonds (highway money) and borrowing power. The amount of bonds and accummulated interest will amount to $132,721.10 as of January 1, 1953. Of this amount $21,647.10 is interest earned: Tile have included an item of $38,500.00 as taxable income for indebtedness which is over the limitation for general tax purposes and is a legal levy. This was due because we could not balance the budget last year and the same was true again this year. We urge interested members to study the audit report. It is interesting to note that the budget calls for an expenditure next year of $954,46% 61. To this should be added trust funds handled by the County. The total amount of money handled annually is more that 12 million and is headed for the 1a million mark: We call your attention to the steadily increasing income from sale of forest products. Barring set backs from forest fires, blight, infestations and storm damage, we can expect a continued increase in this item. We recommend that all resolutions calling for the expenditure of money be referred to the Finance Committee now and in the future. All reasonable requests for moneys have been included in the budget. We submit the following budget for 1953 for your consideration and recommend its adoption: EXPENDITURES 1952 Recommended GENERAL GOVERITMENT: Appropriation For 1953 County Board 4,500.00 4,600000 County Clerk 9,240.00 90820.00 County Treasurer 7,620.00- 89430.00 Assessment & Addre ssograph 1,850.00 2,500.00 District Attorney 42480.00 4,580.00 Divorce Counsel 250.00 200-00 County Surveyor 200.00 100.00 County Court 72220.00 6,590.00 Municipal Court 12360.00 L1410.00 - - -- - - - - - - - November--15;--19-5-2 - - -- --- -- -- - - - 1952 Recommended GENERAL GOVERNMENT (Cont'd.)
