Hughes Secretary September 30, 1954 SUBJECT: Federal Aid Secondary Highway Funds Federal- Aid _Highway Act of 1954 Under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1954, Federal Aid Secondary highway funds will be apportioned to Wisconsin in the amount of approximately �p5,205,000 annually for t.ae two years 1955-56 and 1956-57. The apportionment to wisconsin for the first year has been made. The Federal -aid Secondary funds available to Visoonsin under the Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1954 represent an increase of about 28 percent over the amounts available under the 1952 Act. At the request of the State Highway Commission, the Advisory Boards of the Wisconsin County Highway Commissioners and County Highway Committeemen's Associations bidt on September 24, 1954. After careful consideration and discussion they adopted a resolution recommending to the State Highway -Commission that the method of distribution and administration of the Federal -Aid Secondary funds available under the Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1954 be approximately the same as that used in the past, but with some clarification as to details, with the established period of availability to the counties reduced 'by one year, and providing that at the end of the established period of availability the Federal -Aid Secondary funds reverting to the State Highway Commission will be used or allotted by and at the discretion of the Commission in any part of the state, not only for the imporvement of the State Trunk Highway System, but may also be allotted to and matched by a county which is in need of additional Federal -aid Secondary funds for the improvement of'a county trunk or local road or street. The State Highway Commission accepted the recommendations of the County: Highway Advisory Committee and accordingly adopted the method of d istribution'and administration of the Federal -aid 'Secondary funds available to Wiscorisin under the Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1954, as set f orth'in the accompanying statement. The 1954 act Federal -aid SecondarY funds apportioned to your county are as follows: County Annual Apportionment Total.?.

The funds will remain available for such purposes until December 31, 19516. On December 31, 1956, any portion of this 2-year apportionment which has not been matched by your county and used on projects -which have been advanced to the contract stage, or have not been transferred to a state trunk highway improvement with the approval of the State- Highway Commission, will revert to the Commission to be used in other parts of the- state-. In considering the utilization of the Federal -aid Secondary funds -on county trunks - or local reads and streets, due consideration should be given to qualifying improvements on the Federal -aid Secondary System in cities and villages under 5,000 population and to desirable extensions of rural improvements into such.munic.ipalities. It nee.d. not be construed that.. the... t.wo.-yearapportionment of Federal -aid Secondary funds must be spread over a two-year period. Within certain limits, which can be determined only after the total program of all counties is known, up to a total of a county's two-year apportionment may be used in -one year. Requests for the programming of projects using 1954 act funds, hereby apportioned may be f it ed at one e. Several counties have balances remaining of the Federalaid Secondary funds apportioned' to them from the 1952 act. As stated in the Commission's letter to County Highway Commissioners dated September 17, 1952, any such balances from the 1952 act (funds will remain available to the county to be placed under contract by December 31, 1955 (January 1, 1956). Up to December 31, 1955, any such balances from the 1952 act funds may be combined and used on a project with part of the 1954 act funds. The Commissions District Engineer and the District Engineer of Secondary roads will discuss with your County Highway Committee your potential Federal -aid Secondary Program, and your county,, through your County Highway Committee, is requested to work with them in developing a proposed program of improvements on the Federal -aid SecondarcY. System to utilize the funds apportioned to your county. For projects on county trunks or local roads or streets, program requests by your ,County Highway Committee should be submitted through the District Engineerts office. Such program requests will be subject to review by the Commission. In case it is desired that part or.all of the Federal -aid Secondary funds be used on certain improvements on the State Trunk Highway System in your county, such".re-quest by your County Highway Committee should be filed with the District Engineer, who will forward such request, with his recommendation, for the consideration of the Commission.

Presented by, �W. C. Rarninram ----------- - - --------- - --- - ---- -November--10,1-954-- : November 4, 1954 Mr. Ludwig-Tranmal County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. %ranmal: At a recent meeting -of the Finance Committee the question arose as to the power of the County Board to appropriate money for the bulldozing of neglected and abandoned orchards in the county in order to control and eradicate certain diseases adversely affecting fruit trees in the county. I believe Section 59.07(17) would be sufficient authority for the County Board to make such.an appropriation if it felt it was in the public interest generally to do so. It would be understood, I suppose, that if such an appropriation were to be made, and if diseased fruit trees on private property were to'be cut down or eradicated as a part of the program, that it would be necessary to get the permission of the owner to go on the private property to do the necessary work, unless the State Department of Agriculture were to send some of their representatives in to work with the county and exercise the authority vested in the Department under Section 94.57 of the Statutes. That section gives the State Department the authority to notify persons having dieeased trees in an orchard to destroy such trees or do whatever is necessary to control the infestation; otherwise the department may'send its inspectors in who may proceed to treat or destroy the infested plants or plant material. proceeding under Section 94.57 by the state inspectors would not require the permission of the owner; Whereas the same action by a representative of.the County Board acting alone would require such permission. I give you this opinion so that the Finance Committee and the County Board may, have the benefit thereof in case they consider the matter of making an appropriation for that purpose.

The following report was read: To the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: The Welfare Committee wishes to make�the following report to the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors covering the activities of the Committee for the year 1954. Your Welfare Committee has met with the Director on several occasions and has kept in close touch with the administrati:on,of the Welfare Department. The Director has discussed the various instances when relative responsibility has been .enforced with the Committee both before and after action was taken in these cases. In June, the Committee attended a hearing of the Interim Committee of the State Legislature at Ladysmith. This hearing was held relative to the revision of the statute covering child protection. After seeing publicity to the effect that the government had passed an amendment to the Burton -Wheeler Bill making available aid f or the construction of nursing homes, your Committee in July called on Mr. Otis of the State Bureau of Hospital and Related Services. The Committee was informed by Mr. Otis that money would not be available until sometime in 1955 and -that when available the aid would represent 45 per cent of the construction costs as a direct grant from the federal government. It was Mr. Otis's opinion that Bayfield County would be eligible for funds the first year that such funds are made available which, as stated above, should be in 1955. This Committee raised the question of whether or not there would be a possibility of the Pureair Sanatorium being made available as ,a home for the aged because of the great decrease in the population of all tubercular sanatoriums thra.out the state. This matter was brought to the attention of the County Board Chairman, the Finance 6 : -- - Novem er - -- --, - - 54- - - - - - -- - Committee, and the Welfare Departments of Ashland and Iron Counties. The report received by the County Board members in October was prepared and issued with the consent and knowledge -d the Welfare Committee. Your Welfare Committee feels that there was much regarding the operation of the Welfare Department that was not familiar to the Board Members. The Committee realizes that the salaries paid in the Welfare Department in Bayfield County are much lower than those paid throughout the state and that an adjustment is due in the salaries, and your Committee is sponsoring a resolut-i-on to correct this situation. Your Committee feels that if clue consideration is given this request by the County Board, the -Board members will realize the reasonableness and necessity of the request. Respectfully submitted, IIarry C. Anderson Stance Burlager BAYF IELD COUNTY PUBLIC WELFARE COMMITTEE Moved by Tribovich and seconded by Stuart to receive the foregoing report and place on file.

The following report was read: PROPOSED BUDGET For the Year 1955 To the Honorable Bayf ield County Board of Supervisors: Gentlemen: We the undersigned committee on Finance, Budget and Equalization, herewith &d.bmit :I our report and recommendations for 1955. VALUATION The recommended -equalized value of the County for 1954 is- $24;980;575.00. This is an increase over last year of $232,015.00 even though neat cattle had an approximate crop of 20% of $328,435.00. AUDIT The audit of 1953 is completed and Mr. Wickman met with the Committee and explained his work and the report in detail. He is to be commended for the fine report: We recommend the acceptance of his proposal for the audit of the 1954 records and this amount is included in the budget. PLAT BOOKS They are now in the process of printing and we expect they will be ready by the end of the year. in accordance with instructions of the Oounty Board your Committee set a price .of 43.00 per copy-. We recommend that each taxing district receive t.ao copies free of charge and each Oounty Officer interested receive'a free copy. SANATORIUM 'The budget for maintenance is lower than last year. However the joint meeting of the 3 Counties are recommending the addition'to the kitchen at the Superintendents residence. The request for additional bed room space has been dropped from the plans. Our share of the kitchen construction is included in the budget. SALARIES & WAGES A number of requests have been received for increases. Ve are not recommending a general increase, but feel that a few adjustments are in order as follows: Lounty Nurse should be placed on an equal pay basis with other %ounties of like population and valuation, increase from §3360.00 to $3600.00 per year. County Superintendent of Schools on account of present salaries in Educational field and he now has a Masters Degree in Education, an increase from �4220.00 to $4600.00 per year. The Clerk of the County Court who is also court Reporter and Register in Probate, because of ability to take w urt reporting and increased work on account of consolidation of courts, an increase of 410.00 per month. 'The increase of 0100.00 a year in salary to the county Agricultural Agent on recommendation of his committee. All of the foregoing have been provided for in the budget and the effective date should be January 1, 1955. No action has been taken on other requests. HIGMVAYS The only item placed in the budget for this purpose is that of County Bridge Aid which amounts to §11,830.81. The Highway Committee and Commissioner are submitting separate reports. Should the County Board see fit to add additional mileage to the Oounty Drunk highway System it will be necessary to arrange for financing same. WELFARE The Welfare (committee and Director are submitting a detailed report covering this department. it is to be noted that there is a drop in requests for funds for O.A.A. November 11. 1954 and A.li.C. because of increased Social Security payments and a stricter enforcement of the relative responsibility law. We call your attention -to the fact that the Tri-County Sanatorium is being operated with an average of about 45 patients, but has a capacity of 65. This increases the weekly per capita costs. indications are that the load.will continue'to decrease. A study is being made at present as to the feasibility -of- uti-lizing-the empty beds for other than I.B. cases. it may be necessary to get enabling legislation. This study and determination should be made before starting any major construction project. FINANCES.- GENERAL A member of Series 'IF" bonds will mature in May and September of 1955. , We recommend.that the Finance Committee be authorized to re -invest these funds should it be found that they are not needed for current operation. Since preparing the budget, we have received information that the Lakehead Pipe Line Vompany will pay into the Uounty'Treasury the sum of 48141.15 in December of this year as a utility -tax. Perhaps a reasonable sum should be included for this item -as a receipt for 1955. The amount is unpredictable as it may come under the new tax law as.a rapid write Off item. Several items have been left out and have been submitted to the District Attorney for.legal interpretation.
