The following petition was read: November 10, 1955 To Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: I hereby petition to purchase Gov. 'Lot 4, Sec. 33-51-6 which is county owned. I applied for purchase to the Sales Committee last September and they decided to withhold from sale. At the present time I own the S NIL of Sec..32-51-6 on which we have a cottage. The land I wish to purchase adjoins our present holdings on the east side. According to the letter I received Oct. 3, 1955, the Sales Committee stated that the Town of Bell may ask the County Board for the right to acquire this property. I do knozr that the Town of Bell does plaxi to, resell this property. When I inquired about this property from the Toiim of Bell about 4 years ago, I believed that said property belonged to the Town of Bell, and when I inquired nothing was said that it belonged to Bayfield County. All that was said to me was that the Town of Bell was keeping the property for a blueP.erry patch. So this Fall I was visiting a neighbor and they had a plat. book. I never heard of a plat book before. It is quite interesting.. So I looked up my property, was studying the section where ray property is located and come to find out Bayfield County owns the land behind my property and not the Town of Bell as I was led.to believe. So I went to 10fashburn Court House. and inquired about this said Land and found it to be true that Bayfield County owns the said property. Now I understand that the Town of Bell wants this property and that they plan to resell this property. I know of two individuals that the t oun of Bell plans to sell part of it to. In all fai3:?.ess I personally think that said property should go out on bids to the public. And if the County Board and the Sales Committee decide to let the `'own of Bell have said land I would like the County Board and the Sales Committee to let me purchase at least 200 feet adjoining my property. sincerely) Ivirs.

Tranm_al: The Conservation Committee of the Bayfield County Board hat requested my opinion as to the authority of the county to appropriate funds for the purpose of changing the channel between two lakes in the Eau Claire Lakes region in the Town of Barnes., It appears that the existing channel between the two lakes which are on slightly different levels is filling up at the lower end, and it is proposed to change 379 November .16 . 1955 the channel in such a way that the water will run faster and carry its silt out into the -lower lake a greater distance, and thereby keep the channel open. I am unable to find any statute authorizing the county to undertake this type of work., On the other hand, I do .find that Section 81.05 gives the town board of a.tovnm in which a water -way is eituated the authority to adopt the same as a Public water -way and, thereupon, expend highway funds in the improvement of the naAd:gability thereof. It would appear to me that this legislative enactment states the legislative intent that -this type of matter should be within the jurisdiction of the town rather than of the county, especially since I am unable -to find any comparitable statute with respect to county board powers. The committee also asked advice concerning the authority of the county with respect to public access to lakes. There does not. appear to be anything in the statutes relating to this subject, but I believe it would be difficult for the county to undertake, a program of insuring public access to lakes within the county. It would seem to me that this again is a town matter, and that the towns have more authority in that regard than the county could possibly.have. I have in mind the fact that a town may . lay out a town highway to a lake, and while in some instances thismay involve the taking of private lands and making an award of damages, the procedure in doing that is much less complicated than it would be for the county tb attempt to lay out such highways on the county level. I am sending a copy of this letter to Mr. Man oser, Chairman.of the Town of Barnes, for his , information, .because of the fact that his torn is the one in which the water-zi,tay in Question is located, sand for the further reason that his town is Particularly interested in the matter of public access to lakes.

November. 6, 1955 Bayfield County Board Washburn, Wisconsin Honorable Chairman and Gentlemen: I am considering purchase of a section of land -in Bayfield County for timber growing, and in future years establishment of a permanent home. The land I am interested in is located in Barnes Township, County Forest Unit 5, Section 1. At present the only access to the property is off U. S. 633, then by township road to Ole Lake, and thereafter by a rough logging trail of about nine miles.. I have noted,upon examination of maps of the Bounty that there are several possibilities of more dependable admittance. One approach would be from State Highway 27 to the Barnes lookout, and then for a distance of approximately two miles to the property in question. The other alternative would be extension of a town road which terminates in Section 31, Drummond Totianship•, at a.tributary of the Ounce River. This would be for a distance of about one mile. The reason for my inquiry is to find out whether the county is contemplating con- struction of any additional town roads into'...Zounty Forest Unit # 53, for better fire protection and more dependable accessibility. If such a plan has-been formulated, I would appreciate hearing from you, what areas in the Unit it would encompass. If no November 16, 19'55 additional roads are planned in this area by the county, I would be grateful to have you furnish me with the names and addresses of the property owners adjacent to Section 1. Namely Sections 2, 3 and 4 to the west, and of Section 36 to the north, all being located in Barnes township. I would like 'to have these names and addresses., for possible construction of a private road into the area. If there is a charge for this service, kindly advise and I Will send remittance for same.

Everett Beimel of this city. IiIr. Evere Beimel is a brother of Harold Beimel, now deceased and desires to purchase the delinquent tax certificate on the property of Harold Beimel, consisting of a part of Lot 1, Section 19, Township 44 Range 5 and being the ;'lest 150 feet of the East 600 feet of. Lot l..as des - Bribed in Volume 160 of Deeds on page 191 in the office of the Register of Deeds. This lake property was originally owned by John Beimel, the father of Everett Beirlel and Harold Beimel, deceased. Upon the death of John Beimel this lake property was divid- ed among his children, as they all wanted to keep it in the family. Harold Beimel died very suddenly and his widow desires Is. and ILrs. Everett Beimel to become the owners of the above property. However, 1:1irs. Beimel has sorae minor children and she does not feel that she can afford the expense of probating the estate of Harold Beimel in order to be a position to sell this property to Everett Beimel. The above property also is next to tr_e lake property now owned by li1r. and gZrs. Everett Beimel and for that reason and for -the further reason_ that the widow of Harold Beimel grants the property to stay in the Beim family and .would convey it to them if she were legally able to do so, are the reasons why ItIr. and Mrs. Everett Beimel desire to purchase the delinquent tax certificate on this property, which will be sold on the third Tuesday in October. ;'le trust that Bayfield County will authorize the sale of this tax certificate for th delinquent taxes for the year 1954 to bIr. and Mrs. Beimel.

So that your officials would better understand the problem that I am presenting here, I have forwarded our abstract of title covering the above land to your district attorney, Walter T.. Norlin,- for his examination® In addition, I have disauss•ed this matter vii th Bayfield County Treasurer, I13r. T . p. Bod.in. The problem in suziriary, form here is the fact that Bayfield .County has been tax deeding -and deeding away the above land ahile the said land teas.still held by the ti United States Government. In fact, Bayfield County has been levying taffies for same years on this land, tiahen, of course, property held by the United States Government is not subject to such taxation. The United States Government did not give up i.ta ownership of this property until April 4, 1955, when it conveyed by means of a patent to Howard Ihrig; :vhich in- 404 strument is recorded in Volume of IItiscellaneous 166, Page 163. This patent was obtain- ed through the means of a public land sale held by the Federal Government. I would very much appreciate your discussing this matter with Mr. Bodin and Mr. Norlin, and then present the same to the Bayfield County Board of :supervisors at its next meeting in order to obtain cancellation of the assessed taxes for the ,years 1953 and 1954, which now appear upon the County Treasurerl's book as delinquent. When the Bayfield. County Board has so acted, kindly notify me so that I may have our abstract again brought up to date to uh6VT ownership in this company and proceed to close our land file.

The following Budget Report was read: PROPOSED BIB_DGET For the year 1956 To the Honorable Bayf field County Board of Supervisors Gentlemen: de the undersigned Committee on Finance, Budget and Equalization, herewith sub- mit our report and recommendations for 1956. VALUATION November 17, 1955 The recommended equalized value of the County for 1955 is 425,063,710.00. This is an increase of $83,135.00 over last year and will permit an additional County tax of $8,313.50, Some of the larger increases •J17ere: 1. City of Bayfield 115,165.00 2. City of Yashburn 552490.00 3. Village of Cable 32.2-460.00. The largest decrease was the Town of Barksdale of $li6,625.00 due principally from the loss of one of the units of the DuPont Company by explosion. Generally speaking the deceases were in the agricultural districts; AUDIT The audit of. 1954 is completed, Mr. Wickman met with the Committee and explained the report in detail. He is submitting a proposal to audit the 1955 records at an increase of $120.00 -r�Thich is the first in several years. We recommend its acceptance. SANATORIUM A recent opinion of the Attorney General states that surgery for Sanatorium patients are a charge against the sanatorium, whereas,in the past it was reflected in the item of State General Hospital.. It is expected that this will add $15,000.00 per year to Sana- torium costs. There is a large increase in the -item of patients in State and other County Sanatori- ums. In view of the fact that there are a number of empty beds at Pureair Sanatorium we are giving this matter further study. CONSERVATION We reduced this item from the Committees recommendations of $5350000 to $4350.00 in order to help balance the budet.; We feel that this will enable the Conservation Committee to put on two better quality shows. HEALTH The increase in costs for Doctors at clinics granted by the 'County Board last April is reflected in the budget for County Nurse. WELFARE tote made several reductions in some of these items as recommended by the Welfare Comm- ittee. Receipts from State & Federal .aid show corresponding _reductions. The item for I:Iedical & Hospital for 0. A. A. and A. D. C. has been increased from 40 to 55 thousand. The {lelfare Department request for this item was �,60,000000. SALARIES & WAGES These have been included in the budget ' items as recommended by the Personnel Committee. HIGHWAY County Bridge aid is increased over last year and we recommend $14,405.78 which is in the budget. The one mill levy to complete the Namel.capon-Clam Lake road tirill amount to �a5,063.71 is over the 1_per cent County tax limitation. 0 November 17, 1955 FINANCE GENERAL ,We left out the item of 15 Hof stumpage sales to the Forestry Department as, there appears to be a sufficient balance in the Forestry Fund at this time. The audit report for 1954 operation shovis.an increase in assets over liabilit- ies of ��52,000.00 of which approximately �8;000.00 is tied up in additional tax deeds and tax certificates, 65,000.00 increase in tax revenues over budget estimates, the u. balance in decreased expenditures in welfare aids & Sanatorium. The Sanatorium re- duction wds due primarily to a 'smaller number of patients. I--ie call your attention to 'the 'fact that the budgeris balanced. In doing so, we did not apply any excess revenue from 1954 operations; Vie feel that current expenses should be taken care of by revenues of the same year. We 'are recommending that the County purchase the balance of excess delinquent tax rolls for "the tax of 1951'amouiiting to 8,220.48, This is being supported by a separate resolutitori.
