Sheriff Frank Utpadel

Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear -Sir:
Motion carried.
April 1.5 , 1957
In accordance with Section 46.17 (3) of the Wisconsin Statutes, the
Bayfield County Jail was inspected on April 11, 1957, and the following
conditions were found.
The jail was excellent in appearance, cleanliness, and sanitation.
Bunks are made-up with mattress, blanket, pillow, and pillow case.
In the first floor cell block, which contains four cells, the toilet
and lavatory are located in the center area dayroom; and when more
than one prisoner is confined, cell doors must be left open so prisoner
can use the plumbing facilities.
It was noticed in the storage room on the second floor that Pillows,
blankets, and white linens are laid out on a table. This manner of
storing linens and bedding does not appear adequate. It is therefore
recommended that a closed cabinet provided with shelves for the storage
of these items be provided.
I wish..to convey my thanks to you, Sheriff Utpadel, and tothose people
with -whom I came in contact for the courtesy and consideration at the
time of this inspection. If there is anything we in this department
can do to help in any way, please feel free to call on us.

Bayfield Board of County Supervisors
Mr. Ludwig Tranmal, Clerk
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
The Publishers of the three Bayfield County Newspapers
request members of the Bayfield County Board take into con-
sideration an increase of rates for the publication of the
County Board proceedings.
This request is based on the increased cost of labor,
newsprint and other expenses over a number of years since
the last adjustment.of price for the publications of County
Board proceedings.
Based on the state fee for the publication of legal
notices of $1.25 per folio and 90¢ per folio for each
subsequent publication1, we feel that payment of $1.15 per
folio for publication, 350 per folio for printing supplements
April 17, i957
and $25.00 for the distribution of the proceedings will cover
the increased cost of these services.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
Sincerely,
Paul L. Robinson
Publisher of The Washburn Times

Publisher of The Bayfield County Press
