Sir: County Clerk, Wisconsin, November 11, 1958 Several days ago you will recall the writer discussed the purchase of certain isolated, scattered, small parcels of land and some forties,, all located within the boundaries of the Chequamegon National Forest, land the County could have no con- ceivable economic interest in wishing to retain other than they did not want it to M. December 191958 fall into the hands of people who might demand roads to it. I told you we wanted to acquire this land to trade to the Forestry Service and would guarantee that it would be so traded and that by selling us this land the county would benefit financially and the possibility of any of the lands in question ever falling into private. hands would be forever eliminated. You could see the advantages of our offer but expressed some doubts, such as the lands would have to be advertised and that we might not be the highest bidder, that no direct sales could be made by the sales committee to other than govern— mental bodiesi As I knew when I talked to you, the Sales Committee does have control as to who acquires these lands --they are not obliged to accept the highest bid, they can accept any bid of the appraised price or over, that they deem most advantageous to the county -- this I should know, having recently lost out on a forty to Tony Wise, although we bid a considerably higher price for it than he did. In fairness, that rule'should apply in this case if it is necessary to invoke'it. Due to.the extremely isolated lands which were purposely selected because of their locations, it is hardly likely anyone else wee would even bid on them. Considering these facts I cannot see how any Sales Committee could object to the lands in question being put up for sale. Will you please promptly contact the necessary individuals, discuss this letter with them, toward the end that the lands in question are promptly put up for sale? Thanking you, I am Yours very truly, by H. Ihrig, President NORTHWOODS TRADING CORPORATION Moved by Buck and seconded by Stuart to receive the foregoing communication and place on file.

We printed 459000 folders.ASome are sent to information centers, local resorts, taverns, filling stations, garages, sport shops and other places of bus- iness where tourists want information. The County Parks and trailer sites are getting more and more crowded. Toilets were moved and cleaned. Two new ones were built at the Delta Park and the fire places were repaired. Barrels were emptied at regular intervals, the grounds clean- ed and some brushing. A little bulldozing was also done. We increased the Budget for parks. This is due in part for expansion to take care of more people. Taking in consideration the increased valuation of our resort area, we believe that more of our tax dollars in the future should be spent on ad- vertising, etc., to keep this valuable tourist business coming to this County. You will see that this is also reflected in this year's Budget. December 1, 1958 The following is our Budget for 1959: Shows 39000.00 Indianhead Country, Inc. 500.00 Committee Expense 500.00 Parks 700.00 Game Committee 150.00 Folders 17800.00 (Others) DRUMMOND LAKE DAM (Outlay 1958) We had hoped that the Dam would be built this fall, but dealing with so many agencies Federal, State Public Service Commission, Conservation and others. It has been hard to clear away red tape. The plans for the Dam are being finished and the Engineers have assured us that the Dam can now be built. We expect to start as soon as the weather permits next Spring.

M1 , 62 ,December 1, 1958 The following Report was read: PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1959 TO THE.HONORABLE BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. Gentlemen: We the undersigned Committee on Finance, Budget and Equalization, hereby submit our report and recommendations for 1959. VALUATION The recommended value of the County for 1958 is $31,6049295.00. This is an increase of $4,873,805.00. It will permit an additional $$48,738.00 tax levy for county purposes. It is interesting to note that the larger increases in valuation as a whole is in Towns having lakes or recreational areas. The average overall increase is 20.49 per cent. SANATORIUM The population is about the same as the past few years except that the number of patients from other Counties than Ashland, Bayfield and Iron have increased. An extensive program for window replacement in 1959 is incorporated in the budget. SALARIES & WAGES We have followed the recommendations of the personnel committee. There is no pro- vision for increase of salaries or wages. HIGHWAYS The item for County Bridge Aid is increased.by $$14,967.72. WELFARE The major changes is a reduction.of $$20,000.00 for Old Age Assistance and an in- crease of $40,000.00 for doctor, hospital.and medical. PLAT BOOKS We are recommending the printing of new up to date plat books of larger size and to contain additional information. HEALTH INSURANCE Our attention has been called to legislation which authorizes municipal bodies including Counties to provide partially or entirely, doctor and hospital insurance such as Blue Cross and Blue Shield, to its officers and employees. This matter will be submitted to the County Board for consideration by resolution. FINANCE It appears that there is no need for a bond issue for financing the construction of the nursing home. We therefore recommend adoption of a resolution rescinding action taken last meeting. We recommend the adoption of a resolution for temporary loans. We are pleased to submit the following budget which is balanced and which we feel isfai.r and adequate.
