We are finding it increasingly difficult 'to maintain service along the route of this line without interruption because of the proximity of trees adjacent to it, which fall into the , line and cause interruptions to service from time to time. We propose to widen this right of way to a full width of 100 feet, i.e., 50 feet each side of the centerline of the present transmission line. In order to do this it will be necessary for us to obtain new easements to provide for this greater width of right of way than is granted by easements we now hold along the route of this line. For that reason we are at this time respectfully making application to Bayfield County for an easement covering those portions of pur transmission line located upon Bayfield County land. Two copies of a Resolution and a proposed form of easement are enclosed herewith, together with a map on which is shown in yellow the lands owned by Bayfield County upon which this transmission line is now located.

The following communication was read: October 12, 1959 Mr, Ludwig Tranmal County Clerk, Bayfield County Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Tranmal: Since 1955 I have been trying to get a road or trail to my property on Raspberry Bay described as Lots 1 and 2. Section 1-51-4 and Lot 2, 36-52-4 and I have written you about this matter and sent sketches showing proposed trail to service the property. I have worked for almost forty years trying to develope Bayfield County by in- teresting tourists and land buyers in the county but the County must also do some- thing to encourage Ipeople to come there. It seems to me that I have received very little benefit to my lands from the taxes I have paid in the last thirty-five to forty years. When I asked for a trail to my land even that request was denied with the excuse that the Town did not have the money to take care of it. The cost could be placed on the tax roll. I could develope the Raspberry Bay lands if I could get to.it. Enclosed find a copy of a sketch I made in 1955, showing two plans for a trail running from the gravel pit in the S'/z of SEy4, 1-51-4 in a northwesterly direction from th ire lane for a distance of about three-quarters of a mile to my land. There is no heavy timber to IL12 November _.:11, 1959 cut through, only small birch and poppel, without much value now and which won't have much value in our lifetime. I am not a.sking for a road on the section line. I cannot lay myself liable by trespassing on adjoining property and running a bulldozer through it to make a trail to my land, and stand the chance of the owners claiming damages.. I would buy enough of the land to get a road in and make my property accessable. According to an old map I have it shows Bayfield County as the owner of the West /2 of Section 1-51-4 and the N/2 of the Southeast / Section 2-52-4. I am sending a copy of this letter to the County Treasurer and to Mr. Paul Tribovich, Chairman of the Town of Russell, hoping the three of you can get together and help me work out some kind of a plan to give me.access to my property. It would benefit the whole location if I could develope the land on Raspberry Bay, but I can't do anything unless I can get to it. My letters to Mr. Tribovich in 1955, 1956 and 1957 describe how I believe this can be worked out. This is the time of the year to do this work. Let me hear from you as soon as possible. Yours very truly, S. D. Austin Moved by Tribovich and seconded'by Evald Johnson to receive the foregoing communication and place on file. Motion Carried.
