All sections of the jail were found to very good in appearance, sanitation. the Bayfield County cleanliness, and Sheriff Embertson and*the jail staff are commended for the high standards of cleanliness and sanitation which are maintained and were evidenced at this inspection. It is recognized that the jail is old and that a great deal of effort must be employed to keep the jail in a clean and sanitary condition. The jail register was found to be complete and up-to-date. It was interesting to note in examining the jail register that the jail population so far in.1959 is almost equal to the total jail population of 1958. If the present trend continues, the jail or population for 1959 could exceed the total for 1958 by 40„more prisoners.. It was determined at this time that the Bayfield County Jail is complying with the provisions of Section 53.42 ofthe Wisconsin Statutes which requires a jailer to be on duty at all times prisoners are confined in the jail. The sincere interest and coopera- tion of county officials to comply with the provisions of the Wisconsin Statutes and the requirements of this Department is sincerely appreciated. The following was noted and is being brought to your attention: The locks on the doors of the segregated rooms on the second floor -are not operat- ing and it is requested that they be repaired. The locking mechanism in the first -floor cell block is not operating properly and it is requested that this be repaired. The outer fire -escape doors are very difficult to open; also, the cylinder lock on the outer fire -escape door on the first floor does not operate freely. It is requested that,these doors be repaired so that they operate freely. I wish to express my sincere appreciation to-Undersheri.ff Flones for the courtesy and cooperation extended me at the time of this inspection.

Dec. lst, 1959 The Bayfield County -Board, Washburn, Wis. Honorable Members, I wish to extend my sincere Thank You, as well as Congratulations, for the unanimous vote recently given in behalf of watershed management. Your action ex— emplified both vision and faith in the worth of basic conservation. Many Nations have been suffering -for centuries from the lack of such recognition, until too late. .And yet, the needs of watershed management is based on a simple fact of life. All of our needs stem from the products of our many and varied resources provided by our Creator. Man cannot create a natural resource, but by unwise use he�can destroy the re- production of the fruit it yields. Neither can Man supplant the workings of Nature,. but he can supplement its needs and thus help Nature create its own increased fruits to the benefit of mankind. The step you have taken is an important step, but only if.followed by further steps. Steps that could be'thd stimulus needed for rousing the necessary action. The alternative can only hasten' and add 'to our own defeat. Watershed management is a long range program. It will require years of con- tinuous effort, and no doubt there will be frustration at many points. But once there is sufficient public recognition of the true benefits, the program will move forward. I cannot help but believe that each of you will some day have a deep inward a sense of satisfaction of having made truly worthy decision. With good wishes for -the continued success of the Bayfield County Board, and with Season's Greetings to each and every one, I remain, Respectfully, Vic Wallin Moved by Herman Hanson and seconded by B.

Gentlemen: We the undersigned Committee on Finance, Budget, and Equalization, hereby submit our report and recommendations for 1960. VALUATION The recommended value of the County, by the Supervisor of Assessments for 1959 is $32,312,865. It,will permit an additional $7085.70 tax levy for county purposes. The proposed budget calls for a tak levy of .0093 which is under the 1% legal limitation by $19,769.01. SANATORIUM The replacement of old windows by new aluminum ones is now completed. The number of patients is reduced as'a whole. The number of Bayfield County patients has been reduced more in proportion than the other two counties. 1G5 December 2, 1959 The number of patient days of Bayfield County charges in recent months has been the lowest since the institution -began operation.. Our estimated share is 2Q% for 1960. It is interesting to note that 60% of the cost of operating the institution in 1960 will be paid by the State for State at barge Patients and by other counties. The budget includes an item of'$6000.00 for State Retirement Plan for its employees, of which Bayfield Countys share will be approximately $1200.00, SALARIES & WAGES We have followed the recommendations of the personnel committee. HIGHWAYS & BRIDGES The County,Bridge Aid is_S2000.00 a reduction of $21,427.02. WELFARE We refer you to the Welfare Directors report for detailed information. However, we wish to call to your attention to the large increase from $140,000.00 to $180,000.00 for the item of doctor, hospital and medical care. REST HOME The Rest Home is nearly completed. Items to be completed are landscaping, grad- ing and road improvement. The total cost of building,.grounds improvements and equip= ment will be approximately $2089000.00. The first patients moved in about the middle of last April. PLAT BOOKS We have contracted for new plat books to be completed and delivered by February 19 1960 at a cost of $3,588.00. They will be larger than the present one and will sell for $4.00 per copy. FINANCE There is no provision in the budget ,for county participation in a health insurance program for its employees. Nor does the budget provide for State Retirement for County Personnel. We recommend the adoption of a resolution authorizing short term loans., AUDIT The audit report covering 1958 operations has been completed. The auditor met with the committee and explained his report. We commend him for a fine and complete report. d EXPENDITURES GENERAL GOVERNMENT: 1959 Recommended Appropriation for 1960 County Board $ 89000.00 3 89000.00 County Clerk 119300.00 .12.9000.00 County Treasurer 9,150.00 9,000.00 Assessment,& Addressograph- 4,000.00 3,600.00 District Attorney 59500.00 5,500.00 Divorce Counsel 300.00 35000 R.
