Dear Mr. Pajala:

The City Council, at a recent meeting, considered the division of Washburn
under the new Re -Apportionment Bill, the division for three representatives being as
follows: A Representative from Ward 1
A Representative from Wards 2,, 3 and 4

Gentlemen:
Your Personnel Committee has made a study of the foregoing petition and wishes
to make the following report.
The committee has studied the salaries of the clerical help in Bayfield County
and the adjoining counties and finds that in order for the salaries to more equally
compare with.the salaries of the adjoining counties we feel that certain adjustments
are necessary in said salaries.
This committee therefore' recommends that the salary schedule of the Court House
and Highway Office clerical help with the exception of the Bayfield County Department
of Public Welfare be increased in the amount of $$20.00 per month effective January 1,
1966, and that all employees conform to this schedule.
