The aforesaid description is presently part of the County Park System. This forty was found to be a wooded area with no public access. A branch of the north Fish Creek runs through this forty entering it at the northwest corner and cross- ing the forty in a southeasterly direction to the east line and thence running along the,,east line in a southerly direction. The stream is generally three or four feet wide and is spring fed with its source about one-half mile from the northwest corner a short distance east of County Trunk "G". Several small trout were observed by the committee as they walked down stream. :The banks of .the ravine are very steep and high with a covering of aspen and some norway and white pine and also some hardwood scattering over the forty. This description is not suitable for farming purposes and would be quite diffi- cult to log. It,is recommended that this forty remain in the County Park System at the present time but that some consideration should be given to the possibility of selling it to the.Wisconsin Conservation Department if they sould.be interested in purchasing it.

It is now public knowledge that there are only a few contenders left who are being considered by the State. Taylor.County is one of the fortunate ones left and being considered at.present. We, the Taylor County Committee and County Board, are asking for your support in this matter and have enclosed a resolution which we would like to have your honorable body act on in our -favor.. We feel that it is fair to ask this, since you may rest assured that should the circumstance -be reversed, Taylor County would help to support you. We made our proposal to the State and used the following arguments which we feel helped to get us in the finals: 1. Our location is almost exactly at the center of the area set aside by the legislature and would save you many additional miles and hours of travel for your 228 November. .10, - `1965 law officers as well as the parents of the boys. 2. We are a distressed -area -and 'this facility could help to improve our economic condition. 3.

The following Report was read: November 5, 1965 BAYFIELD COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS BAYFIELD COUNTY COURTHOUSE WASHBURN, WI SCONSIN Gentlemen: I respectfully submit my report on operations of the Veterans' Service Office for the year of 1965. So far this year, through the Veterans' Service Office, several thousands of dollars in medical payments, pensions, loans and grants have been granted to the vet- erans and their dependents. A copy of the new benefits granted this year is enclosed. By getting the veterans to the Veterans' Administration Hospital when they need hosp- italization, the local township is relieved of having to pay the bill, as most of these veterans are on pension and carry no insurance. The doctors in our area have been very cooperative with me; also the Veteran Administration, the State Department of Veterans Affairs, the Sheriff's Department, my co-workers in the courthouse and you members of the board. I herewith submit a list of contacts made during the course of the year in this office and a list of the completed applications. I will continue to give the best service I possibly can to the veterans and their dependents of Bayfield County. If you have any further questions of the activities of this office, you are wel- come to stop in the office at any time, as I have the complete records on file. Thank you, Gentlemen: for your help.

The following Report was read: ' June 15, 1965 Mr. G. Wm. Frankie, Chairman Bayfield County Boa rd of Supervisors Iron River, Wisconsin Dear Sir: In accordance with the provisions of Section 46.17 (3) of the Wisconsin Statutes, the annual official inspection of.the Bayfield County Jail.was,conducted on June 8,1965. All jail sections.were found.to be good in appearance, and it.appear.ed that ade- quate housekeeping -procedures are maintained. It is recognized that because of the old and antiquated facility a great deal of effort must be exercised to keep the jail in a sanitary condition.: It is again brought to the attention of county officials that the window ventilat- ors are in need of a heavy mesh protection which would not only minimize the danger of the introduction of contraband in or out of the_.jail, but act as an insect screen. I have suggested that a -heavy mesh of one -quarter inch, or less, of one -eighth inch wire, be provided or something which would be durable and not subject.to damage by those persons confined. The present situation is such that it would not be much of a problem to introduce items such as guns or hacksaw blades into the jail sections. The adult jail register and juvenile records were found to be maintained currently and providing the necessary required information and additional information deemed necessary. It° -was noted that jail population at the Bayfield County Jail is running slightly higher than that of 1964, but shows no significant changes. .It is my sincere hope that county officials will in the near future make the necessary adjustments on the window ventilators, particularly in view of the.fact that this improvement has been requested for several years. 235 November ^10, Please express my appreciation to-She'riff Embe'rtson and members of his staff for the courtesies extended me at the time of this visit.

REPORT CONSERVATION COMMITTEE Bayfield County Board of Supervisors: Gentlemen: Your Conservation Committee has made a study of the feasibility of acquiring a parcel of land on Atkins Lake for a public access, as directed by the County Board at their September 27th meeting. Atkins Lake is located in the Town of Pratt in Sections 19 & 20, Township 44 N. Range 5 W. The parcel being offered to the County is on the East side of the lake. Atkins Lake is about 200 acres in size, and according to information available has a maximum depth of 61 feet. Large and small mouth bass, Northern Pike, and other pan fish are reported in the lake. There is no public access to the lake at present,,: A small boat landing and signs put up by the U. S. Forest Service designating a free boat landing are apparently on the property now being offered for sale to Bayfield County. We have checked the records in the Register of Deed's office and it appears that the boat landing does not belong to the U. S. Forest Service. This has been confirmed by the District Forest Ranger. The area being offered to Bayfield County is about 460 feet of lake frontage. The area of the boat landing however, is only about 150 feet and the rest is a steep bank of about-10 or 12 feet from the water line to the town road above. There is a possibility of having a parking area on the east side of the town road, or possibly moving the road east to have more parking area next to the lake. The Committee recommends that Bayfield County negotiate for the purchase of the parcel as it is probably the only site available for a public access to Atkins Lake. 91,igned: THE CONSERVATION COMMITTEE, Bernard Johnson, Chairman George Sampson Glenn W. Hall Evald Johnson Frank Hoefling Moved by Bernard Johnson and seconded by Neitge to receive and place on file the foregoing Report. Motion Carried. Novevember .129- 1965 The following Resolution was read: WHEREAS, a parcel of land described as Government Lot Twleve (12), less parcel described in Volume 126 Page 185 of deeds, Section Twenty (20), Township Forty-four (44) North., Range Five (5) West, is being offered for sale to Bayfield County, and WHEREAS, it is deemed to be to.the best interest of Bayfield County to purchase the above described parcel of.land,. NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Conservation Committee of the County Board be and they are hereby authorized to negotiate for the purchase of said parcel, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that if it can be purchased for a price satisfactory to the Conservation Committee, the proper officers of Bayfield County be authorized and directed to purchase the aforesaid parcel.

Motion Carried.. The following Report was read: REPORT OF CONSERVATION COMMITTEE FOR 1965 OUT DOOR SHOWS We attended four out door shows in 1965. Moines. The shows draw more people each year. about 500,000 people this year. Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis and Des The attendance at the Chicago show was" We printed 75,000 colored.folders which were distributed at the shows and.other J information centers. We also bought 10,000 shopping bags with "Bayfield County" print ed on one side. They are also used at the shows. We believe the bags.are.a valuable advertising item as they draw people to our booth so we can talk to them. It is also: good as a public relations item. We plan to purchase 75,000 folders, 15,000 bags and 50,000 cards for 1966. The cards make it miuch-easier for people to write for information on accomodations and reservations. We expect to attend four shows in 1966. COUNTY PARKS The Twin Bear Park was overcrowded this summer as usual. We now have a new block building with a concrete floor in this park. It is a well built building. It has rest rooms for men and women with stainless steel stools. This is an improvement in sanitation. We moved two old toilets to the Delta Park from the Pike Lake Park. We are pro- viding more room for parking at Delta Lake and hope we can thus relieve some of the overcrowding at Twin Bear. Twenty tables and ten fireplaces were placed at Twin Bear, Delta, Big Rock and at Sand Point. We need another boat landing at Twin. Bear and one at the Delta Park. WATER SHED & STREAM IMPROVEMENT.. This year most of the funds for stream improvements have been used on 18 mile creek. With the cooperation of the Town of Pratt and the Wisconsin Conservation Commission, we have sandbagged and diked the lower end, and now have the water running in one __November 12, 1965 f . ,I channel again. Banks have been sloped. Rock was placed on the banks to stop erosion. We believe that this stream will again be the.valuable stream it once was. The State shocked the river and found a good supply of trout coming up the stream again. There is need for more of this kind of work. Hope we can get some help from some other source as this work is far behind. It should have been.started thirty years ago. DAMS & SURVEYS Surveys have not been made in the Town of Barnes on the Eau Claire River for the building of a dam and two locks to make navigation possible between the upper and middle Eau Claire Lakes, As of this date no word has been received from the Public Service Commission for approval. Estimated cost of this project is about $$34,000.00. Another survey was made on the Totogatic Lake to find out how much the water could be raised and the possible cost._ Estimated cost of that -project is $10600":00.' A survey shows that the lake could be raised about six feet which would make this lake one of the best. This is the lake we have a county park on. We hav�ho cost estimate on this project but a guess would be $$25,000.00. All these projects would be subject to a 50% town contribution. We believe all of.these are desirable projects as the taxable income from improve— ments would pay back to the county the cost plus a good profit. 1965 EXPENDITURES UP TO DATE Folders $ 2701.86 Indian Head 500.00 Wonderful Wisconsin 175.00 Chicago Show 1158.73 Milwaukee Show 809.80 Minneapolis Show 769.31 DesMoines Show 602.77 Entrance Fees 900.00 Bags -for Shows 406.04 Cards for Shows 60.00 Pictures & i�ri.te ups 166.86 Committee Work 868.00 Fish Mount 185.00 Miscellaneous 46.43 $6 9349.80 OUTLAY Delta Lake Survey $$' 2821.40 Totagatic Lake Survey 1695.80 Eau Claire River Survey 950.00 Parks 2052.97 Total Outlay $$ 7520.17 Signed: CONSERVATION COMMITTEE BernarOJohnson, Chairman George Sampson Glenn W.

We would now respectfully request that you honor the enclosed bill and begin a twelve-month subscription to our COUNTY INFORMATION SERVICE (CIS).. Some 550 counties with a total population of 62 million now subscribe to this service. This rapidly expanding base is giving us the resources we need to better represent counties before Congress and the federal agencies - to expand our informa- tion service - to improve our meetings and publications - and to increase public respect for county government. As a subscriber to this service, your county will have at its service our 20 member professional staff to research your special problem; to hunt down your "lost" application to a federal agency; to advise you on legislation or to perform for you a variety of other services. Perhaps the best recommendation we have is the knowledge that participating counties find this service so valuable that our annual renewal rate is very nearly 100%. We do hope you will give us a chance to serve you. Sincerely yours, Bernard-F.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Ashland Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, hereby requests that schools in Ashland and Ashland County begin their school year after Labor Day, and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the State Department of Public Instruction, other tourist organizations, and Chambers of Commerce of resort areas requesting them to pass a like resolution and send a copy 254 November__1.2,_ a_9_65 of the same to their local School Boards and the State Department of Public Instruc- tion.

In effect this also put the House on record against any proposal to. charge farmers for .technical assistance provided by the Soil Conservation Service. The appropriation bill now comes to the Senate, where the restored funds are almost certain to be supported. I want to assure you and the Board that I will continue to do everything I can to keep these funds in the bill.. I also am enclosing a copy of a speech outlining my opposition to these cut- backs.

November, _ 12 ,_ 196 5 _ _ _ The following Communication was reads DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WASHINGTON 25, D. C. June 2, 1965 Mr. Edward A. Pajala Bayfield County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Pajala: President Johnson has forwarded your letter and the resolution adopted by the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors regarding budgetary considerations for the soil conservation programs, and asked this Department to reply in his behalf. The budget level of the Agricultural Conservation Program has been a matter of concern for many years. In each of the last several years the budget has proposed to reduce the program in view of the many heavy obligations which must be covered in the national budget. In proposing a leval for the 1966 program it was believed that the reduced amount still would permit the Federal Government to share with farmers the cost of a substantial number of conservation practices that will have a minimal stim- ulating effect on the production of agricultural commodities that are in surplus supply. The over-all budget proposal for 1966 for the Soil Conservation Service has been increased to provide for expansion in watershed projects and community wide projects for resource conservation and development. At the same time we are proposing a shift to a user charge approach for financing a part of the cost of on -site technical assist- ance to soil conservation districts. We expect this approach to relieve the taxpayers of $20 million annually which previously has been appropriated by the Federal Govern- ment for this purpose. This is a part of the Administration's announced policy to press for user charges in Government programs where benefits are provided to specific, identifiable indivi- duals and businesses. There are immediate and direct values from technical services each to/ landowner) to groups of landowners, and whole communities which should be paid for, in part, by such beneficiaries. Those who gain immediate and direct benefits should share in the cost of providing the service. The principle of Federal -local sharing of costs is well established. It is in common use in many programs. It recognizes, in principle, both a valid long-term public interest and an interest of the immediate beneficiaries. It is considered a sound proposal and legislation for its implementation is being drafted. Sincerely Yours, John A. Baker Assistant Secretary Moved by Art Hanson and seconded by Art Anderson to receive and place -on file the foregoing communication.

Fo'r the life of me I cannot understand what this Administration is thinking about in threatening to cut Programs such as,our various Soil Conservation Programs. In many. respects I think that our present Department of Agriculture is worse than it was under Ezra Benson® As far as I am concerned, in the 22 years I have been in Congress, our various Soil Conservation Programs have been the best part of our Farm Programs, and the only Programs that help the small family farmer.

The following Communication was read: UNITED STATES -DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR Geological Survey May 17, 1965 Mr. Edward A. Pajala County Clerk Office of County Clerk Washburn, Wisconsin Dear Mr. Pajala: Creek I was hoping to hear from you concerning permission to examine Bear drill core from Bayfield County, as you indicated that the County Board was to meet on April 20.- My only chance to examine this core. was on a visit to Minneapolis from which I have just returned, so the opportunity has now been lost, as I don't expect to get back there before my report is written. I am writing to suggest to the County Board that they consider removing the res- striction now placed on access to this core. Bayfield County has nothing to lose and always the possibility of gain from having the core examined by interested people. A county is not at all in the same position as a company, which .may enjoy some com- November 12. 1965 petitive advantage.by withholding information. From the County's point of view, the more scientists and engineers that examine the core the better, if it should, by chance, contain any information of value. Any unnecessary restriction may, as in my case, introduce delays or inconvenience that will reduce the number who might look at it. The storage provided by the Bureau of Mines is -excellent, and the arrangements for examining it include ample safeguards against the kind of harm that might come to the core ..were it under no supervision. Sincerely yours, Walter S. White, Geologist Moved by Stuart and seconded by Bernard E.

VALUATION The Supervisor of Assessments recommends a true value of $43,155,900.00.. The legal limit of taxation for County general purposes is 1% exclusive of debt items® The • P Budget is up to the legal limit. It includes an item of $24,796.35 for a contingency fund. WELFARE This, continues to be one of the larger items in the Budget. State and Federal aid is reflected according to costs in the revenue section of the Budget. We expect the Medicare Program to affect the Welfare Budget in the future. REST HOME It is operating at full capacity. There is an Outlay Item of $8,000.00 in the proposed Budget which has been recommended by the Board of Trustees. HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES Highway expenditures are financed entirely from gasoline and automobile revenues, with the exception of County Bridge Aid to Districts. The Bridge Aid from 1966 amounts to $7,916.62, a reduction of $19323.14. AUDIT The audit report for 1964 has been completed. The report is on file in the County Clerk's office and is available for inspection.. We recommend acceptance of his proposal for audit of the 1965 records, and he has again agreed to complete the audit on or.before Oct. 15th. The Audit this year was com- pleted on schedule and was of great value to the committee in preparing the proposed 1966 Budget. FINANCE We are again introducing a resolution authorizing short term loans, although for several years it has not been necessary to make such loans. The budget is based on the recommendation of the Personnel Committee as to.wages and salaries. The Committee has kept all Budgets intact as recommended by the various committees with the exception of reductions in:several out lay items in order to keep the county tax within the legal limit. HEALTH CLINIC There is a proposed appropriation of $6,000,00 for the Mental Health Clinic, now officially known as the North Central Guidance Center. Only $1,000.00 of the $6,000.00 appropriated for 1965 has been used. The Board of Directors indicate that the Center should be in operation in the near future,, November 12., _ 196 5 NEW ITEMS An appropriation of $600.00 is recommended to enable the County to take advantage of any projects set up under the anti -poverty program. The fund will be under the direct control of the Finance Committee. The Committee strongly recommends that all county jobs, both elective and appoint- ed be classified as to job description and that just and realistic salary ranges be established, GENERAL GOVERNMENT: County Board County .Clerk County"Treasurer EXPENDITURES 1965 Appropriation 10,000.00 139500.00 10,000.00 Income 'Tax Processing I- - - Assessment & Addressograph 5,200.00 District Attorney, 12-9550.00 Family Court Commissioner lv200.00 County Surveyor 400.00 County Court 129500.00 County Court Expense - - - Circuit Court 10,000.00 Juvenile Court 200.00 Coroner 800,.'00 Court House '119220.00 Elections 2,200.00 Special Accounting & - Auditing 2, 775.00 Liability & Compensation Insurance 1,300.00 Total S 939845.00 *State Special Charges PROTECTION OF PERSONS & PROPERTY Sheriff $ 299660.00 County Traffic Officer #1 69190.00) County -Traffic Officer #2 .. 5,850.00) Indian Police 2,500.00 Crime Laboratory 172.50* Register of Deeds o 13,030.00 *State Special Charges Recommended for 1966 8 9,000.00 149025.00 109250.00 6,000.00 13,050.00 19200.00 400.00 9,000.00* 6,000.00 11,000.00 200.00 1,000.00 119355.00 79500.00 2,800.00 2,000.00 1049780.00 Revised $ 31,644.00-R. $ 319884.00 12,470.00 2, 500.00 52.50* 149260.00 260 --------- -_--- -- - ----------- November 12,-1965---- EXPENDITURES (CONT'D.)
