The following communication was read:
January 25, 1966
County Clerk, Bayfield County
Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear Sir:
Re: Joseph Sekelsky
Enclosed please find Notice of Claim against Bayfield County on behalf of Joseph
Sekelsky, by myself as his attorney. I have been negotiating with your insurance
carrier through Crawford & Crawford, adjusting company of Duluth, Minnesota. I be-
lieve that this matter will be settled without court action as soon as I can meet with
the adjusting company.
We have been negotiating for settlement of this matter ever since the accident
occurred. However, Mr. 8_ekelsky has been troubled with an injury,to his knee resulting
in surgery in the summer of 1964.. He was told to wait six months thereafter for an
opinion as to the surgical result. The Surgery was delayed in hopes that it would not
be necessary to perform and that is the reason why this matter has dragged this long.
The reason for the notice of claim is because the statutes of limitations are
run in July of 1966 and if for any reason settlement cannot be made with the insurance
carrier, suit will have to be started. Therefore, I would appreciate early action on
this matter. I expect that you will deny the claim because the matter is now in the
hands of your insurance carrier and if settlement cannot be reached litigation will
be necessary.
Thanking you very kindly for your cooperation, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Alex J. Raineri, Attorney at law
Moved by Moniza and seconded by Art Hanson to receive the foregoing communication
and place on file. Motion Carried.
The following Notice of Claim was read:
To: The County Clerk, Bayfield County
To: The County Board of Supervisors, Bayfield County,
Wisconsin, Washburn, Wisconsin.
Gentlemen:
You are hereby notified that, on the 12th day of July, 1963, at about the hour of
1:20 p.m. Joseph Sekelsky suffered an injury and great damage to his person by reason of
the negligence of one of your County Highway trucks driven by a county employee. Such
injury or damage occurred on a public highway in Bayfield County at the intersection
of Highway 13 and Bayview Park road.
That the injury happened when the County truck failed to yield a right of way to
an automobile in which Joseph Sekelsky was a passenger causing the automobile and truck
to collide, resulting in personal injury to Joseph Sekelsky.
And said County, its supervisors and officers, are hereby notified that Joseph
Sekelsky claims satisfaction for said injury from said County.
Dated this 25th day of January, 1966.
Alex J. Raineri,
Claimants attorney
Service of a copy of the above and foregoing notice, this 15 day of Feb. 1966 is
hereby admitted. Edward A. Pajala, County Clerk

April 18, 1966
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
We'wish to go on record in favor of the river project between Middle and
Upper Eau Claire Lakes because:
1. We believe it will stimulate tourist trade for the area by opening up
access to more lakes.
2. The beauty of the area could be enjoyed by all, residents and tourists,
if the river were navigable.
Yours truly,
Mr. & Mrs. Robert KIduke
Robert F. Klauke
P.S. Our property is located on the river and on the Middle lake.
NE SE.
Sec. 17, Town 44,
If any dredging is done, we would be glad to have the sand dumped on our
property on the swampy section next to the river.
Mr. Robert Ledin stated in the presence of Mr. Cirilli and Mrs. Wendelbo that he
was of the opinion that as Mr. Cirilli had now been allowed to appear before the
Board to present any evidence that it would not be necessary for Bayfield County to
notify Mr. Cirilli of any further_ action to be taken in the future by the County Board.
Moved by Art Hanson and seconded by Mammoser to receive and to refer the fore-
going matter with the Petition and Communication to the future Conservation Committee.
