Iron River, Wis.
April '17, 1967
Mr. Ed. Pajala
Washburn, Wis.
Dear Ed, and members of the County Board
Motion Carried.
I am writing on behalf of the Iron River Lions Club and Troop 330 of Iron River
Boy Scouts of America.
As the Club is sponsoring the Scouts the boys asked me to see if I could help
them to get a piece of land where they could plant trees and carry on some of the
scout activities without going too far from home.
The tract they would like would be the SW/ of SE/9 Sec. 1 T. 47 N. R. 9 W.
This would be only for troop 330 of Iron River and the boys realize that the land
would always revert back to Bayfield County. They could not sell.
I sincerely hope the board can see fit to let the boys have this piece of land.
It is understood that the boys at no time go out without reliable adult supervision.
The County Forester at all times would be notified of all activities to take

I would like very much to be able to talk to the board to answer any questions
and if they see fit to act on this I would be glad to meet with the Committee at one
of their evening meetings.
Thank you for your time and consideration.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION OF WISCONSIN
February 14, 1967
Mr. Edward A. Pajala
Bayfield County Clerk - Courthouse Federal Aid Secondary Highway Funds
Washburn, Wisconsin 54891 Federal Aid Highway Act of 1966
Dear Sir:
Under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1966, Federal Aid secondary highway funds
will be available to Wisconsin in the amount of approximately $7,271,192 for each of
the,fiscal years 1968 and 1969.
The plan for the distribution and administration of the Federal Aid secondary
funds becoming available to Wisconsin under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1966 is
described in the accompanying statement. The provisions of the plan are similar'in
all respects to the plan approved for the distribution of funds made available under
the Federal Aid Highway Acts of 1962 and 1964.
The provisions of the plan were reviewed by Mr. A. J. Thelen, Executive Secre-
tary of the Wisconsin County Boards Association on January 16, 1967. The plan was
approved as presented.
The 1966 Federal Highway Act secondary funds apportioned for your county for the
two fiscal years 1968 and 1969 are as follows:
County Total 2-Year Apportionment
Bayfield $1839.200
Your attention is directed -to the fact that the President of the United States
by Executive Order has recently reduced the amount of Federal Aid Highway Funds avail-
able for the period ending .June 30, 1967 by approximately 50 percent. Therefore in
the event that this percentage reduction or a different percentage reduction is made
applicable to the Federal funds now apportioned for fiscal 1968 and 1969; the Comm-
ission reserves the right to reduce the amount indicated above as now,being Iavailable,
by the same percentage factor as may be prescribed by the Federal government that would
affect and/or reduce Federal Aid Highway fund expenditure during the. lifetime of the
,1966 Highway Act.
These funds may, subject to the above stated reservation, within the time limita-
tion provided in the accompanying statement, be matched by your county and used on
qualifying improvements requested by your county located upon county trunks or local
roads or streets forming a part of the Federal Aid Secondary Highway System or upon
its extensions intourban areas.
In planning the utilization of Federal Aid secondary funds, due consideration
should be given to qualifying improvements on the F. A. S. System or extensions thereof
in.cities and villages, and to qualifying and desirable extensions of rural improve=
ments into such municipalities.
It.need not be construed that the 2-year apportionment of Federal -aid secondary
funds must be spread over a 2-year period. Within certain limits, and within the re-
servation set forth above, which can be determined only after the total programs of
------- -- - --- - - - - - - - - -- - - April _18, 1967-
all counties are known, up to a total of a county's 2-year apportionment may be.. -used
in one year. Requests for the programming of projects using 1966 Act funds hereby
apportioned may be filed'at once.
The Commission's District Engineer and the District Engineer of Secondary Roads
will discuss with your county highway committee your potential Federal -Aid secondary
program, and your county, through your county highway committee is requested to work
with them in developing a proposed program of improvements on the Federal Aid Second-
ary System to utilize the funds apportioned to your county. The program requests by
your county highway committee, submitted through the district office will be subject
to review and approval by the Commission.
Please bring this matter to the attention of your county board at its next
session.
Sincerely,
V. L. Fiedler, Secretary

No. 14
METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATION
OF FEDERAL -AID SECONDARY HIGHWAY FUNDS AVAILABLE TO
WISCONSIN UNDER THE FEDERAL -AID HIGHWAY ACT OF 1966
Adopted by the State Highway Commission -February, 1967
Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1966
Federal -aid secondary highway funds authorized by the Federal -Aid Highway Act of
1966 and to be available for Wisconsin are tentatively estimated to be as follows:
For fiscal year 1968 (approximate) 792719192
For fiscal year 1969 (estimated) ",'7,2712192
Total 14,542,384
A sum of $12,250,000 for the two fiscal:years of 1968 and 1969 will be apportion-
ed among the counties. The remainder of Federal -aid secondary funds becoming avail-
able -to Wisconsin under the Federal -Aid Highway -Act of 1966 will'be used by the State
Highway Commission for the one and one-half percent required to be set aside for
financing state-wide planning and research.and for state trunk or other highway im-
provements under the direct jurisdiction of the Commission on a state-wide basis.
The method of apportionment among the counties of the $12,250,000 for the two
years is: 60/ on the basis of total highway mileage as of January 1, 1966, exclusive
of the Federal -aid Primary System and exclusive of other mileage in "urban areas"
established pursuant to the Federal -aid highway acts (places of over 5,000 population);
and 40% on the basis of the total number of motor vehicles registered in the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1966.
The FAS funds thus apportioned to a county may, within the time limitation here-
inafter provided, be matched by the county and used on qualifying improvements request-
ed by the county on county trunks or local roads and streets on the FAS system or its
extensions in urban areas, in accordance with the requirements of the Federal -aid
highway acts and amendments thereof and regulations pursuant thereto and of the es-
tablished requirements and procedures of the State Highway Commission.
April 18, 1967
On January 1, 1967, and January 1, 1968, each; $6,125,000 of the total amount of
the FAS funds apportioned to the Commission will be apportioned toi,the counties for
use on the county FAS system for fiscal years 1968 and 1969. The availability of
these funds will be subject to prevailing Federal regulations..
At the end of either calendar year 1967 or calendar year 1968, any county which
has adopted an approved improvement program which will require additional FAS funds,
over and above its proportionate share hereinbefore allotted, may apply .to the Comm-
ission for such additional FAS funds as will be,required and/or as may be available
to complete the federal aid financing of the approved program.
The reallocation of additional funds to any county. will be contingent upon the
availability of unencumbered Federal Aid Secondary funds. In the event there is a
reduction in the availability of 1966 Federal Highway Act funds in the manner des-
cribed in the accompanying cover letter then the provisions of these paragraphs as
they relate to additional funds to the counties will become null and void, and any
unencumbered balances of 1966,Federal Aid Secondary funds will.be expended at the
discretion of -the Commission, in a manner deemed best for the improvement of the
State's Secondary System considered as a whole system.
The period of availability for the use of a county's regular allotment as here-

My Dear Sir:

Please bring the following matter to the attention of the members of the Bayfield
County Board.
Marengo Lake, located in the Town of Lincoln, Bayfield County, is a good source
of tax revenue.as there are many cottages there and more being added each year.
There are two public boat'land gsa.nd many people use the lake for fishing and other
recreation.
Marengo River feeds and drains this lakel. In late years the water level has
lowered considerably because the natural barriers in the river have been washed out.
I would like to suggest that this could be improved a great deal by replacing
this barrier with a few loads of rock at the Koffers gravel pit,.sufficient to raise
the water about 2 feet.
As it i's now, the lake is so low that weeds are growing up to the surface of
the water in the center of the lake which hampers fishing and boating.
If this continues a few more years, the value of'these properties will be greatly
reduced. If there is'anything I can do to help the situation please let me know, -
as it is needed badly.
Yours truly

Dear'Mr. Frankie:
This will confirm the results of an inspection which was recently made of the
Highway Department radio tower and Sheriff Department radio tower.
The following are the recommendations made as a result of this inspection:
URGENT
1. Both of these towers are currently in the open and are attractive to the public,
especially children. It is recommended that the area around these towers be securely
fenced to prevent people from entering this area. Any gate that was put in the fence
should be -kept securely locked®
2. The guide wires on the sheriff's department tower should be securely clamped
at the point where they are connected to the hooks on the concrete anchors. The nuts
on these clamps should be brazed to prevent their removal.
If you have any questions regarding the above recommendations, please let me
know. '

Bayfield County Board
Bayfield County Court House
Washburn, Wisconsin 54891
Gentlemen:
With Sheriff Embertson's approval, The Tomlinson Auto Service, 1022 East Second
Street, Ashland, Wisconsin, requests authorization to have their three wreckers es-
tablished as authorized emergency vehicles in Bayfield County to conform with the
State Statutes Section 347.25 (1) regarding the use of red lights for emergency purpos-
es. The reason I'm just now requesting this is that up until January 1, 1966 all
wreckers were considered emergency vehicles, and were permitted to have red lights on
them, but because of the abuse of a few operators, the state assembly ruled wreckers
could=not have red lights unless authorized by city or county governing bodies such
as yourself.
In the past years, we have been called on, in many cases, when it was necessary
to proceed to these accidents in order to render assistance in lifting or moving an
object to save human lives. We have also assisted the City of Ashland Police Depart-
ment and the Ashland County Sheriff Department, along with the Bayfield County Sheriff
Department in traffic control at the scene of traffic accidents and other emergencies.
We are also the only authorized 24 hour wrecker service doing business for the
following garages and body shops in Ashland:
Ashland Body Works
Ashland Motor Company
B & M Garage
Brown & Young Motors
Egan Chev. - Olds. Sales
Johnson Auto Body
Larson Buick - Pontiac

Full co-operation has been given to me -.by -`the previous mentioned departments and
I have their approval in requesting this authorization.

urging the passage of Bills 51A and 21S to increase the guaranteed valuation per
pupil to $40,000 in 1967-1968 and to $42,000 in 1968-69.
If these bills are not passed, the great State of Wisconsin will have taken a
step away from the principle of equalization of educational opportunities for all of
'the students of the State as the rapidly increased costs of education will have to be
absorbed by an already heavily burdened property tax.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED, That the Bayfield County Board is on record as opposing
