The following communications with reference to a new Memorial Hospital were read:
No. 6b
November 12, 1968
Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
Bayfield County Courthouse
Washburn, Wisconsin 54891
Gentlemen:
I understand that there is a proposal to build a new hospital in the City of
Washburn as a memorial to the servicemen of all wars from Bayfield County who gave
their lives for their country.
In support of the proposal for a new hospital I wish to state that as Veterans
Service Officer I have used the Washburn Hospital for our veterans in every possible
way and.wi.th the new facilities that are proposed it certainly should be a step
forward to better the service already rendered. I am proud of the service that the
veterans from Bayfield County get at the local hospital. This service is available
night and day and it is a great asset to my department to know that we have such a
good facility available for our use.
I further understand that if the new hospital is to be built the present hos-
pital will be us$d perhaps for a nursing home which is badly needed, not. only for
veterans, but.for the elderly people of our county. Presently I have three veterans
that should be in a nursing home instead of in a rest home. But the problem is
where are we to send them when there are no beds available. _This is becoming an
ever -increasing -need for our people as the years pass along.
Any favorable consideration that.you may give to this new hospital in memory of
our servicemen will be greatly appreciated.
November 8, 1968
Executive Committee
Bayfield County Board
Washburn, Wisconsin
Gentlemen:
Yours very truly
Thomas E. Anderson
Veterans Service Officer
I would like to present my thoughts in regard to a new Memorial Hospital in
the Washburn area.
The greatest health need at present in our county is more beds for those patients
needing extended or custodial care. The waiting list is growing steadily. A new
hospital would free the.: present building for this purpose, representing more em-
ployment and wages to the community.
A small, modern hospital will always have a place for screening purposes and
care of the moderately ill patient. This is a selling point for -the community when
tourists, either summer or winter, find their needs met with friendly, personal
treatment.
If Bayfield County loses its hospital in planning for a single, large hospital
in the. Ashland area, it will mean a hardship for the northern half of the county
since they must travel twice as far for the care.they need. I_ feel the South Shore
_..
area would turn to Superior and Duluth.
At present we have good coverage of our health needs for the Indians in Red
November 1211968
Cliff but I question if they would make the effort to get into Ashland since trans-
portation is always a problem.
As your county nurse, I can anticipate a hardship for my programs for we would
lose the direction of a resident medical advisor. Clinics for school children would
be dependent on a doctor to staff them from the Ashland area.
Can you anticipate the doctor being freely available to the needs of the County
Rest Home if he must travel from Ashland?
Would you like to see the area druggists depart and be replaced -by novelty shops
as has happened in Iron Rivers
Let°s solve our needs locally for the next decade and be able to listen calmly
to plans. of comprehensive area health planning for the dim future.
Sincerely,
(Mrs.)Gladys Kendall, R. N.
Bayfield County Nurse

Honorable Members
Bayfield County Board of Supervisors
Washburn, Wisconsin 54891
Gentlemen:
As a concerned resident of Bayfield County, I am most interested in keeping a
hospital in the City of Washburn.
.As the Administrator of Bayfield County Rest Home, which is located in the City
of Washburn, I am deeply concerned.
We have had the best of relations with the Washburn Hospital. It has been most
convenient to have the hospital close at hand. All x-rays and laboratory work, when
ordered by the physician, can'be done promptly and conveniently. We have been able
to call on them.to help us with many of our problems.
It.would create a hardship not only for the residents of the R-ast Home; but the
personnel as well., if we did not have a hospital in the city.
Respectfully,
Edith M. Nolander, R. N.
Superintendent
Bayfield County Rest Home

Gentlemen:
I am hereby submitting a request for an appropriation of $750.00. to the County
Veterans Service Commission fund for the year of 1969.
As of January 1, 1968 we had a balance of $$1348.27 in the fund and our expenses so
far this year have totaled $$226.39 leaving a balance of $1121.88 in the account. An
itemized statement of our account is enclosed,
Our expenses have been down this year because the economy of the county has con -
tinned to be good. But it is hard to know just when we will have an emergency. There-

Your consideration on this request will be greatly appreciated.

Washburn, Wisconsin 54891
Attention: Finance Committee
Gentlemen:
Your representatives to the North Central Guidance Clinic Board have already
reported to you our budget request of eight thousand dollars for 1969. They have asked
me to reinforce this request by a formal written statement.
As you know, 1968 has found us with a severe shortage of staff caused by the
resignation of Mrs. Shelton in May to accept employment at the Chippewa County Mental
Health Clinic. The ever increasing cost of contracting such professionally trained
people is borne out by our recent unsuccessful attempt to hire a Chief Psychiatric
Social Worker. Obviously, it is only through the addition of these personnel that the
clinic will be able to adequately service our five county area - both in the clinic
proper as well as at the local level. Hopefully, with adequate staff, this local level
service will be expanded to include at least part-time units to help overcome some.of
our geographic problems. There remains the unavoidable consequence of increasing salar-
ies, the increasing burden of more costly retirement and social security programs.
These also strain our seriously taxed budget.
All county board members as well as various professional and citizen's groups
have copies of our annual report. Some of your board members, however, have expressed
interest in added help in presenting the clinic's problems to their respective county
boards. Therefore, it is appropriate to reiterate our willingness to appear at county
board and/or finance committee meetings to answer questions concerning clinic functions,
budgeting, etc. Both of our present clinic staff, Dr. Mercer and Mr. Murray, as well
as myself as board chairman, are available for such appearances. Your request may be
directed to the North Central Guidance Clinic at 682-2382 or to my office at 682-6622.
Hoping you will feel free to contact me or the clinic staff regarding any
questions you may have, I remain,
Respectfully,
A. A. Koeller, M. D.

The following Proposed Budget for the year-1969''was presented to the Board.
No.58
PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1969
TO THE HONORABLE COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned members of the Executive Committee, hereby submit our report
and recommendations for 1969.
IT A TIT A MT [)AT
The Supervisor of Assessments recommends a true value of $65,053,100.00. The
legal levy limit exclusive of debt items for County General purposes is 1,. The pro-
posed levy is $109.,680.00 below the legal limit but is an increase of $181,056.79 over
last year's levy. The contingency fund is $36,565.51 which in the committee's judgment
is adequate to cover any emergency that might arise.
FINANCE
There are some new items appearing in the Budget for the first time. The new
items under expenditures are: Apiary inspection and Highway Administration. On the
receipt side, the new items are: State collections for outside mental care and State
Aid for District Attorney. Provisions for salary increases as approved by the County
Board -are included in the Budget. Any further adjustments in salaries if approved can
be financed by transferring funds from the contingency fund. The large surplus cash
balance the county has enjoyed last year is substantially less this year. Last year's
cash surplus was $300,000.00 of which $150,000..00 was applied against the tax levy and
$150,000.00 was set aside for the Building Fund. This year's cash surplus amounted to
$90,000.00 which was all applied against the tax levy. The Executive Committee is not
offering any recommendation for financing the new proposed jail facility at Budget time.
HIGHWAYS AND BRIDGES
Highway expenditures have been financed entirely from gasoline and automobile
revenues in the past with the exception of County Bridge Aid to Districts. This year
there is $30,000.00,included in the Budget for Highway Administration and $1515.62 for
Bridge Aids for 1969.
HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
The Health and Social Service Budget is a major factor in the amount of the Budget,
especially since the Bayfield County Aid formula has been changed.
t The Rest Home continues to operate at full capacity. There is a $14,685.00 Outlay
item in the Budget for a sprinkler system for the Rest. Home. The Trustees at Pureair
after extended studies have concluded that the facility should remain a Tuberculosis
Center for the present. No solution for interim financing of the facility for a Mental
Health Center has been found. The Finance Committees of the three owner counties concur -
with the Trustees recommendation. North Central Guidance Clinic is.operating to full
capacity providing a much needed area service.
AUDIT
The 1967 Audit Report has not been completed at Pudget time. The auditing firm,
due to loss of key personnel was not able to complete the audit as in the past. We
recommend the acceptance of the audit proposed for the 1968 records. We wish to commend
the County Clerk's office for the up to date bookkeeping records and information.which
assisted the committee very much in preparing the Budget.
