The following resolution was read: No. 23
WHEREAS, the County of Bayfield constructed and has operated since 1961 a
nursing home in the City of Washburn which provides space for.thirty-two residents
only, and
WHEREAS, the Cbunty of Bayfield is one of only three counties in northern
Wisconsin which owns and operates a nursing home of the type located in the City
of Washburn, and
WHEREAS, the cost per patient -day to be incurred by the County of Bayfield in
such nursing home operation in 1970 is projected to exceed $17.00 and is substant-
ially greater than costs per patient -day of other nursing.home facilities in the
State of Wisconsin, and
WHEREAS, charges made to private patients who seek to utilize said nursing
home facility are so great as to be prohibitive and the capacity of the facility is
so small that most private patients who require the services of the type provided
by said nursing home are forced to go to private facilities in the area, and
WHEREAS, it is highly probable that operation of the facility could be done
on a more efficient and economical basis and in the better interests of a large
majority of the citizens of the County of Bayfield if such operation were by persons
or firms engaged in private business who are experienced in and familiar with hosp-
ital and nursing home practices, methods and management.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED; that the County of Bayfield nursing home,
located in the City of Washburn, be sold or leased to persons or firms engaged in

I continue to do my best in holding down the expenses without neglecting any
veteran or his dependents.
Your consideration of this request will be.greatly appreciated.

Town Board of Cable
Cable, Wisconsin 54821
Gentlemen:
In reply to your notice of October 3 relative to proposed acquisition of pri-
vate property on the Namekagon River'by the Federal Governmant under the National
Wild Rivers Bill, I wholeheartedly back the project. I believe this is the last
opportunity of preserving the lamekagon in its natural state. Already too much of
the river frontage has been subdivided, and through lack of proper zoning has re-
sulted in a conglomeration of buildings which only serve to degrade the beauty of
the Namekagon.
As far as taxes are concerned, yes, there will be an additional burden for
those property owners to assume that are not affected by the acquisition program.
However, the Federal Government is well aware of the increasing problems imposed
on local government by the amount of untaxed Government land within the boundaries
of towns, counties, and state. The recently prepared report by the Public Land
Law Review Commission submitted to the President June 20, 1970, covers this problem
of taxes in chapter 14, "Tax Immunity." Enclosed is a copy of Chapter 14 for your
review. I have no doubt that within a few years the Federal Government will enact
legislation to adequately make payments to local governments in lieu of taxes.
I have had offers to sell my property in past years to private parties. I
have turned these down in hope that eventually the Namekagon would be classified as
a Wild River. Now that it has, through the efforts of Senator nelson, the people
of Bayfield County can point with pride to the fact that partially within the con-
fines of the County are two recreational resources of National significance - the
Namekagon River and the Apostle Islands.

Dear Sirs:
Attached is a brief history of the Bratley Fur Farm as well as the major
reasons why we feel the property -should be retained by the Bratley family. We
hope the County Board of -Supervisors and the State Natural Resource Commission will
review and accept the recommendation made by the Forestry Committee to withdraw the
property from County Forest land. We certainly feel this can be handled in a man-
ner both satisfactory and beneficial to the County, State, and to the Bratley's
without legal recourse on our part.
If the County Board concurs with the Forestry Committee and recommends with-
drawal, please attach this letter and history to the application which will be
sent to the State Natural Resource Commission.
Thank you for your time and -assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Jon E. Bratley
PART I HISTORY OF -THE BRATLEY FARM:
In 1927, Herbert H. Peavey purchased the farm and had the area fenced in by
1929, for a beaver and fox fur farm. In 1938, Edwin and,Esther Bratley purchased
the farm from the -Peavey estate with the understanding that the purchase included
all the enfenced area. The Bratley's have an affidavit in their possession stating
this fact. The fence has remained in the same position for forty-one years, nine
years under Peavey ownership, and thirty-two years under Bratley ownership.
F
November 10,1970
PART II'.
Im
REASONS WHY WE FEEL THE PROPERTY SHOULD BE'RETAINED BT THE BRA I Y' S :
Unusual circumstances of this case:
1.
2.
3.
Property purchased in good faith with the understanding all the
enfenced area.was included. As stated before, we have an affida-
vit in our possession stating this fact.
We have maintained this property, pond, and fence for thirty-two
years. In this time, we have replaced fence posts, repaired the
fence, raised the fence from six to nine feet (to meet deer farm
specifications),, and brushed twenty-four foot wide areas along the
fence line. To remove such a fence and replace it in a new area
would be very expensive and -difficult because the fence is buried
1 - 116 feet below the ground and has several metal posts in con -
Crete.
The nine acres.'in question have not been used by the public or the
county for forty-one years.
4. Never during the forty-one years has this enfenced area been quest-
ioned, even when acquired by the county (forty acres below the
fence) or when the land was placed in County Forest Land.
Utilization of the property:
We hope to acquire a fish hatchery and deer farm licence with the ult-
imate goal being a game farm which would benefit the people of the
state as a whole, as well as the County. A game farm would draw people
and money to the area. As it stands now, this area in my opinion, is
in somewhat of a depressed state with the closing of DuPont, and any-
thing which may create a few jobs or draw some people and money to the
area should be considered carefully. The questionable nine acres are
essential to us because they are the winter range for our deer herd
as it provides both cover and protection. It is the only extensive
acreage of alder swamp inside the fence. The pond (which is only partly
on County land) is essential to us because it is the only place in this
waterwhed where trout thrive. Further upstream ponds have been in exist-
ance for years, but they will not support a fishery. Our explanation
is this:
1. Springs exist in bottom of present pond only,
2. Water turnover is greater and faster since the pond is at the
junction of two watersheds, one from the North and one from the
Southeast. Upstream to the Southeast watershed, the water flows
very slowly and it fast becomes warm and stagnant. Also, it
should be noted -here, that several biological-_ values will be
apparent if the Bratley's maintain the pond and property on the
questionable acreage. These are:;
a. Pond supports and maintains brook trout.
b. Birds such as the mallard, black duck, blue -wing teal, and
Hooded Merganser, breed here as well as many other species.
Unusual life using the pond edge such as the LeConte°s spar-
rows may also breed here.
3391
November iO ,.1970
C. Land and,pond supports and.maintains mammals.such.as otter,
mink, muskrat, beaver and racoon.
d. fond provides stopover point for waterfowl, shorebirds, and
other bird life. This includes all dabling ducks, ring-necked
ducks, Sora, common swipe, and many other migratory species.
To our knowledge, there is not another such area within many
miles.
3. Other advantages of the Bratley's retaining ownership are:
a. We will stock deer and game to the outside area if overpopu-
lation results, thus benefiting sportsmen.
b. Property will be on the tax rolls
Now, if the County retains ownership, I do not feel the land will be utilized
as well because:
1. Neither the Bratley's nor the County could maintain the present
pond because:
a® If we were forced to move our fence, we would have to relocate
on a line which would bisect the pond. And since the dam
(structure) is on our property, we would have to drop the pond
to approximately one third the present size. This would elim-
inate all the sedges in the North and Southeast sections of
the flowage area which is now used by waterfowl and shorebirds.
A small fishery might possibly be maintained, but not a very
good one as the present deep areas would become shallow areas
and the population and size of the fish would then digress
back to being like the mainstream, a few small fish up to the
legal size limit of five to seven inches. If the pond were
completely drained, the following would be lost:
(1) Breeding area for fish, waterfowl, and shorebirds.
(2) Stopover area for waterfowl and shorebirds.
(3) Breeding utilization area for mammals.
(4) The fish population would be nonexistant and no fish
would be able to run the stream for spawning®
b. Since there is no place to dam the pond on the County property
and since it would only pull water from the North watershed, no
pond could be maintained by the County, thus removing cover and
breeding grounds for waterfowl, shoreline birds, and mammals.
2. The addition of the nine acres which is identical to the adjacent
area .outside the fence would not significantly improve hunting,
fishing, or pasturing for hunters,- fishermen, or nearby wildlife
respectively and therefore, would not increase recreational usage.
3® The nine acres is unsuitable for tree planting because it is primar-
ily alder swamp.
In conclusion, we feel we can put this land to much better use and benefit
both the County and the State® We hope the County and the State, by considering all
the facts, will come to'the same conclusion and therefore, will recommend withdrawal.

Dear Sir
Recently I wrote to you asking about taxes that are due on a piece of property
that I have in Wisconsin (SW�/4 of SPA of.Section 11-47-9) I received a letter saying
that because of failure to pay the 1952 taxes the county took title to the property.
Upon going thru my receipts I have found receipts thru the year 1960. I have
been unable to look further, but can send you a photostat of the receipts I have if
you so desire.
I have never received any statements of taxes due nor any notification that the
property was to be sold because of lack of tax payment.
Perhaps I have been remiss in -not inquiring about this sooner but I have a full
time job, a very severe heart attackin1968, and eight children. My father gave
me this property or I should say -bought it for me when I was a great deal younger
and I am very anxious to keep it.
I would greatly appreciate any consideration that can be shown me.
The fact that I have been in the hospital 18 times in the .last 19 ye�4rs has
not always allowed me to do as I should. I am only grateful that I am well enough
to work now.
I sincerely hope that you will allow me to repurchase this property®

Dear Madam:
We have checked our records in 'reference to the above described property. We
find that Bayfield County first took a tax deed on the property on June 27, 1958,
that deed was taken on the delinquent tax of 1952, sale of 1953. We then find that
Bayfield County quit claimed the same description to John M. Cotter and wife Dorothy
in September 1960.
November 10, 1970
On December 31, 1968 a tax deed ,notice covering the 1963 sale which was for
the tax of 1962 was mailed to John M. Cotter, Granville, Ohio. It appears that
the notice was forwarded to 103 Mt. Vernon Rd., Newark, Ohio and from there it'was
returned to our office with the notation "addressee unknown". The sale was also
advertised on Jan. 2, 9 and 16, 1969.
According to the notice in your letter you found the tax receipts for the
years 1961 and 1963, apparently you had overlooked paying the 1962 tax which was
the tax that the last deed was taken on.
Bayfield County has a policy whereby we allow the original owner to redeem
property on which we have taken a tax deed providing the request is made within five
years. We suggest that you make application to the Bayfield County Board.through
our office offering to repurchase the description. The consideration for purchase
would be the amount of delinquent tax that had accrued against the property to-
gether with other expenses plus an estimated amount for the tax that would have
been levied against the property for the years it: was not on the tax roll.
If you have any further questions regarding this matter you may contact our
office.

Dear Sirs:
I
The Town Board of the Town of Barnes wish to protest the proposed equalized
valuation of over $81000,000..:'for the year 1970 as determined by the State Assessors.
We feel this figure was based in large part on'sales by Potawatomi Estates
(Juneau band Co.) which do not truly reflect the land values in the Town of Barnes
due to the fact that they were providing services and amenities in addition to real
estate in their sales prices.
Many of their sales were bought back by Potawatomi Estates due to unsatisfied
buyers and Juneau Land Co. becoming involved with the Wisconsin Real Estate Exam -
fining Board.
We strongly feel that the Board should look into this situation very thoroughly
before approving this proposed equalized valuation figure.

PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE YEAR 1971
TO THE HONORABLE COUNTY
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Gentlemen:
We, the undersigned,members'of the Executive Committee, hereby submit our
budget report and recommendations for 1971.
VALUATION
The Supervisor of Assessments recommends a true value of $80,231,100.00
which as of the date of this report has not been accepted by the County Board.
Any change in the figure could and would affect the budget. The legal levy limit
exclusive of debt items for County general purposes is 196. The proposed levy is
$72,874.29 below the legal limit but is an increase of $101,275.49 over last years
budget. The contingency fund is $30,000.00 which is $20,000.00 more than last
year. The reason is explained elsewhere in this report. The Levy increase over
last year is made up of, in addition to the increase in the contingency fund of
$20,000.00; a $10,000.00 increase in the State Special Charges and about $72,000.00
increase in the Medical Assistance Program.
HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES
This year the Budget reflects the full cost of the Medical Assistance Program.
Because of this the Social Services budget has a substantial increase in the bud-
get figures. But actually there is a $72,000.00 increase in the Medical Assistance
Program as we have indicated earlier. The committee felt that the budget should
November 12, 1970
represent the true cost of this program in our county as a matter of information
to the County Board and all taxpayers as well.
The Rest Home is being operated at full capacity and as efficiently as possible.
Meetings with the Board of Trustees have indicated that little or no savings can be
effected if the facility was leased or operated on some other arrangement other than
a county operation and still providing the same level of service.
The North Central Guidance Clinic Budget is about the same as last year. All
five counties are participating -again this year.
HIGHWAYS & BRIDGES
The Highway Budget continues to need the support of county -funds. Aside from
the bridge aids of $5,257.00, there is $35,000.00 proposed for Highway,Administrat-
ion, $48,000.00 for road construction on County Highway "A", and $50.,000.00 for
Bridge Construction on County Highway "F".
FINANCE
You will note the Bond indebtedness for the hospital is offset on the revenue
side by the same amount. The. committee was informed that all obligations and agree-
ments with the Hospital Ass'n. have been met to date without any cost to the county.
Our cash surplus is declining as we have indicated in our last years report.
The primary reason is that because of more accurate information the Health & Social
Service's budget is more realistic, and therefore is not overbudgeted which has
resulted in large cash surpluses in the past. This year's cash surplus applied to
the tax levy is $45,000.00 as compared to $80,000.00 last year. Next year we ant-
icipate little or no cash surplus. We are not recommending any additions to the
building fund.
The contingency fund is proposed at $30,000.00 to provide for any increases in
salaries or fringe benefits. It is the understanding of this committee that such
requests will -[be made.
AUDIT -
The 1969 audit report has been completed at budget time which assisted the
Committee in preparing the budget. A copy of the audit report is available at the
County Clerk's office or from any member of the Executive Committee for your in-
spection. All department budgets are about the same as last year with the exception
of a few minor increases other than those we have referred to elsewhere in this
report.
We recommend the acceptance of the Auditor's proposal to audit the 1970 records.
The Committee wishes to thank the County Clerk's office and the Auditor for
their assistance.

rect and that said certificates described in said report are illegal and void and
