Dear Mr. Pajala: Reply to: Mosinee Industrial Forest Solon,Springs, Wisconsin 54873 The present "Crusade" in conservation seems to be the damnation of all clear cutting of timber stands. While this may be a good practice in certain instances, it certainly does not apply to all species, and in fact is very harmful to the future of many of our Lake States timber stands. In our own area, spruce, aspen, and jack pine ar°eprime examples of timber types which do not lend themselves to selective cutting, and to attempt the same invites chaos because of the invasion of scrub species. The attached bulletin on clearcutting gives a factual explanation of the of reasons for various types of timber harvest, and will undoubtedly be^interest to you. Sincerely, Terrence F.

The following communication was read: No. 16 State of Wisconsin January 29, 1971 County.Clerk Bayfield County Dear Sir: Department of Transportation Federal Aid Secondary Highway Funds Federal Aid Highway Act of 1970 Under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1_970, Federal Aid Secondary Highway Funds will be available to Wisconsin in the amount of approximately $9.,.242,217. for each of the fiscal years 1972 and 1973. The plan for the distribution and administration of the Federal Aid Secondary Funds becoming available to Wisconsin under the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1970,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 1-964, 1966, and 1968. The provisions of the plan were reviewed by Mr. Robert Mortensen, Executive Secretary of the Wisconsin County Boards Association, on January 27, 1971. The 1970 Federal Highway Act Secondary Funds apportioned for your county for the two fiscal years 1972 and 1973 are as follows: February 9, 1971 County Bayfield Total 2-Year Apportionment $185,200. Your attention is directed to the fact that the availability of federal fund obligation authority has been subject to considerable "stop and go" manipulation in the past years. At present federal funds are obligated on a quarterly quota basis through June 30, 1971. Therefore, the exact month in which the Commission may be able to authorize ,you to proceed with a construction project or the exact month in which:-.you:..mdy:- be `,reimbursed for right of way acquisition will be subject to such obligation limitations as applied to the state-wide federal aid financed highway con- struction program. These funds may, subject to the above stated reservation, within the time limitation 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 apart of the Federal Aid Secondary Highway System or upon its extensions into urban 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 reservation set forth above, which can be determined only after the total programs of all counties are known, up to a total of a county's 2-year apportionment may be used in one year. Now, more than ever before, long range program planning is nec- essary so that counties may have their engineering completed to the stage which will permit them to take advantage of federal aid funds as they become available. Requests for the programming of projects using 1970 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 Secon- dary System to utilize the funds apportioned to your county. The program requests by your county highway committee, submitted through the district office will be sub- ject to review and approval by the Commission. Please bring this matter to the attention of your county board at its next session. Sincerely B. E. Gehrmann Secretary Moved by Mammoser and seconded by Berweger that the foregoing communication be received and placed on file. Motion carried. February..99 1971 The following Communication was read: No. 17 METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION AND ADMINISTRATION OF FEDERAL AID SECONDARY HIGHWAY FUNDS AVAILABLE TO WISCONSIN UNDER THE FEDERAL AID HIGHWAY ACT OF 1970 Adopted by the State Highway Commission, January 1970 Federal -Aid Highway Act of 1970 Federal -aid secondary highway funds authorized by the Federal -Aid. Highway Act of 1970 and to be available for Wisconsin are tentatively estimated to be as follows: Normal ABC Rural For fiscal year 1972 (approximate) $$8,020,698. $192219519. For fiscal year 1973.(estimated) 89020;698. 1,221,519. Totals $$16,0419396. $2,4439038. A sum of $12,400,000 for'the two fiscal years of 1972 and 1973 will be apport- ioned among the counties. The remainder of Federal -aid secondary funds becoming available to Wisconsin under the Federal -aid Highway A-ct'of 1970 will be used by the Sta-te 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 improvements under the direct jurisdiction of the Commission on a statewide basis. The method of apportionment among the counties of the $$12,400,000 for the two years is: 60% on the basis of total highway mileage as of January 1, 1970, exclus- ive of the Federal -aid Primary System and exclusive of other mileage in "urban areas" established pursuant to the Federal -aid highway acts (places of over 5,.000 population); and 40% on the basis of the total number of motor vehicles registered•in the fiscal year ending June 50, 1970. The FAS funds thus apportioned to a county may, within -the time limitation hereinafter provided, be matched by the county and used on qualifying improvements requested by the county on county trunks or local roads and streets on the FAS sys- tem or its extensi.ons in urban areas, in accordance with the requirements of the Federal -aid highway acts and amendments thereof and regulations pursuant thereto and of the established requirements and procedures of the -State Highway Commission. On January 1, 1971, and January 1,, 1972, each; $$6,200,000 of the total amount of the-FAS.fund.,s apportioned to the Commission will be -apportioned to the counties for use on the county FAS system for fiscal years 1972 and 1973. The availability of these funds will be subject to prevailing Federal regulations. At the close of the first fiscal year following each allotment the Commission will review each.individual county's balance of its allotment "and, in cooperation with the county, determine the extent the county has formulated plans to use this allotment on the County F.A.S. System. If the county has no such plan or an approv- ed program and indicates it has no interest in providing a plan or program, then 50% of the balance outstanding to the credit of the county will revert to the Com- mission for state-wide use. At the end of either calendar year 1971 or calendar year 1972, 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 February 9, 1971 the Commission 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 1970 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 1970 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- in provided will be through the calendar years 1971 and 1972.

The The following Communicati-on was read together with a resolution: No. 28 WISCONSIN COUNTY POLICE DEPUTY SHERIFFS AND RADIO OPERATORS ASS'N. November 7, 1970 Edward A. Pajarla, County Clerk. Washburn, Wis. Dear Sir: Enclosed find a copy of a resolution passed by the LaCrosse county board 10-15-70. It is designed to.keep traffic law enforcement at the local level and under local control by assuming primary but not exclusive jurisdiction on all rural highways ex- cept the interstate system. The Wisconsin County Police, Deputy Sheriffs and Radio Operators Association does not believe increasing the size and authority of state government is the best way to approach the problem. For this -reason we are attempt- ing to get each county board in Wisconsin to adopt the provisions of -the attached resolution before January 1, 1971. In 1969 legislation wa-s proposed which if enacted would have given the State Patrol primary jurisdiction on all federal and state highways, leaving only county and township roads for local enforcement agencies. I'm sure you can envision the loss of local control -and increased costs had this measure passed. The State Patrol was formed and has since been enlarged for the stated purpose of assisting county patrols. However, in recent years there have been repeated attempts to take over completely, eliminating county patrol. I request that this letter be presented to your county board for their discuss- ion and action at their next session. Please advise me of any action they may take. Thank You, Charles H. Louis, Secretary WHEREAS, Rural traffic law enforcement has long been the subject of discussion between legislators, police agencies and governmental agencies; and in the interest of greater highway safety, efficiency and economy in rural traffic law enforcement, and to avoid conflicts in duplication of patrol and supervision,.and to comply with the National Highway Safety Act of 1966 regarding concurrent jurisdictional bound- aries and problems it isnecessary that a system be developed to implement the high- way standards and THEREFORE IT IS RESOLVED: That the Insert local enforcement agency) assume primary but not exclusive enforcement jurisdiction on all federal, state, county and township highways in county, excepting all interstate highways within county and any part of the federal, state or county trunk highway system which is located.within the corporate limits of the cities within county, IT IS FURTHER RESOLVED: That the county clerk is directed to forward a copy of this resolution to each and every Senator or Assemblyman representing any district in county.
