Dear Mr, Pajala:
Thank you very much for the opportunity to discuss questions concerning the dispos-
ition of county's noncurrent records and to examine the storage areas in the Court
House. .,Mr. Jallings and I appreciate very much the time you, Mr. Rude and the
other county officers spent with us and we look forward to futute visits to Washburn.
The enclosed letter to the Board briefly presents our proposal. 'As I mention in
that letter I would be pleased to appear before the Boards perhaps in November as

dar as soon as is convenient for you in order to coordinate my trip wi-th other work

Mr. Walter Barningham
County Board Chairman
Bayfield, Wisconsin 54814
I Dear Mr. Barningham:
The purpose of this letter is to request the officers of Bayfield County to consider
N transfer of the county s permanently valuable, noncurrent records to the State
Historical Society of Wisconsin for deposit in its Area Research Center at Northland
T College. Transfer of such records may be accomplished under authority of Wis. Stats.
44.09 and 44.10 which instruct the Society to provide an orderly, uniform state-wide
system for the retention and preservation of important court, county and local
d public records on a manageable basis and under proper professional care -in the region
of origin"
Records transferred to the State Historical Society will be properly arranged,
labelled catalogued, and laced in the Area Research Center for p , g p permanent reser-
vation under good environmental conditions. Transfer of these records not only
�` assures their preservation but also makes them accessible to a broad range of re-
, searchers studying local or regional problems. The county, of course, could borrow
I back any record necessary for extended use' in the courthouse.
_Iil�' Many county and local governments have transferred records to the State Historical
cj"�� Society. Ashland County, for example, has transferred a large body of materials
including original Board proceedings and many Circuit Court records. The enclosed
copies of a recent article in Wisconsin Counties provide additional information
and I would be very pleased to meet with the Board to discuss this proposal in
greater detail.
Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to working with you in the
future.
Sincerely,
John A. Fleckner, Assistant Archivist

Bayfield, Wisconsin 54814
August 21, 1973
Mr. Edward Pajala
County Clerk, Bayfield County
Washburn, Wisconsin 54891
Dear Mr. Pajala:
In May three persons interested in establishing a Bayfield Historical Society sent
an application for affiliation to the State Historical Society, Madison. We were
surprised to receive certification of our affiliation on the basis of Bayfield County
Historical Society.
September 20,1973
There are several advantages in accepting this affiliation wording:
1. This could function as a unit embracing ALL communities which have
any interest in historicalpreservation of any sort here in the county.
2. Affiliation would therefore only need to be from community to the county
level.
3. Each community could concentrate on its own special identity in'the to-kal'
county picture.
4. Each local group would select its own interests and goals and be using
its own funds and resources under its own plans.
5. Should one or two local groups suddenly lose interest, an over-all group
is still maintained to which they may return later if wished.
Beyond these specified advantages, I see one which I believe should have high priority
with the county officials. With no further loss of time and with minimal expense,
the unrecorded original documents, diaries, maps, oral information, etc. now less-
ening with each passing day, could be steered to Madison where it could be micro-
filmed or otherwise properly be preserved for all who have interest in it. By
informing each community of such services, many items,might become available for
loaning for this purpose.
It takes a plan and a leader, at least, to accomplish such a program. Then there
must be a place for working with adequate filing and clerical tasks. I think that
I might volunteer some time for'.this and with other "senior citizens" who might
likewise volunteer, the personnel problem would be solved.. The remaining problems
would involve minimal expenses. Would the county board meet these? The affiliation
has already been established!
Respectfully,
Marjorie F. Benton
Moved'by W. Johnson and seconded by Mammoser to receive the foregoing communi-
cation and place it .on file.
Mrs. Benton was present and she advised the board that Mr. Lyle Cowley would
present information concerning Bayfield County's affiliation with the State Hist-
orical Society. Mr. Cowley was then given the floor and he explained to the board
the importance of organizing a county historical:. society. He explained in detail
the procedure for forming the society and stated that some funds would be required
for material purchases and he also stated that it would be necessary to arrange for
office space.'
MOTION NO. 17a
Moved by Rondeau and seconded by Justice that Bayfield County go on -record in
support of the Bayfield County Historical Society. Motion carried.
The following resolution was read: No. 18
WHEREAS, the Bayfield County Board did.,at their November 1972 annual meeting,
increase the salaries of county courthouse employees in the amount of $30.00 per
month, and
WHEREAS, a separate resolution was also adopted by the County Board at the
November meeting providing that said increase whould apply to certain regular part
time employees, and
WHEREAS, said increase did not apply to salaries paid certain part time employees
presently employed in the office of the Bayfield County Register of Deeds, Bayfield
County Treasurer, and the Bayfield County Clerk of Courts, and
70
September 20. 1973
WHEREAS, a request has now.been made to the Personnel Committee by Earl Pedersen,
Register of Deeds, Nick Pristash, Treasurer, and Lois Arntsen, Clerk of Courts, that
the salary increase be made to apply to the salaries paid to Venette Nelson and
Lorraine Warren, and
WHEREAS, the Personnel Committee of the county board does believe'that Venette
Nelson and Lorraine Warren are.well qualified and experienced part time employees
and therefore should be entitled to said increase in pay, now therefore be it
RESOLVED, that the aforementioned employees be given the benefit of the salary
increase and that their daily rate of pay as part time employees be adjusted to
reflect the $30.00 per month increase given -to regular courthouse employees.

The following report of the Executive Committee was read: No. 20
This report of the Executive Committee is in compliance with a motion of the
i
i
County Board relative to a request by the Town of Iron River to purchase Lot 5 Block 1
of the Original Plat of Iron River.
We find that Bayfield County took a tax deed on the above mentioned lot on
April 30, 1973.
We further find that on June 148 1973, LeRoy Hanson, owner and.operator of the
' l
� 1
Hanson Hardware inquired about said lot. We also find that the building owned by
LeRoy Hanson extends almost to the boundary of Lot 5 Block 1 and that the rear
\4
entrance to said building is from a privately owned lot to theeast of the building
owned by Mr. Hanson and access to Mr. Hanson's building could be cut off by the
owner of the lot through which Mr. Hanson now has access to his building.
The Committee further finds that said Lot 5 Block 1 is a lot 25 feet by 130 feet
and it is the -opinion of the Committee that the lot would not be large enough to use
10
as a parking lot which is the intended use by the Town of Iron River.

it is the recommendation of the Executive Committee of the Bayfield County Board
that the request of the Town of Iron River to purchase said Lot 5 Block 1, Original

The following report was read: No. 27
The request of the Town of Clover, Bayfield County, Wisconsin to purchase the
NW4 SE-1-4 of Section 21, Township 50 North, Range 7 West for a public purpose for the
consideration of the delinquent taxes p Qs interest has been considered by the
Executive Committee of the County Board.
As the request did not arrive in time to be presented to the July meeting of the
County Board, the Committee felt it necessary to expedite: the matter and prepare a
report to the County Board at the September meeting. together with the request of.the
Town of Clover.
The Bayfield County cruiser's report of the property, dated June 3, 1971, indi-
cates that there may be a possible gravel deposit on the land. Subsequent investi-
gation by the Highway Department confirms the report of the county cruiser in ref-
erence to gravel.
Due to the scarcity of gravel, especially in the northern part of Bayfield County,
it is the recommendation of the Executive Committee that the request of the Town of
Clover to purchase the NW4 SEA-4 of Sec. 21-50-7 be denied.
