Bayfield County Board
Walter Barningham, chairman
Bayfield Co. Courthouse
Washburn, Wise. 54891
Gentlemen:
The recent influx of forest products buyers into this area and the resultant acceleration of
timber harvest is causing considerable concern among many people in the northernmost counties
of our state.
The Chequamegon Concerned Citizens (CCC) urge the Bayfield County Board to'immediately evaluate
this situation and develop in our county a sustained yield forest harvest plan.
Chequamegon Concerned Citizens
Box 485
Ashland, Wisconsin 54806
similar letter sent to Ashland Co. Bd.
Moved by Seidel, seconded by Howell to receive the communication and place it on
file. Motion carried.
William Hepner, Forest Administrator, appeared before the Board and reported on the sale
of forest products in the county. He informed the Board that the actual timber harvest in
forestry
Bayfield County is even slightly less than the projected annual harvest in the 10 year plan.
He further stated it may appear that more timber is being harvested today due to the fact that
most of the pulp and other timber is transported by truck rather than by rail and also due to
the fact that much of the forest products are transported to Ashland and consequently many more
loads are seen locally on the road than were seen several years ago.
The following Forestry Ordinance was presented: No. 17

January 4, 1974
Mr. Edward A. Pajala
Bayfield County Clerk
Washburn, Wis. 54891
Dear Mr. Pajala:
On January 12, 1973, I wrote to you requesting your recommendations for a proper name of
a feature located in Bayfield County. We received your replies dated January 17, 1973, and
March 23, 1973, recommending Twenty Mile Creek.
Since that time our field personnel made.a field investigation and contacts were made with
local residents in the area. It seems to be the desire of local residents and their opinion
that the proper name for this feature is T1Pearl Creek". I am attaching a list of comments
received in this regard.
Therefore, the State Geographic Names Council at a recent meeting in Madison approved Pearl
Creek as being the older, established name for this feature. Attached is a description.
We would like you to again approach your County Board of Supervisors with the.revi.sed name
so we may proceed in submitting the proposal to the U. S. Board on Geographic.Names. It is
our strong desire to select the proper name for this creek based on common local usage and the
most well established name. Unless we receive a report on your action before February 28, 1974,
or a valid reason why no action was taken, we will consider our action as meeting with your
approval and will submit the name Pearl Creek to the U. S. Board on Geographic Names accordingly.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Very truly yours,
Joseph P. Corbin, Sec.

C NOTIFIED:
An investigation was conducted to determine desires of local residents regarding naming of
Twenty Mile, Twentymile or Pearl Creeks in Bayfield County. The following local persons
were contacted:
Mr. James E. Nettleton, Mason, Wisconsin, who surveyed the area in the past. He indicated he
preferred Pearl Creek because it was the original name and would be more appropriate.'
Vic Wallin, Grandview., former assemblyman and local resident since 1904. Indicated he pre-
ferred Pearl Creek as it was called Pearl Creek many years before it was changed.
Frank Nicotera, Grandview, local resident. Preferred Pearl Creek but it didn't make too
much difference to him.
Warren Dickrell, Grandview, Town Chairman -Grandview, indicated preference for Pear.l.Creek
over Twenty Mile Creek. He also indicated SoBayCo Club would have no opposition to change
to Pearl.
f Le] Lq
Marvin Kern, owns farm on the creek preferred Twenty Mile Creek but it didn't make too much
difference to him.
The above was discussed with Conservation Warden �eorge Phillips, local warden. He indicated
in his contacts with local people Peark Creek was preferred.
It is my opinion, as well as George Phillips, that the proper heading is in Section 8, T44N RSW.
We also believe the most appropriate name would be Pearl Creek. The origin of Pearl Creek
could not be found. J. L. Rieckhoff - Brule
It appears Twenty Mile'Creek as well as Eighteen Mile Creek was named by their distance from
Cable, Wisconsin by railroad line. Most comments from local people indicated Twenty Mile was
not as appropriate because many people assume the Twenty Mile means the creek is twenty miles
long - which it is not.
Also the stream is at this time called Pearl Creek on Federal Forest Service map.
Moved by Berweger, seconded by Carter to approve the name of Pearl Creek.
A discussion followed.
Berweger withdrew his motion with the consent of Carter.
Moved by Renoos, seconded by Mammoser-that final action be withheld until the February
26th meeting. Motion carried.

Mr. Edwin P. Dashner
Bayfield Co. Dir.
of Social Services
Washburn, Wis. 54891
Dear Sir:
It is time that the head of the Bayfield County Social Services Department and the Bayfield
County Board show some action in the matter of Mrs. Frieda Smith of Barnes. The Barnes Town
Board will cooperate.
This woman walked over a mile in below zero weather to reach a phone and told Mr. Elmer
Peterson, Supervisor and Mr. Roy McMinn, Chairman, that she was sick and needed help.
This was on December 31, 1973. Mrs. Smith lives alone and has no means of transportation
or phone.
Mr. McMinn and Mr. Peterson went to the Smith "home" and found the woman very ill. She had
written to a Mr. Clinton Miller, associated with the Social Service Department, but had had
no response or action.
Mr. McMinn called Mr. Dashner at his home on January 1,.1974, but this call did not bring any
immediate action. Mr. Dashner suggested that Mr. -McMinn call Mr. Ray Kyle, a Volunteer aid.
Mr. Kyle was called and his wife came the following day, January 2, 1974, and took Mrs. Smith
to the Doctor in Hayward.
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Kyle have gone out of their way over a period of about 3 years and should
be paid more than their mileage for this emergency call. They have certainly gone beyond
the duties of a volunteer worker.
This situation demands action by a trained case worker, with instructions to go into the matter
fully and follow up with the necessary and indicated action. If this matter, as it seems, is
beyond the scope of the local and county, perhaps we should ask for some help from the State
of Wisconsin.
Very truly yours,

the situation and there does not appear to be any serious problem at the present time.

-The NACHPO Board of Directors has amended its bylaws to include a representative from each of our
eight county boards of supervisors to serve on our Board of Directors. We wanted to expedite this
change, at the request of Mr. Charles Tollander, Chairman, Burnett County Board of Supervisors, but
amending our bylaws required full board action at two consecutive meetings. Since the Board meets
bi7monthly, the final approval came at our February 20, 1974, meeting.
The selection of the board member is the perogative of the county board chairman. Possibly your
recommendation for the board member designee must be approved by the entire county board. It
would be opportune of the NACHPO board member representing Bayfield County could be selected before
the end of March, as we will be conducting a board member orientation meeting on comprehensive
health planning in late March or early April in Superior.
Your choice for this position could be the health committee chairman, a board member who is
serving on the 51.42 Unified Mental Health Board, or a member of the county board who has a
special interest in health. I want to emphasize that this selection is yours, and the above
are suggestions only.
In order to provide for the proper turnover ratio of board members (no more than 25% per year)
and a limit on the number of full terms (two-fourtyear terms) the Bayfield County representative
should be appointed for an initial 1 year term.
Please call me at 634-4897 concerning any questions you may have on the county board member
selection to our Board of Directors. NACHPO is looking forward to a stronger and most effective
relationship with county gocaernment.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
BAYFIELD COUNTY
Edward A. Pajala, Co. Clerk
Courthouse
Washburn, Wisconsin
Dear Mr. Pajala:
No. 11
Iron River, Wisconsin
Feb. 23, 1974
,As instructed in our conversation last Friday, I am making the following request to be
presented to the County Board.
The Bayfield County Historical Society requests that the society be allowed to make use of
the old Law Library room off the'old court room and also the old jury room. As pictured at
this time, the old jury room could serve as a work room and display room for some kinds of
materials. The law library room, because of its location and the fact that it could be
locked for security, would serve as storage space for collected materials.
The Board of Directors of the society feel that it is essential that visible evidence of
progress be made available as soon as possible to justify the organization, and the avail-
ability of these rooms would greatly improve chances of this progress.
Thanks for your attention.
L. M. Gowley,'Pres.

FROM: Judith Polich
In behalf of the Drummond High School and Junior High School students who visited the last
County Board Meeting, I would like to thank the Bayfield County Board of Supervisors, for
generously taking time from their busy meeting agenda to welcome these students and to answer
their questions.
Most of them had never visited the County Court House or observed the Board in session. It
was an exciting learning experience for them.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Bayfield, Wise. 54814
Dear Mr. Barningham:
2 7 S-
February;26, 1974.
I recently received the 1973 real estate tax statement payable in 1974. The amount has dropped
two years in a row; in fact it is down about one third from what it was for 1971, the principal
decreases occurring in both the county and local mill rates.
I presume revenue sharing has had something to do with this, but in any .event I would like to
express my appreciation to someone and you seem to be the most obvious person as Chairman of the
Bayfield County Board.
Maybe some times your responsibility produces something besides grief!
Sincerely
Judson Bemis
