WHEREAS, studies have shown snowmobile trails to be a great benefit to the economy of Bayfield

Mr. Edward A. Pajala
Bayfield County Clerk
Washburn, WI 54891
Dear Ed:
Thank you very much for your letter of tl-n 17th advising me of your support for H.R.9719.
You will be interested to learn that this measure was ordered reported out of the House
Interior and Insular Affairs Committee on February 17th, but was just filed on May 7th.
I am enclosing a copy of the bill and a copy of the report for your review. As you will note,
under the provisions of H.R. 9719), Bayfield County would receive $187,614 under Alternative A.
This figure is arrived at by multiplying $.75 times the number of federal acres in the unit of
local government, not to exceed a limitation based on population, and subtract the amount of .
revenue payments received by the local government under any of the federal statutes listed in
Section 4 of the bill.
�" 58 1
June 1, 1976
This bill provides Bayfield County with more money than it is presently receiving. In fact,
under the provisions of the bill, no county could get less than they are currently receiving.
Back in January 1975, I introduced a Payments in Lieu of Taxes bill, H.R. 1343, a copy of which I
am also enclosing. Although my bill would have given the county more than the amount provided by
H.R. 9719, I am pleased that the Committee acted on this most important matter. The bill is, in
my opinion, a step in the right direction. Hopefully, the'bill will come before the full House for
consideration very soon.
With best wishes,
Sincerely yours,
David R. Obey
Your Congressman
