travel, but they use instead what
is known as the River Eoute, and
your committee recommend that the
county abandon said county road and
adopt said River Road from Cable
to the Sawyer County Line, as part
OF the prospective state highway
system. From Drummond to Barnes,
the road is in excellent condition.
From Barnes to Iron River, we found
the road in good condition. From
Iron River to the Brule, the road
is III fair condition. From MuSkeg
to the Douglas Line, the road is to
be relocated on section line by the
state engineer. We found the Boule-
ward road in fair condition, except
in few places. From Iron River
to Port Wing, the road is in pretty
tair condition in dry weather, but it
needs regarding. From Port Wing
to Herbster on the new location,
the culvert is complete and about
5000 yards of dirt to be moved
will complete it. Balance OF the
road is in fair condition. There
is to be steel bridge at the
cranberry River next year,
From Herbeter to Cornucopia the
road is in good condition. From
Cornucopia to Washburn, the road
is in tair condition. From Corn
ucopin to Bayfield,, the Sand River
Road is not in good condition.
Part of the road was built this
summer and will be open for travel
this fall. Balance Of the road will
be rebuilt as fast as funds are
available for it. From Bayfield, to
Washburn the road is in good condi
ton.
The traction engine owned by the
County did not give satisfaction and
broke down completely the last part
of June and delayed the work on
the road between Grandview and
Drummond, and must be replaced
before another seasons work.

The following resolution was pre-
scented:
To the Honorable County Board of
Bayfield, County, Wis, in Annual
session the 24th day of November,
1914.
Gentlemen: While Bayfield, County
is coming to the front as a dairy
and fruit country, and development
is reasonably rapid, yet it is be-
lieved that the county is not receiv-
ing the real legitimate advertising
it is entitled to, especially during
the State and County Fairs held in
the state and adjoining states, and
believing that a reasonable amount
of money spent directly by the
county in advertising would be money
we'll spent, we present the following
resolutions for your consideration.
Resolved, by the County Board of
Bayfield, County, in annual session
this oath day of November, 1914,
that committee of two, either
members Of the board or either
competent men, to be appointed by
by the chairman, be appointed to
secure proper data and other reli-
able information concerning the re-
sources, of the county, same to take
in every town and location in the
county, said information to be is
sued in a pamphlet setting forth
the facts clearly and honestly, so
as to favor no certain locality, but
to give reliable information that
strangers and outsiders may know
Just the conditions here, said PAM
phlets to be distributed in the best
manner possible so as to get into
the hands of prospective settlers,
and be it further
Resolved, that the sum of $500
by appropriated out of any funds
available for the purpose of defray-
ing the expenses of the committee
in securing of material for the same,
said committee to incur the least
expense possible necessary to do
the work.
