Dear Sir: As previously taken up with
YOU. the Wisconsin Highway Commits
sion has made an effort to have some
present at each County Board meeting
this fan The fact that county board
meetings are an punched i'm one week
makes 1T difficult, not 10 say Impossible
TO set representative present al the
time requested 10y each board or "a
many cases TO furnish the representa-
tives desired We have, however, done
the best we possibly could and trust
that your board VIII appreciate this fact
and that the representative sent viii
give satisfactory service.
