REPORT OF SPECIAL COMMITTEE
TO INVESTIGATE THE PRO-
POSED EXTENSION TO THE
COUNTY SYSTEM OF HIGH
WAYS.
To the Honorable Members Of the
bayfield, County Board,
Gentlemen:
This proposed extension to the
secondary system of highways of
Bayfield, County, begins at the juno
ton Of 9Th Avenue and 4th Street
in the City of Washburn thence in
a Northwesterly direction, a dis
tance of little more than one mile,
connecting with the Bayfield, Coun-
ty Highway &c" or the commonly
called Four Mile Creek Road.
The Commute found this section Of
road in good condition all ravines
are in good condition.
In examining this road, the only
improvements which would possibly
be necessary in the future, would be
to widen the highway, and cover a
short distance of sand with some
binding material.
In view of the*fact that this is a
very short extension to the County
Highway system and that it would
connect the County &c" with the
City of Washburn, we recommend
that the same be placed on the Sc
condary System of Highways of Bay
field County, in accordance with
such resolutions and regulations gov
erning the adoption of additional
mileage 10 the County System.
Respectfully submitted,
ROY HI. OKERSTROM,
CHRIS IVERSON.
1t was moved and seconded that
the recommendation of the Committee
be accepted and said road be added
to the County System, same to take
effect at once. Motion carried.

being approximately 93-4 miles.
The Committee found the road in
the Town of Hughes not turnpiked.
This road passes over sandy coun-
try and this road is similar to other
sand barron roads in the County.
This section would have to be recon-
structed.
The three miles over the boule-
ward is in good condition, all cul-
verts are galvanized iron. There
are no large fills or cuts to be made,
the soil is sandy loan, very good
road material. One mile North
from the beginning Of this section
The next mile, which runs West
crosses Refer creek. The bridge,
although rebuilt lately is of the pole
type and would have to be replaced
in the near future. The Town has
another very good gravel pit on this
road and have graveled part of
this section.
The next section which runs North
