    Under the law, the townships will receive a total of

$12,438.47, 40% of which goes into the general fund, 40% into

County fund. in addition to this, Bayfield County will receive

$12,438.47 during the fiscal year directly from the State, which

     The program cairied out on County Forest land is included

under the following five general types of work: building of

truck trails, ?cncting and establishing permanent section

corners, planti-rc, fire hazard elimination, and stand improve-

     During the past year, a WPA crew of twenty to forty men has

been engaged in brushing, building culverts and ditch drainage

in connection with the building of truck trails.   Up to November

1st, six new miles were added this year, making a total of 34

miles completed since this project was started. Some additional

mileage has been brushed and is ready for stumping and ditching.
