Ferry Row Describes Winona Ferry License Controversy
The Winona ferry dispute rewinds to last May when A Patterson won a county grant at 481 annually, a $150 rebate followed, Wollman’s higher bid was rejected, and Wollman began ferrying. Patterson sought injunctions, the Last Guessers court reversed, Cramsie favored Patterson then shifted to Welah and Allen landing rights, Patterson later pressed charges, Welsh and Allen were fined and quit, new warrants against Welsh and Allen led to arrests and delays, leaving townsfolk frustrated as navigation closed and relief was sought.
