Senate Votes Flood Relief for Wisconsin Flooded Areas
A 1935 emergency senate bill proposed and passed to appropriate 100000 dollars from relief proceeds for southwestern Wisconsin flood damage. The measure allows an additional 100000 if needed and funds to be managed by a four assemblyman and three senator committee. Governor La Follette sent a four member delegation to seven hardest hit counties to assess damage and costs. Federal relief agencies promised swift aid, with surveys planned by Rural Resettlement and FERA officials for Crawford, Rich, Jang, Seuk, Columbus, Juneau, La Crosse, Vernon, and Jackson counties.

Counties Allow To Waive Penalties On Delinquent Taxes
Wisconsin counties may use a new law to waive interest and penalties on delinquent real estate taxes if the principal is settled by October 1, 1936. The plan targets about 60 million dollars tied up since 1931, potentially boosting county coffers as boards meet in November and decide whether to apply waivers. Milwaukee City may opt in, while estimates show counties remain burdened by unliquidated tax deeds and unpaid taxes across the region.
