City to amend condemnation petition for civic center site
La Crosse County Court granted City Atty Fred E Steele permission to amend the original condemnation petition to target only two parcels held by August Koschnitzke and Rose H Raper next to city property. The amendment aims to list specific use and parking purposes with a Sept 23 hearing set by Judge Roy V Ahlstrom. The ruling dismisses condemnation against other owners and starts new proceedings for remaining properties in the municipal auditorium area.

Aldermen Give Tentative Okay To Fare Boost
Common Council committees on La Crosse transit tentatively approved two provisions of a three point fare increase proposed by the firm.
