Harold Fiedler, new engineer for Wisconsin District 5, told two Greater La Crosse Chamber committees that the office is ready to act if funds appear for I road mileage. Plans for La Crosse Tomah segment could be prepared early if funds become available, but current money limits delays. Legislature faces slim odds for May action as highway funds lag, while rural shares rise.

A Delicate Question Does Legislature Out Aid To Town Roads
The Wisconsin debate over speeding up main highway improvements avoids a key issue raised by Public Expenditure Survey of Wisconsin. The state trunk system should promote Wisconsin, and funds for back roads undermine main arteries. Disparities between main and local roads grow visible in budgets, with state share at about 44.7 percent and likely to fall. Politicians shy from facing borrowing or new taxes to expand road building.
