Wisconsin utility windfall aids La Crosse sewer funding
State treasurer turned over to La Crosse 17 356.51 dollars representing the city's share of taxes on the Wisconsin Minnesota Light and Power company plus interest. The unexpected sum may avert a bond fight over a 20 000 dollar Mississippi street trunk sewer project as opposition led by Alderman Roethe resists further bonding. The extra funds were unbudgeted and surprise taxpayers in the city.
